As MSG completes a $1 billion dollar renovation, it seems odd that only 1 NBA All-Star Game ever took place there (in 1998), while the New York Knicks have made 5 NBA Finals. Honorable Mention: Bernard King’s 60, Amar’e Stoudemire’s 41, Carmelo Anthony’s 41, Kyrie Irving’s 41, Jeremy Lin’s 38 [...]
Kyrie Irving will be out 3-4 weeks with his latest shoulder injury and thus we continue to bear witness to the NBA’s version of the “Curse of Madden.” You know the curse I’m referring to, where any player who appears on the latest edition of the Madden video game franchise cover seems destined for excessive [...]

When it comes to Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers can’t be too careful. All of 20 years old, Irving appears fated to be a top five player in the NBA at some point. Already, he’s one of just four players in the league averaging at least 20 points and fives assists per game while shooting [...]

In an upcoming auction, LeBron James further personalizes a pair of the Nike LeBron X that he already wrote on before a game this past December. This is the same pair that LeBron laced up with the Miami Heat to play the Washington Wizards just days after the Newtown Elementary School shooting news broke. Taking [...]

Carmelo Anthony’s latest injury is both serious and not-so-serious. The New York Knicks’ star forward left Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a bruised right knee and did not return. Though he himself asserted that it wasn’t serious at all, any bump or bruise New York’s leading scorer suffers is cause for major [...]

It’s the year of LeBron James. Frankly, that’s probably underselling. It’s the decade of LeBron James. He’s the statistical equivalent to the holy grail, practically mythologized by his all-too-real stats. James is an unstoppable force on offense. The 27.3 points per game are impressive, but that figure is merely a canvas. The picture starts to [...]

All this talk of LeBron James spurning the Miami Heat in 2014 for the Cleveland Cavaliers is slightly mystifying. The thought of LeBron playing alongside Kyrie Irving is enough to make even the most betrayed of Cavaliers fans forgive and forget, but what they should really forget about is the prospect of luring James back [...]

In the first quarter of Miami’s win against Charlotte last night, LeBron James utilized a classic post move. He took to the left block, established undeniable position, and scored on his man with a high left hand hook off glass. It was efficient, nostalgia-inducing (clearly taking away from his work with Olajuwan). It was also [...]

When Michael Drysch, a computer technician by trade, hit a half-court shot during the intermission of a Heat/Pistons game, there was elation. By now, the sight of the 50 year old getting tackle-hugged by an excited LeBron James has gone viral. That hook shot helped Drysch to $75,000, part of which would also be donated [...]
