Despite the 3-8 start to the season, the Brooklyn Nets are still very marketable and there is still a big enough market for team apparel. That said, take a look at the adidas Crazy 8 basketball sneakers inspired directly by the Brooklyn Nets. For the Brooklyn Nets colorway of the popular adidas Crazy 8, a [...]

Injuries have a way of finding the Chicago Bulls. If it’s not Derrick Rose, it’s Joakim Noah. Or Taj Gibson. Or Kirk Hinrich. Now, it’s Jimmy Butler. According to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, Butler is expected to miss between two and four weeks with turf toe: Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler is expected to miss [...]

Rajon Rondo is staying right where he is. For now. The Boston Celtics All-Star point guard has been linked to a variety of trade rumors over the last year or so. Most recently, the New York Knicks tried to get in on the action, reportedly dangling a package comprising Amar’e Stoudemire, Raymond Felton and Iman [...]

Not only does Dwight Howard have a bunch of critics to silence in Houston, but he also has to impress Hakeem Olajuwon who is mentoring him. Hakeem arguably had the best footwork of any big man in the post, and no one ever accused Dwight of being a polished back-to-the-basket player. That spells trouble. Apparently, [...]

The downside about being a famous athlete is that your life plays out for everyone to see. Dwyane Wade went through a pretty public divorce a few years ago and it’s unfortunate because there are two children involved. But apparently, Wade isn’t shying away from his personal life.

Remember how good the Nets were supposed to be after acquiring those pieces during the off-season? Weren’t they supposed to be a top 4 team in the East and legit contenders? Sure, it’s still early, but none of that stuff is panning out. In fact, it’s so bad that they bailed on the media last [...]

Now we’re getting somewhere. More than 10 percent of the NBA season is in the books, allowing us to form conclusions based off more than two games and a bottle of Grey Goose. Now’s the time when the tankers begin to settle in and contenders that aren’t the Miami Heat start playing like they care. [...]

Mamba reloaded. Kobe Bryant has been medically cleared to resume basketball activities and has returned to Lakers practice. Naturally, he’s out of shape (his words, not ours) and just because he’s been cleared doesn’t mean he should jump in head first. As we know, it will take some time before he trusts his body enough [...]

Rajon Rondo hasn’t played a game for the Celtics in what seems like forever. In fact, with the departure of all of the key components from Boston, we’ve almost forgotten about him. But when he returns from his ACL tear, he will once again be one of the top PGs. And his injury hasn’t stopped [...]
