Brace yourself, there’s an Andrew Bogut-Andre Drummond comparison coming. Brandon Jennings has barely had any time to settle into his new digs with the Detroit Pistons, but that hasn’t stopped him from kissing some serious ass. Excuse me, I mean deservingly praising his teammates. After working out at the Pistons’ practice facility for the first [...]

I know that when I was back in Middle School playing for the 8th grade school team, it was a major accomplishment to touch rim or maybe even slap the backboard on a lay-up, before running up the court to play defense on the other end. Well, times have definitely changed as we have seen [...]

This is an interesting time for Nets coach Jason Kidd. As of last week, it has become known that he will own a piece of the franchise in which he’s coaching. To make things even more awkward, he’ll have his jersey retired by the time, while he’s a coach. Are these two firsts? Jason Kidd [...]

For the longest time, former Lottery pick Darko Milicic has been considered the most disastrous #2 overall selection in NBA Draft history, or at least in the modern era. But after the still only 24 year old Michael Beasley, the #2 pick in 2008, was released this past week, could “B-Easy” be creeping up on [...]

J.R. Smith has been in the league for a while now, but this is by far the most noise he’s mad during any offseason. First was the carry over from his alleged partying during the playoffs.
