Despite what coach Kevin McHale repeatedly indicated, Asik and Howard could not share the floor together. Doing so would dictate that Howard play power forward. Or, [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Andrea Bargnani—they’re supposed to be the core of a championship hopeful. Yet talk keeps shifting to the future, like the Knicks [...]

The NBA was close to losing Kevin Garnett.

Half of Jay Z’s Brooklyn Nets ownership stake will now rest in the hands of head coach Jason Kidd. The New York Post reported that Kidd would be purchasing the entire 0.67 percent of the team Jay Z owns for a cool $500,000: Jay Z is selling his minority ownership in the Brookyn Nets to [...]
