Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks aren’t done yet. They know they’ve clinched second place in the Eastern Conference. They know they’re facing the Boston Celtics in the first round. And they know they wouldn’t have to face LeBron James and the Miami Heat until the Conference Finals, should they make it that far. [...]

Dwyane Wade broke Kobe Bryant’s nose at the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, but he has no intention of breaking the Black Mamba’s spirits.

Kevin Martin wants to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but money talks, and there may not be enough cash ‘speaking’ for him to remain next to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

Frank Isola of the New York Daily News first reported that the Knicks were interested in the 31-year-old Singleton, who has spent five seasons in the league with three different teams.

Pau Gasol has a friend in Kobe Bryant. A good one. A mere few days removed from essentially calling himself and Pau an unstoppable offensive duo, Kobe took his support of the seven footer up a notch.
