Last week, the all-star starters were announced and there wasn’t much argument there. But last night, the reserves were named which always causes the “snub” discussion. There were no doubt some snubs, but the ones who did make it are deserving as well. Guys like Steph Curry lead the snub list for sure. In the [...]

The Toronto Raptors are having another awful season so far. Their record is abysmal, their star attraction, Kyle Lowry (acquired in the off season), has found it difficult to stay healthy this year, and Bargnani hasn’t been seen on the court for what feels like ages. Despite all of that, it’s hard to not be excited about this [...]

While the New York Knicks were playing a regular season game in London against the Detroit Pistons, Carmelo Anthony took full advantage of the time overseas by meeting with artist Dave White to talk about an upcoming collaboration between the two of them on the Jordan Melo M9 sneaker. During the trip to England, Anthony [...]

The importance of having a team in a major market can’t be understated. Not only does it help the appeal of the individual players on the rosters, but the teams are generally worth more as well. Therefore, it’s no secret that the Knicks and Lakers are the two most valuable NBA franchises, according to Forbes. [...]

Ricky Rubio is fresh back from a major knee injury and the T’Wolves are watching his minutes while he gets all the way back. But since he’s a competitor, Rubio isn’t on board with the minutes limit. He was actually benched last night in a game where Minnesota decided to go with JJ Barea down [...]

Delonte West is chock full of baggage, but I remain surprised that he has not found a new home in the NBA. Since unceremoniously departing from the Dallas Mavericks, West really hasn’t been linked heavily to any teams. The Los Angeles Lakers toiled with signing him for awhile, but ultimately passed. Aside from them, that’s [...]

Whenever an athlete steps out of their comfort zone and ventures into the world of acting, it’s always something interesting to watch in order to see how they adapt to a new environment.  Corey Brewer of the Denver Nuggets fits this scenario perfectly, as he has made his acting debut in “Movie 43”, which will [...]

Ray Allen remains one of the NBA’s best shooters, but we may not get the opportunity to bear witness to such talents for much longer. Though the 37-year-old Allen signed a three-year pact with the Miami Heat, the next two are both player options. Contracts never prevent players from retiring in the first place, but [...]

It has now gotten to the point in L.A. where guys are now complaining about shots. Namely, Dwight Howard. Mike D’Anoni’s style has alienated certain big guys on team, such as Pau Gasol. Perhaps Dwight feels the same way since he voiced his displeasure about his touches following the Lakers’ most recent loss. However, he [...]

Pau Gasol’s acceptance of reality is the key to everything for Dwight Howard and the Los Angles Lakers. Though everyone and their mother wants Los Angeles to blow it up by admitting defeat and trading either Gasol or Howard, there is still time salvage what’s left of this blueprint and this season. But only if [...]
