Dwight Howard

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. I repeat: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. Phew, that was a close one. I, like you, was worried there for a minute. The source of our anxiety was ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who penned a solid column on how the two [...]

Mike D’Antoni has jokes. There wasn’t much to laugh about for the Los Angeles Lakers last season and after losing Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets, that’s sort of true today. Then, you know, there’s the whole Kobe Bryant still being injured thing. Reasons to smile aren’t exactly banging Los Angeles’ door down. Still, Magic [...]

In case Dwight Howard didn’t know, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have fans all around the globe. Think of it as an extended entourage. You mess with the Lakers or Kobe in the states, and you’ll inevitably feel the worldwide wrath. Superman officially knows what I’m talking about. His Houston Rockets journeyed to [...]

Magic Johnson is an optimist. Either that, or he’s completely delusional. Success is a way of life for the former Los Angeles Lakers great. Though he’s faced his share of adversity over the course of his life, triumph is just assumed. Winning isn’t just a verb for Magic; it’s a state of mind. He snagged [...]

Dwight Howard is the king of free throws. Blind free throws, that is. Superman challenged Houston Rockets teammate James Harden to a blind free-throw shooting contest according to a report from the Houston Chronicle and brought to us by ESPN.com. Howard apparently defeated Harden, hitting on 8-of-10 from the line with his eyes closed. “I [...]

Kobe Bryant must never change. Seriously, he can’t. Chills, the bad kind, are sent down my spine when I think of how much more mundane topics of conversation would be if he changed. Or stopped talking altogether. Case in point: Los Angeles Lakers media day. It was a glorious occasion, one that wasn’t as filled [...]

New Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets Jason Kidd recently joked with Carmelo Anthony during a 9-11 dedication about changing uniforms. All Kidd-ing aside, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant lead the list of the NBA’s free agents in the summer of 2014. Anthony’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Los Angeles [...]

The NBA offseason is annoying. Others may use other words to describe it, such as grueling, prolonged and evil. But I just find it annoying. Really, really, ridiculously annoying. Before I delve too deep into my pet peeve, there is some good news for Los Angeles Lakers fans: Steve Blake told Lakers.com’s Mike Trudell that [...]

General managers are rarely honest. Lying, deflecting and evading are (probably) in their job description. Nothing the NBA’s maneuvering minds say can be taken at face value—most of the time. On certain occasions, however, there are moments of clarity. Sometimes, they can be genuine and truthful. This is one of those times. Houston Rockets GM [...]

Brace yourself, there’s an Andrew Bogut-Andre Drummond comparison coming. Brandon Jennings has barely had any time to settle into his new digs with the Detroit Pistons, but that hasn’t stopped him from kissing some serious ass. Excuse me, I mean deservingly praising his teammates. After working out at the Pistons’ practice facility for the first [...]
