The New York Knicks may be right when they thought that bringing in former NBA Defensive Player of the Year Metta World Peace in free agency would help to bring some toughness to the Knickerbockers’ front-line. But along with some much needed defensive intensity and another scoring option comes the other side of Peace, as [...]

Paul Pierce can kiss the words written across Raymond Felton’s chest. Or at the very least, he can read them. The “New” and the “York” scrawled in succession on Felton’s No. 2 jersey are important. They mean that the concrete jungle is the New York Knicks’ territory. And Felton wants Pierce and the Brooklyn Nets [...]

It’s been no secret that hoops fans in the Seattle area have been longing for pro basketball in their city for a long time, essentially ever since the Sonics were moved to Oklahoma City following the 2008 NBA season. Fans in attendance at Jamal Crawford’s Seattle Pro-Am this Summer have been given a little taste [...]

Nearly a full season and a half since the NBA universe was turned upside down as we all witnessed the onset of “Linsanity”, many feel that promising Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin has “fallen off” or at least made a return to reality. For one magical month in February 2012, Lin took over the NBA, [...]

Turns out the Los Angeles Lakers don’t take too kindly to being slighted. Dwight Howard is more than a month removed from choosing the Houston Rockets over the Lakers and his decision is still making headlines. It will probably stay that way through next season or until Howard gets bored and becomes indecisive about another [...]

With the additions of point guard Brandon Jennings and forward Josh Smith in free agency, fans in Detroit may finally have something to cheer about in the “Motor City.” They are coming off of a disappointing 29 win season and have missed the postseason the past 4 years.  And the glory years under coach Larry [...]

Iman Shumpert is the man. Questionable haircut aside, the dude is raw emotion (and athleticism). That makes for an interesting on-court presence, but it also makes for a great interview. He doesn’t shy away from the tough questions nor does he feel the need to sugarcoat anything. His latest interview with Hoopsworld was indicative of [...]

Let’s be honest with ourselves here: Dwyane Wade probably has a solid year and a half left of decent ball left in those legs. The last two seasons, he has shown significant decline in productivity.
