Stop what you’re doing. Stop whatever you’re doing. Doesn’t matter if you’re cooking, rocking your baby to sleep or rescuing gaggles of talking seagulls from a burning building. Stop it. Stop all of it. You’ll want to take this in. Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant apparently worked out together. Gasp. Eric Pincus of BasketballInsiders.com was [...]

In the NBA’s never-ending, superstar-encompassing game of tag, James Harden is apparently it. During an interview with ESPN.com’s Scoop Jackson, the Houston Rockets and Team USA super stud dished on his ongoing development. The question and answer session is a pretty fun, informative read, so hop to it you consumers of digital media (CoDs for [...]

Kobe Bryant and Anthony Davis couldn’t seem more different off the court. One is a ruthless competitor, a vociferous murderer of rivals and rims, and championship-ring-bearing lunatic…in a good way.

Thank you, Phil Jackson. Thank you. The Zen Master has cleared up one of the most not-so-mysterious mysteries in the NBA: Dwight Howard did, in fact, leave the Los Angeles Lakers for the Houston Rockets because of Kobe Bryant. Mind-melting stuff, I know. We already knew, for the most part. But there’s something about Jackson [...]

The player with the best-selling jersey in the NBA became, once again, the most beloved player in the league, except, perhaps, in parts of Miami, where they’ve gone all Cleveland circa 2010. Once again, people are over-reacting to a man doing what he wants and has every right to do. James is a quality human being [...]

Kobe Bryant will see all the NBA free-agency rumors ever and raise you one Los Angeles Lakers coaching endorsement. Speaking at a press conference during his annual basketball camp in Santa Monica, the Black Mamba offered a ringing coaching endorsement on Byron Scott’s behalf, per ESPN Los Angeles’ Dave McMenamin: [tweet https://twitter.com/mcten/statuses/487012968966529025] [tweet https://twitter.com/mcten/statuses/487013217441304577] Scott [...]
