Andrew Bynum is quite the headline-grabber these days. After his stint went horribly wrong with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was traded to the Chicago Bulls, who subsequently waived him. Now he’s an unrestricted free agent, able to sign with the team of choosing, likely for a minimum salary. How did we get here? Seriously, how [...]

One of the biggest surprises of the season has been the top-seeded Portland Trailblazers. We even shone some light on them in our weekly THD Video series. 7-year veteran LaMarcus Aldridge has expanded his game, and, as a result, he’s enjoying his best professional season. His running mate and partner in crime is 2nd year [...]

Prior to this weekend, 6’3 senior guard Nubian Spann hadn’t gotten much attention nationally despite leading his Panther Creek, North Carolina squad to a nearly unblemished 13-1 mark heading into a match-up against rival Apex. But that all has changed after Spann made Sportcenter’s Top 10 plays for shattering a backboard in the 2nd quarter [...]

LeBron James has been here before. Playing great basketball for a team not quite good enough, all the while refusing to provide assurances about his future as he prepares to enter unrestricted free agency—LeBron’s been here before, where Carmelo Anthony is now. To an extent, LeBron himself is there now. Or rather, he should be. [...]

Last night, the Knicks continued their hot play with a key home win vs. the Miami Heat. In order to make a statement to JR Smith, coach Mike Woodson benched the reigning Sixth Man of the Year in attempt to hopefully get a message across from him. It was a close game throughout, and had many [...]

Far from lost in the excitement of the New York Knicks’ victory over the Miami Heat was J.R. Smith, the ever-erratic shooting guard turned punchline. Quite literally, he was lost.
