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 [...]

There isn’t anything about Milwaukee Bucks rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo that won’t leave your heart warm and fuzzy inside. Yes, this is me, writing sentimental mush, shamelessly enraptured by the charming man-child who is taking the NBA rookie class by storm. And I’m not sorry. Some players, you just appreciate. Some rookies are just different. Antetokounmpo [...]

Sorry, Mike Woodson. Despite Woodson still being in the New York Knicks’ employ, the team’s head coaching position has long been considered available. With Phil Jackson now running the show—or doing whatever it is he’ll actually be doing—that hasn’t changed. If Woodson is still haunting New York’s sidelines next season, it will likely be as [...]

Whoa. All we can say to this is, “Whoa.” Amid all this Phil Jackson and James Dolan business, some of us have forgotten about Carmelo Anthony’s impending free agency. Sort of. It’s been tabled, really. Anthony’s future cannot be dealt with until July, so there’s no use focusing on it now. More pressing things, such [...]

If Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck has his way, Rajon Rondo won’t be going anywhere. Speculation has run rampant with regards to Boston’s future. Trading Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce opened up the floodgates of conjecture. Would Rondo be next? Would the Celtics re-sign him? Would the point guard leave in free agency? Almost a [...]

Enough Phil Jackson talk. Let’s discuss Andrea Bargnani. You know Bargs. The bouncy-haired Italian who hasn’t played since Jan. 22. The one the New York Knicks gave up three draft picks, Steve Novak, Marcus Camby and Quentin Richardson for. Yeah, that Bargs. Well, according to Bleacher Report’s Howard Beck, Bargs is with the Knicks largely [...]

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 [...]
