Did you know Derrick Rose has a crystal ball? Me either. Confidence isn’t something the Chicago Bulls point guard lacks. Not out in the open at least.

Ricky Rubio doesn’t hold grudges. After Kevin Love left one year before entering free agency, after he willed his way onto the now superstar-stuffed Cleveland Cavaliers roster, after he abandoned the Minnesota Timberwolves for the comfort that comes with playing beside LeBron James, Rubio could be angry. Infuriated. Outraged. He and Love were supposed to [...]

Carmelo Anthony fancies himself a trend-setter. During an interview with former New York Giants great Michael Strahan for Adweek, Anthony was asked whether LeBron James’ decision to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers influenced his return to the New York Knicks.

To no one’s surprise the spectacle was met with immeasurable fanfare and crazy-ass hype. The deal everyone had been waiting for to be officially done is finally done. Love is actually a [...]

Chill. Let’s all just chill. You, me, the person to your left, your right, the kid from your high school who used to play pocket billiards in the back of math class, the tighty-whitey-clad cowboy who plays acoustic guitar on the corner of busy streets and the guy behind me who smells of fetid cheese [...]
