Monta Ellis is an enigma, but is he one that can make a worthwhile contribution on a contending NBA team? The volume shooting guard has peaked my curiosity since his days with the Golden State Warriors. He can score in bunches and sometimes seemingly at will.

When you score 50 points at Madison Square Garden, you’re in some pretty elite company. You will be talked about forever. Last night, Steph Curry of the Warriors became an MSG legend. He torched the Knicks for 54 points, while making 11 of 13 from 3-point range. He was unconscious.   But, the Knicks did [...]

So much so that he approached Allen during halftime of a Bucks at Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, and sold him on the role of ‘Jesus Shuttlesworth’ in He Got Game. Talk about going after what you want.

Per Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports Florida, Lee approached Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the USA basketball team, to see if he could join in on the festivities: Colangelo, chairman of USA Basketball, said [...]

Per Howard Eskin of Fox 29 TV in Philadelphia, the Rockets are prepared to offer the still injured Bynum a contract this summer. I’m being told by sources the #houstonrockets are ready to offer #sixers C [...]

After bearing witness to yet another lackluster dunk contest during 2013 NBA All Star Weekend, filled with missed dunks, lack of creativity, and most of all a lack of star power, we were left with that all familiar empty feeling of wanting more. Oh what I would give for seeing a Kenny Smith between the [...]
