Today, Phil Jackson was officially introduced as president of the New York Knicks. As you can imagine, the presser was jam-packed. Right off the bat, Phil seemed very serious about the role that he was embarking on. Championships aside, it’s easy to see how he can impress an owner during an interview. He already has [...]

You have to give Greg Oden credit. Despite his many setbacks, he never gave up and has made through an entire season healthy (knock on wood). Granted, he didn’t play during the beginning of this campaign, but still. Because of injuries and changes to the lineup implemented by Erik Spolestra, Oden has started a handful [...]

Mark Cuban has never been one to hold his tongue and apparently his own team isn’t off limits either. Because of his recent play, Cuban has been expecting more from Dirk Nowitzki. Cuban went so far as to say Dirk takes a “nap” during games from time to time. Obviously, he’s just poking fun at [...]

Meet Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and resident broken record. While Cuban is prone to repeating himself, it’s not all his doing. He’s asked the same questions over and over and over and over again, Groundhog Day-style. It’s never, “How do you feel about bowl haircuts?” or “Are you supplied with unlimited cheese [...]

There isn’t anything about Milwaukee Bucks rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo that won’t leave your heart warm and fuzzy inside. Yes, this is me, writing sentimental mush, shamelessly enraptured by the charming man-child who is taking the NBA rookie class by storm. And I’m not sorry. Some players, you just appreciate. Some rookies are just different. Antetokounmpo [...]

Michael Jordan told Stephen A. Smith this week that he believes Phil Jackson will likely help the New York Knicks succeed in his front office role. Even though the Zen Master doesn’t have any experience in a front office role, he has plenty of experience in talent evaluation, managing of egos, and getting the most [...]

Ray Allen broke Reggie Miller’s 3-pointers-made record a few years ago and the fact that he’s still playing is going to make it extrememly difficult for anyone to ever catch him. But, the way Steph Curry is conducting his business, you have to think that he may give it a good run. Last season, Curry [...]

It’s that time of year again. The field is set, the brackets are finalized, and college basketball fans are again in a frenzy for the 2014 edition of March Madness. The NCAA Tournament is easily the most anticipated postseason playoff system in all of sports as even the most casual hoops fan can’t resist filling [...]

Now that Phil Jackson is officially with the Knicks, the fun begins. Because he’s 68 years old, Jackson is probably going to want to move quickly to build a winner in New York. The fastest way to do that would be through free agency. It just so happens that LeBron James can become available this [...]

Kyrie Irving’s string of injuries throughout his young NBA career has continued. Last night, the Cavs lost to the Clippers in L.A. and may have lost their PG for the remainder of the season as well. Irving left the game in the first quarter after injuring his left bicep and did not return. He is [...]
