Miami

Perennially unhappy big man Hassan Whiteside has gained some clarity on his role and future with the Miami Heat. Again. For what seems like the jillionth time. Speaking with reporters on a conference call in support of the NBA’s game in Africa, Whiteside said that he met with both head coach Erik Spoelstra and team [...]

The 2017-18 season has not gone as Hassan Whiteside would have hoped. After averaging 17.0 points and an NBA-leading 14.1 rebounds per game in 2016-17 in 32.6 minutes per game, Whiteside’s health, productiveness, effort and ultimately minutes have all gone down this season and it has led to much frustration with Whiteside and the team.

Who says throwback posts are only for Thursdays? During a recent appearance on The Bill Simmons podcast, Chris Bosh talked about why himself, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade chose to join forces with the Miami Heat rather than the New York Knicks. Here are his comments, via The Athletic’s Mike Vorkunov: [tweet https://twitter.com/MikeVorkunov/status/975844897474465792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhoopshype.com%2Frumors%2F] This is fantastic.

Remember how we said to know better than to expect the LeBron James-Enes Kanter beef to fade off into the sunset, or at least until the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks meet again in April? Well, this is us, basking in the told-you-so waters. One night after trolling LeBron for his first career ejection, [...]

So that’s why Chris Bosh made it a point to talk about hooping again. On the heels of Bosh using Snapchat to declare that he’s playing basketball, suggesting that he’s on track to return to the court for the Miami Heat after missing the latter halves of each of the last two seasons, we now [...]

Hassan Whiteside is back in the Miami Heat’s starting lineup. The big man made his return to the starting five for the first time since Jan. 20 in the Heat’s Sunday night drubbing of the Orlando Magic. And, per Manny Navvaro of the Miami Herald, the change is expected to be a permanent one: He [...]

Sure, LeBron’s no longer there and the luster isn’t quite what it used to be, but Pat Riley has managed to salvage what was left behind by LeBron’s departure and formed another formidable team in Miami. On paper, the starting lineup sounds pretty legit and they are getting a healthy Chris Bosh back. Not only [...]

FILA is an example of a 1990s athletic sneaker company that has a deep basketball pedigree. With Retro kicks from that era of the NBA being more popular than ever it makes sense for FILA to draw up new colorways of their classic FILA KJ7 model. Inspired by the city of Miami and the associated [...]

This is just awesome. In case there was a question of if Michael Jordan is still balling we see here with MJ partaking in a little day drinking by playing beer pong. Over at the Coconut Grove Ritz-Carlton in Miami this past weekend, MJ was seen getting enjoying a game of pong as well as [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers are 1-4, their worst start since the 1993-94 NBA campaign, a season in which they finished 33-49. So, naturally, it’s time to panic. Except that it’s not. Yes, the Lakers are off to a horrid start. Yes, there are plenty of offensive problems to be corrected. And yes, Kobe Bryant isn’t [...]
