As MSG completes a $1 billion dollar renovation, it seems odd that only 1 NBA All-Star Game ever took place there (in 1998), while the New York Knicks have made 5 NBA Finals. Honorable Mention: Bernard King’s 60, Amar’e Stoudemire’s 41, Carmelo Anthony’s 41, Kyrie Irving’s 41, Jeremy Lin’s 38 [...]

At the beginning of the year, Kobe Bryant alongside Nike iD held a contest where entrants would design a pair of the Kobe 8 System on the Nike iD sneaker customization program and the winner would see their design on Bryant’s feet this season. After announcing a winner in late February Kobe recently showed off [...]

In his third season, it’s safe to say that most hoop fans do not think that John Wall has lived up to expectations so far. Granted, he’s still young, but for as much hype as he received in high school and at Kentucky, he should be well on the Kyrie Irving arc (who has one [...]

Kyrie Irving will be out 3-4 weeks with his latest shoulder injury and thus we continue to bear witness to the NBA’s version of the “Curse of Madden.” You know the curse I’m referring to, where any player who appears on the latest edition of the Madden video game franchise cover seems destined for excessive [...]

“Kyrie Irving” and “injury” are becoming far too commonplace. Irving is already a top 5 PG arguably, but he just can’t stay healthy. He’s now out 3-4 weeks with a bad shoulder. Cleveland may as well shut him down for the remainder of the year. Let’s just hope this doesn’t become a theme for his [...]

Dwight Howard has been putting his foot in his mouth for more than a year now. Once one of the most liked, beloved guys in the leauge, he is definitely now one of the most disliked amongst fans. Last week, he ripped his former Orlando teammates (whether he intended to or not), and today he [...]

Every December since 2008 has seen the re-release of a classic Air Jordan XI colorway.  What started with the Jordan Countdown Package collection has become something sneakerheads who pay attention have come to look forward to every year.  Usually a strict “you snooze, you lose” policy is in full effect, but the good people at [...]
