For the 2nd time in 3 seasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers have secured the #1 overall pick in the upcoming 2013 NBA Draft.  Putting all of the conspiracy theories aside, that’s a pretty quick shot in the arm when it comes to not only recovering but rebuilding after Lebron James left Cleveland for South Beach a [...]

I’m pretty sure anything less would be surprising, but scouts are already tagging Dwyane Wade’s 10 year old son, Zaire, as one of the best 5th grade players in the country. Zaire Wade is being considered what would be the future class of 2020, and has great court vision and a nice outside stroke. Handles [...]

The day has finally come for Brian Shaw. It was nothing short of a kick in the gut when he was passed over by the Lakers for Mike Brown, leaving Shaw with no option but to take an assistant role with another team: Indiana. After two seasons working on Frank Vogel’s staff, Shaw has finally [...]

It had been widely speculated for a few weeks now, but it’s finally official: Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports signed Kevin Durant. Jay-Z sold his stake in the Brooklyn Nets, and is a certified NBA agent, so he’s free to do what he likes now. I’d caution other agents to not underestimate his power. But Kevin [...]

This is by far the strangest story we can think of involving the great Scottie Pippen.

As the Miami Heat already know, NBA title runs are short lived. South Beach’s finest paraded around on Monday in celebration of their second straight championship.

Sneaker lineups for limited releases are nothing out of the ordinary. With more people willing to shell out $100+ dollars for sneakers, sportswear companies are very aware that there are big bucks to be mae from high-priced sneakers. One person took the passion others have for limited footwear as an opportunity to make a come [...]

Chris Paul was never going to join Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. Never, ever. Now that Doc Rivers has joined the Los Angeles Clippers, we can finally accept that. The Boston Celtics agreed to part ways with their long-time head coach in exchange for an unprotected first-round draft pick from the Clippers in [...]

Darko Milicic will forever be an NBA Draft punchline. Darko was somehow in the middle of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all being drafted in the top 5 in 2003. Darko was sandwiched right in between and went second overall, right before Melo, Bosh and Wade. In defense of Detroit, although [...]

Whether or not Doc Rivers forced this “trade” to the Clippers is unclear. But what we do know is that he wasn’t interested in being a part of a Celtics rebuild. Based on that information, the perception is that he was on board with this move. That doesn’t bode well for Doc with being welcome [...]
