During Monday’s loss to the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant picked up another technical foul. This happened right at the end of the second quarter. That was Kobe’s 14th tech and as you know, guys are suspended once they reach 16. Yesterday, the NBA rescinded that technical, so now he’s back to 13 and has some more breathing [...]

In only his second NBA season, we’ve learned a couple things about Kyrie Irving: he’s arguably one of the best PGs in the game, and he’s no stranger to injuries. Despite the latter, he has still managed to put together a very solid sophomore campaign. But hopefully, this hyper-extended knee is just a minor, isolated [...]

Ohh Sir Charles.  While making an appearance on The Price Is Right gameshow during their Celebrity Charity Week, Charles Barkley was called to “come on down” as a contestant. From there, Barkley took part in a preliminary round where he was asked to name the price of items that are tie in to the career [...]

With the kind of roll Tony Parker is on (26 ppg, 7 apg, 4.5 rpg in his last five games), he’s become the Spurs’ most important player. As integral as Tim Duncan’s presence may be, it’s Parker’s play at point that makes San Antonio go. So far, they’re still going, sitting on a 45-13 record [...]

The New York Knicks aren’t using Amar’e Stoudemire enough, or even correctly. This isn’t one of those “The Knicks need to start Stoudemire” rants. I, like most, understand that Carmelo Anthony is best at the power forward position and, therefore, Amar’e is best served coming off the bench. That said, there’s an issue with his [...]

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers have been the subject of more than their fair share of NBA conversation this season. But I never thought I’d see the day where someone would suggest the Lakers should simply waive Kobe Bryant under the amnesty clause, with nothing in return, to improve the team’s long term future .
