Lebron James

LeBron James knew who it was that didn’t vote for him as the NBA’s MVP, in a matter of speaking. He didn’t know specifically that it was Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe who voted for Carmelo Anthony, but when pressed about it, he said he had an idea that it was someone from “New [...]

Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers have entered unchartered territory. Never before has Howard, an unrestricted free agent, had the option of choosing where he will play. Not like this. Even when he forced his way out of Orlando, he wasn’t sent to his first destination of choice (Brooklyn Nets). For the Lakers, they’re [...]

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 [...]

Mike Brown returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers wouldn’t be as big a story as LaMarcus Aldridge being traded to them. No, I’m not penning just random thoughts (though I do sometimes). The Cavaliers have or had Aldridge on the brain at one point or another. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Cavaliers have fantasized [...]

Carmelo Anthony is overrated. He’s also a ball hog. Or at least, that’s the prevailing narrative coming from The Boston Globe. On Monday, more than 24 hours after the New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 85-78 in Game 1 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, The Boston Globe‘s Dan Shaughnessy had a [...]

Quick answer is ‘No’. Oh, I’m sorry. Let me ask the question first. Do the Cleveland Cavaliers have a shot at landing Phil Jackson? No. There we go. After firing Byron Scott, the Cavs are on the prowl for a new coach, a search that has led them to none other than the Zen Master [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly on the verge of firing head coach Byron Scott. Per Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio, while the Cavs haven’t made anything public, they’re prepared to show Scott the door: Within the past few days, sources around the league have told FOX Sports Ohio that Scott is about to be [...]

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. All players have that an inherent need for championship distinction, but we don’t empathize with the supposed need to win multiple rings. Everyone says that. They want, not need, as many [...]

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks aren’t done yet. They know they’ve clinched second place in the Eastern Conference. They know they’re facing the Boston Celtics in the first round. And they know they wouldn’t have to face LeBron James and the Miami Heat until the Conference Finals, should they make it that far. [...]

Everybody loves Kevin Durant. By “everybody,” I seriously mean (almost) everybody. Prior to the Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Warriors head coach Mark Jackson essentially called Durant a role model. Coach Mark Jackson: “When I look at Kevin Durant, you look at a guy you want to point your kids to [...]
