The two apparently hashed stuff out, but the exchange was bizarre—hardly indicative of [...]

Phil Jackson is many things. “A great basketball mind” is definitely one of them. Perhaps, so is “very tough to deal with.” We can’t deny his accomplishments, but, as rumor has it, the guy can sometimes be insufferable.

Carmelo Anthony isn’t digging the Kristaps Porzingis craze that’s sweeping New York and the rest of the world. Who knew he was such a party pooper? From the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: “There’s still a learning curve for him,” Anthony said. “Last year, nobody knew what to expect — all new to everybody. This [...]

A lot of hype was made of this year’s Team USA Basketball Olympic team—even some experts, like ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, questioned whether or not the United States should even send our pro basketball players to the Olympics anymore. But, how good was the 2016 USA Basketball team anyway? How does the 2016 Olympic team [...]

Carmelo Anthony potentially threw some shade at his former teammate Jeremy Lin and his cross town rivals in Brooklyn on Friday. [tweet https://twitter.com/NYPost_Berman/status/784483923178946560] Here is the specific quote Melo gave to New York Post Reporter Marc Berman leading up to the the Knicks preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets: “He is the face of their [...]
