In case Dwight Howard didn’t know, Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers have fans all around the globe. Think of it as an extended entourage. You mess with the Lakers or Kobe in the states, and you’ll inevitably feel the worldwide wrath. Superman officially knows what I’m talking about. His Houston Rockets journeyed to [...]

Jason Kidd is a funny man. Even when he’s serious. Asked by reporters who Andrei Kirilenko’s skill set reminded him of, Kidd said LeBron James, according to ESPN New York’s Mike Mazzeo: I mean, LeBron James. And I’m not putting AK in [LeBron’s class in terms of talent], but when you talk about guys who [...]

Kids say the darndest things. And they ask the most damning questions, too. While at a community event, Kyrie Irving was asked by one young Cleveland Cavaliers fan if he intended to abandon the team like LeBron James did in 2010 (h/t ProBasketballTalk). “Are you going to leave us like LeBron left us?” the kid [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Following the Boston Celtics’ trade of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets, and Doc Rivers’ departure to the Los Angeles Clippers, there were a lot of questions surrounding the point guard’s future in Beantown. Was the team tanking and therefore, he on the [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire is associated with disappointment more than he is anything else. The six-time All-Star, who is averaging over 20 points and eight rebounds for his career, finds himself a roster liability and financial hindrance with the New York Knicks. This wasn’t how his tenure in the Big Apple was supposed to play out. And [...]

Take note, kids. Milk doesn’t build strong muscles; working out with LeBron James in the seventh circle of hell does. While filming a new Miami Heat introduction video for this upcoming regular season, LeBron can be seen working out under all sorts of ridiculous conditions. There’s fire, eery looking walls and, if you look really [...]

The NBA is supposed to be fun. A lot of people understand that. Others don’t. Those people, the overly serious and belligerently antagonistic ones, won’t want to see what follows. This mark’s the inception of The Hoop Doctor’s PG-13 NBA Power Rankings, where almost anything goes. Language may sometimes not be suitable for those reading at [...]

Magic Johnson is an optimist. Either that, or he’s completely delusional. Success is a way of life for the former Los Angeles Lakers great. Though he’s faced his share of adversity over the course of his life, triumph is just assumed. Winning isn’t just a verb for Magic; it’s a state of mind. He snagged [...]

Breathe easy NBA gurus, Vince Carter isn’t going anywhere. For now. Off-seasons are typically grueling. Most of the time—especially through the months of August and September—there’s nothing going on. For those of you like me, who need to catch up on some sleep, it’s nice. But only for awhile. A week or two into the [...]

Though not officially announced, Rajon Rondo will return from his injury this season not wearing kicks with a Swoosh on it, but leaving Nike for China-based brand ANTA. This doesn’t seem to be the only news coming from this overseas brand that already features a player roster that is only worn in the NBA by [...]
