Sheesh. Kobe Bryant, who is recovering from a ruptured Achilles injury suffered last April, headed to Germany for another round of platelet-rich plasma therapy on his right knee, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski. Per Mark Medina of the Los Angeles Daily News, the procedure in question has nothing to with his Achilles injury and [...]

Dwight Howard is the king of free throws. Blind free throws, that is. Superman challenged Houston Rockets teammate James Harden to a blind free-throw shooting contest according to a report from the Houston Chronicle and brought to us by ESPN.com. Howard apparently defeated Harden, hitting on 8-of-10 from the line with his eyes closed. “I [...]

A 37-year-old Kevin Garnett has still got it. Age won’t extinguish the competitive fire he has left, and it most certainly won’t deter him from being honest. That’s not how it was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, that’s not how it was with the Boston Celtics and that most certainly isn’t going to be how it [...]

No one tell Pau Gasol what the Los Angeles Lakers’ real plans (probably) are after this season. Why? Because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. According to the Los Angeles Times’ Mike Bresnahan, the fluffy-haired Spaniard would love the opportunity to re-sign with the Lakers this coming summer: “It’s nice to be here in [...]

Forget about who Michael Jordan thinks he can beat in a game of one-on-one. Let’s talk about who Blake Griffin wants to see play one-on-one. Asked during an interview with Bleacher Report which three sets of players he would like to see go head-to-head, Griffin’s matchups included a LeBron James-Kevin Durant showdown, a battle of [...]

With Earvin “Magic” Johnson making more headlines in his post-basketball career, this time for combating the dropout rate among high school students, it is a testament to his successes as a philanthropist, activist, and businessman he’s become. Starting his professional career as a bright-eyed, big-smile kid from Lansing, Michigan, few could have pictured the impact [...]

Carmelo Anthony is, well, confusing. The New York Knicks forward has long been criticized for just about everything he does—shooting, defending, shooting, a lack of passing, shooting, his capacity to lead, shooting, his playoff record and shooting. I’ve personally never had a problem with his style of play. Should he pass out of double teams [...]

Ummmmmmmm, ok then. Lots of things don’t make sense to me. Like how they get the little “m” on M&M’s. Or Dwyane Wade’s fashion choices. Or anything Metta World Peace has ever said. Then there’s the things that both make no sense and seem equally stupid. Like One Direction concerts. Or any decision the Charlotte [...]

Kobe Bryant must never change. Seriously, he can’t. Chills, the bad kind, are sent down my spine when I think of how much more mundane topics of conversation would be if he changed. Or stopped talking altogether. Case in point: Los Angeles Lakers media day. It was a glorious occasion, one that wasn’t as filled [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]
