It’s been a long and arduous rehab for future NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant from a torn Achilles tendon suffered late last season. In addition to the almost never done before comeback from such a serious injury at the advanced age of 35, Bryant doesn’t have much talent left on the Lakers roster when [...]

The season is finally upon us and there are many story-line heading in. Kevin Burke discusses, as well as giving his season’s predictions…. If you have any questions you’d like answered by Kevin on a future THD podcast episode, feel free to email them to [email protected] [...]

The Wiz added some good pieces this offseason, but Nene was hurt last night to a calf injury. [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R.
