Featuring uniform-matching colorblocking for the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks, this trio of new adidas Crazy 8 colorways also has a printed design unique to each city. Upper materials are also [...]

Nick Young and Byron Scott should probably consider couples therapy. The high-volume shooting guard and Los Angeles Lakers head coach seldom see eye to eye. The former is a freewheeling spirit, an easygoing goofball with an appreciation for shoes, smiling, contested jumpers and all things Iggy Azelea. The latter is an old school head honcho, [...]

Here we go again. For the umpteenth time. Rajon Rondo and the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked to one another for a while now. The former is going to be an unrestricted free agent; the latter is in the market for superstars who can both get along with Kobe Bryant and usher in the [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder.

This week Los Angles Times’ Jim Peltz relayed Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant’s message that “There was never a question for me whether or not I was going to play next year.” Here are 24 reasons he might want to think twice. 24 was how old Kobe Bryant was when he played a career-high [...]

Looking to identity and subsequently acquire what’s missing in your life? You’ve come to the right place. NBA power rankings are here. Before we begin, there is one housekeeping note: What follows is not the direct result of records alone. There will be lottery teams ranked higher than playoff teams and everything in between. Power [...]

Kobe Bryant and Mitch Kupchak are on the same page. It’s just not the page you think. All along it’s been assumed the Los Angeles Lakers would be rabid free-agency players this summer, trying to make the most of Kobe’s fast-fading twilight by throwing money every which way at players of note. While they’ll still [...]

Thou shall fear no evil, because the NBA power rankings are here to save the day. It’s been forever since we last saw each other. Like, a whole week or something. A lot has happened since then. The Warriors are clearly tanking, trying to avoid a first-round dance with the Thunder; the Nuggets fired Brian [...]
