This new age of the NBA is one where former players have been mentoring the young bucks. Hakeem Olajuwon has been working on low post moves with current players so much that the Rockets officially hired him to do so with Dwight Howard. John Wall, fresh off of a max contract extension with the Wizards, [...]

There’s is no explaining the recovery process of one Kobe Bryant. It’s been said before, almost to the point where it’s played out. But not quite. Because we’re still enraptured, still fascinated by the Black Mamba’s borderline immortality, his self-healing-like powers. To be crystal clear, I’m not kidding. I’ve never been more serious about anything [...]

Just because the Detroit Pistons acquired Brandon Jennings last week, that doesn’t mean they’ve lost interest in Rajon Rondo. Previously, the Pistons were rumored to be interested in both young PGs, but ended up with Jennings. According to reports, Detroit still has their eye on Rondo and could use Jennings as a chip to land [...]

Ever since being traded to the Hornets as part of the Chris Paul deal, Eric Gordon has never been the same. He was one of the promising young rising stars, but the injury bug has taken a toll on him. The Pelicans have an excited young roster on paper, if everyone can stay healthy. In [...]

Nikola Pekovic still hasn’t signed anything, which is only weird because Brandon Jennings has. Of all the free agents, especially restricted free agents, most wouldn’t have thought Pek would be the last big name to sign. He should have been one of the first. After averaging 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds last season, a deal [...]

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.
