It’s always fun to watch an athlete step out of their comfort zone and try their hand at acting. It’s funny because you can always see how tense and stiff they become. Pretty soon we’ll be able to apply that to LeBron James. Both he and Kevin Hart will co-star in an upcoming movie called [...]

And you thought the Boston Celtics were tanking. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; I thought so, too. Matter of fact, I still think so. They’re 8-12, probably to the dismay of general manager Danny Ainge. He likely figured them for a win or two by this point. Not eight. And there was no way in [...]

Being in the last month of 2013, I can’t help but look ahead to basketball sneakers coming out next year so take a very early look at a few of the kicks the Nike Basketball division has scheduled for 2014. Presumably seen displayed here is the Zoom LeBron Soldier 8, Lunar Hyperdunk 2014, and Hyperposite [...]

Oh, you New York Knicks. You wildly dysfunctional, presently terrible New York Knicks. You never cease to amaze us whilst also making us loathe ourselves for indulging your embarrassing antics. Sorry, did I lose you there? Good, I didn’t think so. The Knicks have been a living, breathing catastrophe this season. Reminiscent of the days [...]

Most NBA scouts and GM’s agree that after the first month of the NCAA season, Duke forward Jabari Parker is hands-down the most NBA ready among the star quartet of superstar collegiate freshmen that includes Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle, and Aaron Gordon. He’s averaging an impressive 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks on the [...]

Winning heals all. Ticket prices included. When the Knicks signed Carmelo Anthony, and during Linsanity, you had to take out a loan in order to afford tickets. But now that there’s not much hype surrounding the team, coupled with their 9-game losing streak, ticket prices are plummeting. Same goes for Nets who aren’t doing much [...]

Second year Pistons big man Andre Drummond just might have a great future ahead of him, especially if he keeps developing at his current rate. He showed us glimpses of his immense talent last season, pairing with Greg Monroe to form one of the most potent and up-and-coming frontcourts in the Association. Early season success [...]
