Yesterday, the Washington Wizards held a press conference to discuss John Wall’s new max contract extension. Wall is everything to the franchise right now so they did what they had to do. Wall is usually a dry interview and doesn’t typically give you much. But that wasn’t the case here. While talking about his family, [...]

Frankly, the only reason Craig Ehlo is top of mind among basketball fans is because he was the lowly individual in the video when Michael Jordan hit “the shot”, and also been the subject of some pretty amazing dunk posters by Jordan and others. But, now Ehlo has much more to think about than that. [...]

As we all know, former #1 overall pick John Wall is fast, really fast on the hardwood.  So fast that some have labeled him the NBA’s fastest player in the league, although I’m sure Russell Westbrook, Ty Lawson, and Derrick Rose when healthy might have something to say about that. Of course, Adidas jumped quickly [...]

This is the moment all New York Knicks fans have been waiting for, but not in a good away. According to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, Amar’e Stoudemire won’t be returning to Hakeem Olajuwon’s camp to work on his post moves this summer, as the team believes his surgically-repaired knees need rest: Stoudemire will [...]

Joe Dumars and the Detroit Pistons have already done something the Milwaukee Bucks never did—made Brandon Jennings happy. Entering the fifth season of his NBA career, Jennings has shot better than 40 percent from the field only once, never made it out of the first round of the playoffs and been generally unhappy in Milwaukee.

People with a lot of money do boneheaded things, but the Rockets’ Terrence Jones may have raised the bar. This also brings light to a relatively quiet offseason for the NBA, in terms of guys getting in trouble. Jones was recently arrested for allegedly kicking a homeless man sleeping on the street. Why? Just because [...]

Oh what almost could have been for the Houston Rockets. Not that pairing Dwight Howard with James Harden wasn’t enough. For now—the Rockets still need one more star if they wish to contend for a championship—it is. But it could have been even better. According to ESPN Grantland’s Bill Simmons, Chris Paul threatened to leave [...]

At this point, LeBron James can do no wrong. He has silenced many of his critics by doing what they said he couldn’t. So what does he have up his sleeve for an encore? A run at president of the National Basketball Player’s Association, of course. According to ESPN, that’s exactly what LeBron is mulling [...]

Often times in the NBA, players aren’t worth the contracts they are given, but based on the current situation of the team, it becomes necessary. That may be the case with John Wall of the Wizards. Washington officially inked their point man to a max deal of $80 million over 5-years. Wall hasn’t exactly lived [...]

Never count out the Los Angeles Lakers or rather, Kobe Bryant. It’s a lesson I myself learned long ago, and one that still applies today. Writing off any team the Black Mamba—injured or not—plays for is like roller skating through your local mall in nothing save for a pair of tidy whities, in that you [...]
