Lance Stephenson

Lance Stephenson knows the 2015-16 Los Angeles Clippers are going to be better than any version of the Indiana Pacers he was a part of. This isn’t a difficult concept, of course. The Clippers have a crap ton of talent on their hands: three legitimate stars in Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan; an [...]

Lance Stephenson knows the rumors. He’s heard them. He’s read them. He knows a good chunk of the outside world believes he’s a locker room cancer, this player who, while talented, is a wild card on the court and liability off it. Now a member of the Los Angeles Clippers, he wants those rumors to [...]

Lance Stephenson signed with the Charlotte Hornets in July 2014, joining Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson on a potentially dangerous team. The franchise had recently earned its first postseason berth since 2010, only the second appearance in 10 years. Charlotte appeared to need a single piece in order to solidify itself as a perennial playoff [...]

Lance Stephenson is having a bad season. Real bad. The Hornets went from low-end playoff team to a top-five Eastern Conference squad upon signing him. He made their defense stronger, and their offense more potent. It was a great signing. Yet the results have said otherwise. Injuries to Kemba Walker, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Al Jefferson and [...]

Now that Dec. 15 has come to pass and NBA free agents who signed contracts over the summer can be traded, the Hornets are ready to move Stephenson, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: [...]

But the Hornets look like the Bobcats, and it’s forced them to scour the trade market for reinforcements, according to Grantland’s Zach Lowe: The Hornets have been [...]

Rappers want to be ballers and basketball players want to spit raps. With the two subcultures so closely intertwined it isn’t unusual to see crossover with stars in each lane. If you’ve seen the Lance Stephenson music video to the three verses he rapped over the overwhelmingly popular Bobby Shmurda ‘Hot N****’ track then you [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

As much as we all know Lance Stephenson for his unorthodox and clown-ish style of play — we witnessed possibly and arguably his best career highlight in the Hornets thrilling 122-119 victory against the visiting Atlanta Hawks last night. It was a neck-and-neck game throughout, and it stayed that way right to the final buzzer. [...]

‘Tis the season for NBA contract extensions. Not every fourth-year player will get one, but the ones who do will be ecstatic. Like Kemba Walker of the Charlotte Hornets. According to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein, the Hornets and Walker have agreed upon a four-year extension worth $48 million: The Charlotte Hornets have reached terms on a [...]
