A 37-year-old Kevin Garnett has still got it. Age won’t extinguish the competitive fire he has left, and it most certainly won’t deter him from being honest. That’s not how it was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, that’s not how it was with the Boston Celtics and that most certainly isn’t going to be how it [...]

New Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets Jason Kidd recently joked with Carmelo Anthony during a 9-11 dedication about changing uniforms.

Where is the love? The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks do not like each other. More specifically, Paul Pierce does not like the Knicks, and J.R. Smith doesn’t like the Nets. Those two have been fueling this rivalry since the Boston Celtics helped make Brooklyn a legitimate title contender. Both parties have gone back [...]

The NBA was close to losing Kevin Garnett. Nearly two decades deep into his career, the 37-year-old had plans to call it quits if he wasn’t playing under one non-negotiable condition: next to Paul Pierce. During a recent interview with China’s Sinas Sports (via Celtics Life) Garnett said he would have retired if he hadn’t [...]

Jason Kidd is setting the bar high for Deron Williams. The 2013-14 NBA season hasn’t even started, and already the Brooklyn Nets’ head coach is expecting the world of his All-Star point guard. While signing autographs, the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy (h/t ProBasketballTalk) writes that Kidd said he wants Williams averaging at least [...]

Iman Shumpert is going to let the New York Knicks’ play do the talking. Newly crowned member of the Brooklyn Nets Paul Pierce has a personal vendetta he is seeking to carry about against the Knicks.
