Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni has a backup plan if his NBA gig is taken away from him. Or rather, he could. And he most definitely should. Sources told ESPN’s Jeff Goodman and Marc Stein the Marshall Thundering Herd, D’Antoni’s Alma Mater, reached out to him about becoming their next head coach: Marshall [...]

Put your trust in this week’s edition of NBA Power Rankings. With the regular season drawing to a  close, it’s really time to start putting things in perspective. Quite randomly, I stumbled upon the idea to develop an unpolished trust meter for every team, good and bad, tanker and contender, the Philadelphia 76ers and San [...]

Nothing beats that awkward moment when you realize the New York Knicks are still in the playoff race. I’m kidding. Save for their massive letdown against the Kyrie Irving-less Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks have been playing some nice ball of late—so much so, that we can mention “NBA playoffs” and “the Knicks” in the same [...]

March Madness, here the NBA comes. While many of you remain transfixed on your television screens, waiting to see how long it takes before Wichita State gets screwed by vengeful and begrudging bracketing practices, some of us still care about the NBA. And its playoff race. And whether or not LeBron James can win another [...]

Meet Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and resident broken record. While Cuban is prone to repeating himself, it’s not all his doing. He’s asked the same questions over and over and over and over again, Groundhog Day-style. It’s never, “How do you feel about bowl haircuts?” or “Are you supplied with unlimited cheese [...]

If Kobe Bryant’s will be done, then Mike D’Antoni’s tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers will soon be over. According to the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney, Bryant wants the Lakers to hire a new coach before next season: ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith reported on Wednesday morning that he had heard D’Antoni would be out, and [...]

Three cheers, eight fist-pumps and infinite twerks for movement. The NBA is rife with movement this week. Goliaths fell, Davids ascended and the enfeebled experienced success. Translation: It’s been weird in the NBA lately. (Spoiler alert.) (Seriously.) (Don’t read what comes next if you don’t want to ruin the below contents.) (I’m not joking.) (Okay, [...]

Shaquille O’Neal has more iPhones than you, and maybe even some Apple retail carriers. During an interview with USA Today‘s Jefferson Graham that is bound to change your life, Shaq revealed that he purchases 50 iPhones whenever a new one comes out…or something like that. That only seems excessive because you’re ignorant. Shaq has plenty [...]

The NBA’s Eastern Conference is good, man. Just kidding. It’s awful. All kinds of awful. The most awfullest thing ever. Picture the worst meal you’ve ever ate. Then envision yourself eating said meal alongside your most insufferable ex. And then imagine what it would feel like if that meal and rendezvous took place in the [...]

This is why we love Phil Jackson. The Zen Master is honest, sometimes to a point of comedic relief. Unless he’s talking about the Detroit Pistons, of course, who I firmly believe he’s hoping will provide him with a long-awaited front office debut. When it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers, though, Jackson is an [...]
