Last week it was reported that LeBron James would serve as executive producer of a new television show. When the lines sport and entertainment so blurred, I guess this isn’t such a big deal. Especially given the magnitude of his power. But how about Phil Jackson? Jackson and fiancee Jeanie Buss, along with Kurt Rambis, are [...]

Every so often I come across something said awhile ago that I find interesting and think wasn’t talked about enough. This is one of those times. Speaking with ESPN New York’s Jared Zwerling, Carmelo Anthony said he thinks the NBA’s balance of power has shifted from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference. “When I [...]

LeBron James would love to stay with the Miami Heat beyond this season. Kind of, sort of. He thinks. Much ado is made over LeBron’s impending free-agent nuptials. When he hits the open market again in 2014, much like he did in 2010, teams will go coo coo for cocoa puffs, then they’ll begin recruiting [...]

It’s no secret that the most highly sought after free agent this Summer was none other than 7 time NBA All Star Dwight Howard. After a lengthy wooing process that featured fans in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston all voicing their wishes to secure the services of the dominating big man for their hometown team, [...]

Still only 23 year old point guard John Wall seems to have the World in the palm of his hands. In only 3 seasons out out of the University of Kentucky, the former #1 overall draft pick back in 2010, already has impressive career averages of 16.9 points and 8 assists, helping to become the [...]

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 [...]

I’m having flashbacks. Not good flashbacks, either. Bad ones. Really, really bad ones. Suddenly I find myself thinking about the 2011 NBA lockout. That was when this whole LeBron James playing in the NFL thing started. When he was unemployed—for want of a better word—jokes that seemed too serious were being made about him going [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is the Dallas Mavericks. When wondering why Mark Cuban won’t consider trading Dirk, it’s as simple as that—he is the Mavericks. Even at 35, he represents everything Dallas wants to stand for, everything that Cuban is looking for in a franchise superstar. Asked on the Artie Lange show why he wouldn’t trade Nowitzki, [...]
