Stephen A. Smith is at it again. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Smith spoke of a potential blockbuster that could eventually go down between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers. And I’m not even sure “blockbuster” does it justice. The deal in question would have both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett being sent to [...]
Carmelo Anthony wants the New York Knicks to exact revenge on the Boston Celtics. Badly. In 2011, Boston swept New York in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Two years later, the Knicks have the opportunity to return the favor. And Carmelo Anthony is excited. Strike that, he’s more than excited. He’s “super-duper-happy-excited” about [...]

What else could the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade, a two-time NBA champion, perennial All-Star and eventual first-ballot Hall of Famer need? A third title.

Kobe Bryant would have won championships without Shaquille O’Neal and the Los Angeles Lakers. Or at least, that’s what the Black Mamba believes. As the Lakers prepare to retire Shaq’s jersey, Kobe has revealed a personal respect for his former teammate and arch nemesis. The feud is essentially behind both players.

The Miami Heat are scary. Yes, their 27-game winning streak is impressive and their roster instills fear in the most unconcerned of NBA teams, but that’s not why they’re scary. They’re scary because they’ve apparently yet to peak. Following their win over the Orlando Magic, a number of Heat players told Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld [...]

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are inseparable. Until 2014 at least. Both LeBron and Wade are set to become free agents after next season (if they so please), and speculation has run rampant as to what James specifically will do next. Will he return to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Join forces with Dwight Howard and the [...]

Carmelo Anthony isn’t the toughest of NBA players, and the New York Knicks certainly aren’t the most honest of franchises, but there’s no reason to believe either side is lying. After having his knee drained of fluid, Melo said that the buildup was related to a hamstring injury, which Mitch Lawrence of the New York [...]
