Several years ago when the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Mo Williams to be LeBron James’ running mate, he became a semi-household name and a pretty respected player. Mo is a solid NBA performer, but ever since LeBron left Cleveland, Mo has fallen off the map even though he’s just 30. I guess you can say that [...]

David Lee isn’t going anywhere, or at least that’s what he’s been told. Speaking with Marc Berman of the New York Post, Lee said that the Golden State Warriors have told him they’re not shopping him and the $44-plus million left on his contract: Caught up with David Lee at his kids camp in Chappaqua [...]

Remember the original “Twin Towers”, consisting of 7’4 Ralph Sampson and 7’0 Hakeem Olajuwon on the Houston Rockets during the mid 1980’s? Although they only played together for a few seasons, they were an impenetrable duo in the painted area, proving to be the model for positioning two 7 foot plus big men in the [...]

Mark Cuban’s not sorry that he’s not sorry. Since his Dallas Mavericks won an NBA title in 2011, Cuban has taken a lot of flack for the decisions he’s made or simply allowed to be made. After Dirk Nowitzki led them to a championship over the Miami Heat, the team was essentially dismantled. Just like [...]

What took so long for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to team up in an ad? Whatever the reason may be, Foot Locker has done the dynamic duo justice. Blake can be dry, but that dryness has a way of being funny by accident when he’s starring in commercials. CP3 has good camera presence usually, [...]

In the game of basketball, or more specifically streetball, the most important attribute to have on the blacktop is some insane verticals to wow the crowd with some rim wrecking dunks. But when you are barely 4’5, like Venice Basketball League veteran Jamani “Mani Love” Swanson, one must rely on quickness and basketball IQ to [...]

Bargain hunting in the NBA can be fun. Which, for the New York Knick is good, because bargains are all they can afford. Armed with absolutely no cap room, the Knicks managed to make something of an offseason splash this summer. They re-signed Pablo Prigioni and an injured J.R. Smith, and traded for Andrea Bargnani. [...]

Shane Battier is upset, and I don’t blame him. The NBA released the 2013-14 schedule on Tuesday and, lo and behold, the Miami Heat are on the road for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Naturally, Battier isn’t thrilled about the idea (h/t to USA Today). The schedule I got said that we are on the road [...]

This past weekend the father of the whole signature sneaker series, Michael Jordan, broke out an unreleased pair of the fabled Air Jordan XI for a day during his Flight School basketball camp. Likely inspired by the Charlotte Bobcats team colors, this blindingly exclusive Jordan 11 that Michael Jordan has on features navy blue patent [...]

Magic Johnson is just saying what everyone is thinking. Oh, and what everyone else has been saying too. Speaking with the Los Angeles Daily News (via Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel), Magic said that he believes LeBron James will opt out of his contract with the Miami Heat next summer. “LeBron could opt in, but [...]
