Naturally, international players who become NBA stars always have stong roots back to their homeland. It’s always evident during the Olympics or any form of international competition. Tony Parker is no different. Parker says he’d like to play 5-6 more seasons in the league before ultimately finishing up his playing days in his native France. [...]

With the Lakers already mathematically eliminated from playoff contention in a forgettable season, Steve Nash is still fighting. Initially it was reported that he’d retire at the end of this season, but he has shot down those rumors. Missing much of the season due to injury, Nash is expected to make his return to the [...]

Kyle Lowry is having one helluva season. And he’s about to have one helluva summer.

Mike Woodson has to be feeling pretty uncomfortable these days. With the arrival of Phil Jackson, we also receive the news that Phil was first offered the chance to coach the team next year, but declined. That pretty much confirms that the writing is on the wall for Woodson, despite the Knicks current 7 game [...]

Now that Phil Jackson is officially with the Knicks, let the Lakers euologizing begin. Fans of the team are in mourning over Phil’s decision, as if a return to the organization was imminent.

March Madness, here the NBA comes. While many of you remain transfixed on your television screens, waiting to see how long it takes before Wichita State gets screwed by vengeful and begrudging bracketing practices, some of us still care about the NBA.
