With Dwight Howard’s contract with the Lakers expiring this summer, the Howard signing rumors are going to run rampant again. Many would have thought after the move to LA, that the Lakers would have dominated the West this season and as a result Howard’s decision to stay in LA would have been quite simple. But [...]

We were treated to yet another thrilling and entertaining NCAA Tournament, concluding with Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals outlasting the Michigan Wolverines to take home the 2013 NCAA Championship. Following up such an exciting season highlighted by Michigan’s Trey Burke winning the 2013 Wooden Award, given out to the nation’s most outstanding player, we [...]

Kobe Bryant is omnipresent. The Los Angeles Lakers managed to defeat the San Antonio Spurs sans the Black Mamba, but just because he wasn’t on the court, doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved. He was. Per Janis Carr of the Orange County Register, Kobe spoke with Pau Gasol at halftime and told him to be more [...]

Well after Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs beat the New Orleans Hornets last night to reach .500, it didn’t take him and teammates long to shave their grisly beards. As you remember, a few months ago they had made a pact not to shave until they reached .500. I’m not sure they expected it to [...]

By now, the whole basketball universe is still dealing with the shock of future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant’s untimely Achilles injury from Friday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors. If you’re like me, surely everyone thought the “Mamba” was going to walk it off and continue to lead the Lakers on their quest [...]

I’d love to see this graphic overlay-ed with the shooting percentages (big prize for any reader who can hook us up). But regardless of the percentages, its amazing to see Stephen Curry already outpacing what many consider to be the greatest three point shooters of all-time, Reggie Miller and Ray Allen. Provided Curry can remain [...]

The Golden State Warriors have clinched a playoff berth, but their seeding is still yet to be determined.  If they’re healthy, they can be an interesting matchup. The key word is “if”. Last night, Andrew Bogut went down with an ankle injury and did not return. This is the same ankle that caused him to [...]

Kobe Bryant seems to be very uncertain as to when he plan on retiring. He’s only 34 years old, but he has 17 years worth of NBA miles on his body. His game hasn’t fallen off all that much but I wonder how much desire he has left or how much he wants to accomplish. [...]
