It’s almost over, but not quite. Now that the Miami Heat have eliminated the Chicago Bulls from the NBA playoffs, the Derrick Rose chatter can stop. Criticism can cease. The “will he or won’t he” game desist. It’s finally over. Except it’s not. Chicago went down against Miami swinging. Down 22-4 early in the first [...]

Believe it or not, LeBron James has never had a max contract in his NBA career. He’s not hurting for cash by any stretch, but it’s interesting when you think about it. Sports Illustrated just released their annual list of the highest paid athletes in America and LeBron is second on the list. In fact, [...]

It’s always interesting to see which former players get lucky enough to land front office or coaching jobs once their careers are over. It works out for some and not so much for others. For example, Patrick Ewing has been dying to become a head coach for more than a decade now and has been [...]

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have Dirk Nowitzki’s approval. Which should come as no surprise.

Heading into this season, not many people would’ve guess Damian Lillard would end up being the Rookie of the Year. Many sided with Anthony Davis, simply because he was taken first overall and was the most known player. So naturally, Lillard headlines the all-Rookie team. There are some pretty good names here who should go [...]

The day has finally arrived. For months (actually, years) now, we have been anticipating where Andrew Wiggins would decide to play his college ball. Widely regarded as the best high school basketball player since LeBron James, Wiggins has opted for Bill Self and Kansas. Many thought he would’ve chosen Kentucky, but they’re probably already too [...]

Last night, the Miami Heat cruised to a relatively comfortable victory over the Chicago Bulls to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. However, lost in that victory is the health of Dwyane Wade.
