This is tank-tastic. With Evan Turner, Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala all gone, Thaddeus Young is the Philadelphia 76ers’ leader. Heck, he’s their best player with Michael Carter-Williams still developing. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t given thought to life outside Philly. How could he not? The Sixers have lost 25 straight games, and there’s [...]

As if the summer of 2010 wasn’t epic enough, 2014 could provide some drama of it’s own as well. Some big time names can hit the open market and become free agents, such as LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony to name a few. With the arrival of Phil Jackson in New York, many [...]

In 2014, social media paired with someone who is recognized as a celebrity is a powerful thing. That combination can create awareness of anything as seen by the relevance of Dwyane Wade’s WADE Brand subsidiary under Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning. On his Instagram feed, Dwyane Wade posted a picture of five new colorways of the [...]

Put your trust in this week’s edition of NBA Power Rankings. With the regular season drawing to a  close, it’s really time to start putting things in perspective.

As bad as the Knicks have been this season, they are still just a few game out of the playoffs. After a 7-game win-streak, they’ve lost their last two to non-playoff teams. The most recent one came last night at the hands of the Lakers in L.A. So yes, that meant Phil Jackson made a [...]

Few players, if any, score the rock as easily as newest Duke commit Luke Kennard. The 5 star junior shooting guard, hailing from Franklin, Ohio, has been the hottest high school player on the recruiting front after averaging a ridiculous 41 ppg, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists this season for Franklin HS. His stock really [...]

With Kevin Durant seemingly leading the MVP race, this appears to be OKC’s best shot at winning a title. They’re playing well as a team and so is KD. He took it up another notch when Westbrook went out, and that has continued now that he’s back on a limit restriction because of his recent [...]

Granted, basketball is basketball but the level definitely matters. At that’s definitely the case when it comes to coaching. Some NBA coaches have gone to the college ranks and have had success, but the same isn’t always true in reverse. It’s far less frequent. The names of those who weren’t successful is far too long [...]

Shaquille O’Neal may have taken Shaq Fu a bit too far. The big fella is in a bit of hot water after a TNT co-worker is alleging that he was attached by Shaq, according to WSBTV. We don’t want to jump to conclusions because we all know how Shaq likes to joke around, so we’re [...]

Stop. Please stop. I’m begging you. Derrick Rose isn’t going to play again this season. We know this. Yet people still feel the need to ask because, well, he’s Derrick Rose.
