It’s official: the Pacers have lost their way. Many complain that the regular season is too long, but I beg to differ. One of the benefits of having an 82-game campaign is to smoke out the players and teams that can’t hack the grind. Is this the case with the Pacers? Roy Hibbert has been [...]

If there is one guy that speaks before he thinks on National TV and is loved for it, it’s Sir Charles Barkley. He’s colorful to say the least, and personally I love watching his broadcast analysis.

Since the Easter holiday is only a couple of weeks away, Nike is ready to lace their flagship players like Kevin Durant and LeBron James with new coloways of their signature sneakers.

Not even Jesus Christ can save the New York Knicks now. Then again, Raymond Felton isn’t asking him to. J.R.

He went from being a little known athletic swing-man to being an NCAA Player of the Year candidate and potential 1st Round NBA Draft pick seemingly overnight, continually making [...]

Wow…what a maddening March it has been in college basketball as almost assuredly no one could have predicted that both Kentucky and UConn, two teams with some obvious flaws entering the Tournament, would wind up playing each other Monday evening for the 2014 NCAA National Championship. Kentucky, the preseason #1 tanked team in the country [...]

Aaron Harrison must have ice water running through his veins. In tonight’s final four game between Kentucky and Wisconsin, Harrison was only 1-13 on the game. He was definitely not at his finest. But with the game and his team’s season on the line, and only 5.7 seconds left, he was as good as they [...]
