In sports, there’s nothing better than having a great game against the team that traded you away. Last night, the Rockets played host to the OKC Thunder and James Harden lost his mind. He finished with a career high and overshadowed Kevin Durant’s second career triple double. James Harden scored a career-high 46 points and [...]

Thomas Robinson was high a top almost all of the NBA Mock Draft boards last year. So its not a surprise that Rockets fans are jumping out of their seats with joy tonight as word spreads that the Rockets have acquired Robinson in a three team deal before the deadline. The Houston Rockets have reached [...]

  Dave White was recently tapped by Jordan Brand once again to work on a special edition sneaker; this time around he is working on Carmelo Anthony’s current signature shoe the Jordan Melo M9.

The lack of chemistry is glaringly hard to miss. The Lakers have witnessed regressive communications between their two most talented players, and it doesn’t seem to getting any better. Bryant has always been known to challenge people, Howard is learning that. The Lakers guard has also found his all star teammate to be too friendly, not [...]

As if the Kobe Bryant/Dwight Howard dynamic needs another wrinkle, now this. Apparently, during all-star weekend in Houston, Dwight mocked Kobe behind his back to other members of the West squad. I’m not sure there’s much to this because Dwight is Dwight and he routinely does stuff like this, but given their somewhat rocky tenure [...]

Kobe Bryant kneels to no one, including Dwight Howard. At a time when the Los Angeles Lakers truthfully have no idea what Howard will do when he hits unrestricted free agency this summer, I hope their counting on Kobe to do anything other than sell Howard on remaining in Tinseltown. Speaking from the NBA All-Star [...]
