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 [...]

Raymond Felton got off to a hot start as PG for the Knicks who boasted the best record in the East during the early going of the season. But he has missed significant time of late due to a broken finger. In his absence Jason Kidd assumed most of the ball handling responsibilities. But it [...]

It’s official. The NBA’s New Orleans franchise will have the silliest team nickname in the history of sports. The Hornets will become the Pelicans. The pelican is the official state bird of Louisiana, but that still doesn’t make it right. Doesn’t sound very intimidating to say “the tough Pelicans come to town tomorrow night.” This [...]

Kobe Bryant’s play lately has been atrocious. Specifically, his shooting percentage has been directly the cause for the Lakers last three losses. He is simply shooting the team out of games by himself as his teammates continue to put in solid performances on very limited touches. So, it is for that reason that I’m not [...]
