Nepotism is a wonderful thing. Talent doesn’t always matter when you have family that can get you places. We see it all the time in sports, whether it’s concerning playing or coaching. Michael Jordan’s brother is now benefiting from nepotism. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe we’ve ever heard of Jordan’s brother from [...]

Shaq has never had anything nice to say about Dwight Howard. Clearly Shaq has always been offended by fans, analysts, and even ‘Superman’ himself comparing Dwight Howard’s game to that of his own. While I agree with Shaq’s assessment that Dwight’s game falls way short in that comparison, in fact their names/games shouldn’t even be [...]

The first couple games of Sacramento Kings rookie Ben McLemore’s career in the NBA Summer League have been less than desirable for Kings’ fans, who are expecting big things from one of the more offensively potent players in this year’s NBA Draft. However, last night McLemore showed his tremendous upside against the Raptors by filling [...]

Brandon Jennings and Rajon Rondo will not be joining the Detroit Pistons. Apparently. Team president Joe Dumars denied that the Pistons were engaged in trade talks with the Milwaukee Bucks for Jennings, a restricted free agent, and the Boston Celtics for Rondo, who is still recovering from an ACL injury. “Bogus, bogus. No conversations.” Dumars [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks are going through a bit of a transition period. The face of their franchise for the last several years has been Brandon Jennings, but he reportedly doesn’t want to stay, and Monta Ellis already gone. Also gone now is Drew Gooden who was waived via the amnesty clause. It would appears as [...]

Mike Miller had one thing on his mind after being amnestied by the Miami Heat: Pringles. I’m most definitely not kidding, though that does need some clarifying. The Heat announced on Tuesday that they would be waiving Miller via the amnesty clause after the forward spent three years with the team. Miller was informed on [...]

Like Carmelo Anthony before him, Metta World Peace has finally come home. After spending nearly a decade and a half elsewhere, World Peace has joined the New York Knicks, the team that passed over him in the 1999 NBA draft in favor of Frederic Weis. Long past his prime, World Peace is also far removed [...]

Elton Brand is now an Atlanta Hawk. The veteran signed a 1-year deal with the club. With the addition of Brand (albeit an older Brand), and with Al Horford there, the Hawks have a pretty decent front court. We know that GM Danny Ferry has decided to shake things up and this Brand signing is [...]

During the 1999 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks had the opportunity to select Queens native Ron Artest. Instead, they opted for European-born Frederic Weis. Weis would go on to get hurdled by Vince Carter in the 2000 Olympics, while Artest would go on to have a solid career. All it took was 14 years, [...]

J.R. Smith’s brief tenure with the Knicks has been up and down to say the least. First, he complained about wanting to be a starter, then went out and won Sixth Man of the Year. Then he was rumored to be out partying during the playoffs and his performance suffered. Knicks fans wanted him gone, [...]
