Dirk has quietly been putting together a renaissance season at the age of 37 and like a fine wine he shot seems to get better with age (unlike another certain NBA superstar of Dirk’s era who is nicknamed Vino…). Through 19 games of the 2015-16 NBA season, Dirk is shooting 50.4% from the field, 44.6% [...]

Back in 2007, two years removed from his divorce with Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant wasn’t happy with the Los Angeles Lakers and demanded a trade. That much is common knowledge. It’s been talked about and re-spun three times over for nearly a decade, and it’s bound to be rehashed now that the Black Mamba plans [...]

Before entering the NBA, New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. OK, no he didn’t. But you get the point. Porzingis has endeared himself to fans and pundits, even those outside of New York. Deemed a years-long project on draft night, the 20-year-old Latvian product is far more polished [...]

It has not been a good week for Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor. And, in the most affectionate way possible, Duke head honcho Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t care. The Sixers suspended Okafor on Wednesday for two games after TMZ posted yet another video of him fighting with alleged hecklers in Boston. Here’s the statement they released, [...]

Brandon Jennings is making progress toward a return from the Achilles tear he suffered last season. His return just isn’t imminent. Detroit Pistons head coach and president Stan Van Gundy offered up the following cryptic timeline for Jennings’ ongoing recovery, per USA Today‘s Jeff Zillgitt: Return for Pistons G Brandon Jennings not imminent, Stan Van [...]

Rudy Gobert won’t be swallowing shots at the rim for the Utah Jazz for a while. Make the appropriate sad faces whenever you please. The news came swiftly and unexpected Wednesday night, with the Jazz releasing a statement that outlined the indeterminable terms of Gobert’s absence: After sustaining a left knee injury during today’s practice [...]

If Kobe Bryant had gotten his way in 2011, Carmelo Anthony would now be a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, not the New York Knicks. This, of course, assumes that the two stars would have coexisted together this long. There’s only one ball allowed on the floor at a time, you know. The offensive [...]

All is not well with the Sacramento Kings. Things are just better than we thought. At 7-12, with one of the five worst records in the Western Conference, the Kings don’t have any reason to celebrate. They’re on pace to win 30 games for the first time during the DeMarcus Cousins era. That’s it, and [...]

Nikola Pekovic believes that his day with the Minnesota Timberwolves will come once again. Forgive us if we don’t share those sentiments. Pekovic has yet to play this season as he recovers from Achilles tendon surgery, and he’s appeared in just 85 games over the last three campaigns. Now, apparently, he’s nearing a return—one that [...]

Anthony Davis has had enough of the New Orleans Pelicans playing the part of unlikely bottom-feeder. Entering the 2015-16 regular season, the Pelicans were considered playoff locks. They wouldn’t be a top-four Western Conference team, but they would appear in the postseason, perhaps as a No. 6 or No. 7 seed. Alvin Gentry’s offense would [...]
