I don’t know that there could possibly be a stranger story. Chris Duhon was nearly run over in a mall parking lot. According to the report by MyFoxOrlando.com, it seems like a pretty trivial reason. The motive seems odd, but Duhon was hurt enough to the point where he doesn’t even remember the incident. Let’s [...]

Things change in the NBA all the time. Preseason basketball is often considered meaningless because, well, it is. It’s supposed to be a time for star players to work through rust, fringe players to secure roster spots and coaches to nail down rotations. And in many ways, that’s what it is.  But it’s also a [...]

Just because Derrick Rose is back in the lineup doesn’t necessarily mean that all is well in Chicago. According to a Yahoo! report, there is a rift going on between Tom Thibodeau and Bulls brass. It has to do with personnel moves that were made that Thibs hasn’t been comfortable with. There will always be [...]

Halfway thru the 2013 NBA preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers look better than many expected even playing without 5-time NBA champion and 15-time All-Star Kobe Bryant.

The Bulls and Rose don’t want you to panic. But you may be panicking, waging a war between yourself, the optimist, and yourself, the Rose realist. Personally, [...]

This is a normal occurrence in the NFL, but in the NBA? Teammates fighting during practice? What’s this all about? The Nets’ Andray Blatche and Mirza Teletovic got into during a recent Nets practice and had to be separated. With Kevin Garnett now in town and the new vocal leader, I wonder what his message [...]

So, yeah. This happened. The Los Angeles Lakers are in China as part of the NBA’s Global games schedule, a trip that’s proved dangerous to their roster’s well-being. Practices haven’t been particularly grueling, and outside of some jet lag and presumed trouble adjusting to the time difference, no reports of basketball-related injuries have been sent [...]

Analyst have projected the Lakers finish towards the bottom half of the Western Conference, and out of the playoff picture. Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with fans and the players. But when you take a look at their roster, age and injuries, is it really far off? Aside from Kobe, another big question [...]

In case Dwight Howard didn’t know, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have fans all around the globe. Think of it as an extended entourage. You mess with the Lakers or Kobe in the states, and you’ll inevitably feel the worldwide wrath. Superman officially knows what I’m talking about. His Houston Rockets journeyed to [...]
