The basketball Gods appear to hate the Boston Celtics. As if it’s not enough that both Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger are sidelined for the season, the Celtics will now be forced to go at least two weeks without Kevin Garnett. Per general manager Danny Ainge, the organization expects Garnett to be out of the [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t dunk anymore because, well, he apparently doesn’t have to. Or so he says. Per Chris Herring of The Wall Street Journal, less than two percent of Melo’s points come off dunks (a career low), and he’s okay with that: Anthony’s dunk marked just his 19th slam of the season. His 21 dunk [...]

Mark Cuban believes in Deron Williams and the Brooklyn Nets…said no one ever. Prior to Brooklyn’s 113-96 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, Big D’s owner was asked about Williams and the state of the Nets. When steered in the direction of admitting that the Nets weren’t contenders, yet still strapped for cash, [...]

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are inseparable. Until 2014 at least. Both LeBron and Wade are set to become free agents after next season (if they so please), and speculation has run rampant as to what James specifically will do next. Will he return to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Join forces with Dwight Howard and the [...]

Even before absconding to South Beach, LeBron James wasn’t always a beloved figure in Cleveland. Or should I say in the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room? Yeah, let’s go with that. Per Chris Tomasson of FOX Sports Florida, James was often chided (resented?) by his teammates upon coming into the league: Silas wouldn’t give any names. [...]

Serge Ibaka received an early (late?) Christmas gift from the NBA. Following an incident where Ibaka maliciously (yes, maliciously) struck Blake Griffin in the groin, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward was fined $25,000 for his actions and his Flagrant 1 was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for his [...]

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 [...]

Kansas University is set to retire the jersey of one of their most memorable guards. Chalmers will have his number 15 jersey retired as part of halftime proceedings at KU’s game against Texas, this Saturday. “[Mario] didn’t just love winning, he also loved everyone knowing how good he was”, said KU coach Bill Self in [...]

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 [...]
