As great of a player as Dr. J was, I think it’s fair to say he’s still probably underrated. Two things are responsible for that in my opnion: he played part of his career in the ABA, and he was winding down as Jordan was taking off. For whatever reason, Jordan’s era is the one [...]

This was never going to work. When the Houston Rockets signed Dwight Howard, Omer Asik’s days as a starter were numbered. More likely, his days in Houston were numbered. Despite what coach Kevin McHale repeatedly indicated, Asik and Howard could not share the floor together. Doing so would dictate that Howard play power forward. Or, [...]

Carmelo Anthony is pissed. Finally. I’m not going to blame him, either. If I were him, I’d be pissed too. Like, really pissed. Following the New York Knicks’ 109-106 loss to the Houston Rockets at Madison Square Garden Anthony tried to sidestep questions regarding the no-call on his desperation three late in the fourth quarter, [...]

Lamar Odom’s slide began when he was dealt from the Lakers to the Mavericks. Essentially, that was the last time we saw the real Odom. We not sure who that guy has been since. Then, of course, he has had a myriad of off the court issues to deal with as well. But that’s apparently [...]

A year ago if someone said Paul George is one of the top candidates in the league for the MVP award, you would get a look…possibly even a straight jacket. But timing, hard work, and performing in the spotlight can make a world of difference. Roy Hibbert made that statement about George winning the 2014 [...]

This is just awesome. In case there was a question of if Michael Jordan is still balling we see here with MJ partaking in a little day drinking by playing beer pong. Over at the Coconut Grove Ritz-Carlton in Miami this past weekend, MJ was seen getting enjoying a game of pong as well as [...]

The Lakers enjoyed an amazing streak of 270 home sellouts (7 years worth of games). They’re the Lakers, why not? But that streak has come to a screaching hault. This all boils down to Kobe Bryant and his injury. Apparently, Laker fans aren’t interested in seeing Xavier Henry, Nick Young, and the like on a [...]

Players wanting to play in major markets is something that will never change, no matter what language is discussed during collective bargaining or during  a lockout. To that end, the Knicks are reportedly planning on using that leverage to recruit Kevin Love in 2015. This would be great for the Knicks and much needed. Right [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]
