Metta World Peace is a confident man. Maybe too confident. Maybe delusional. The 35-year-old hasn’t played in the NBA since 2013-14, and though he’s interested in returning to the Association, potentially with the Los Angeles Lakers, the odds are against him making any sort of substantive impact for any kind of team—unless, of course, you [...]

Eric Gordon’s feelings about the New Orleans Pelicans have changed. It was the summer of 2012, and Gordon, after spending a year in New Orleans following the Chris Paul trade, signed a max offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns in restricted free agency. Knowing the Pelicans (then the Hornets), could match that contract, he publicly [...]

C.J. McCollum knows it’s go time. Entering his third NBA season, McCollum now needs to make the transition from developing complementary piece to key building block as the Portland Trail Blazers look to rebound and regroup after a franchise-altering offseason in which 80 percent of last year’s starting lineup journeyed elsewhere, by way of trade [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t seem as if he’s in the good graces of Colin Cowherd. On Tuesday’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Fox Sports’ newest talking head had something unflattering to say about the New York Knicks superst—er, I mean, the New York Knicks forward, because Cowherd clearly isn’t OK with calling Melo a superstar: "He's [...]

Ty Lawson, controversial Instagram commenter, is at it again. Lawson posted an Instagram photo of himself, as he is wont to do. Some, or at least one, commenters began taking totally unrelated shots at him, as Instagram commenters are wont to do. Lawson then responded to one comment, as he is semi-wont to do. And [...]

Kobe Bryant’s 20th NBA season will begin without delay. Most likely. Rotator cuff surgery in January ended up sidelining the Los Angeles Lakers great for the rest of 2014-15, limiting him to just 35 appearances overall. At the time of his surgery, January 28, the recovery process was supposed to take roughly nine months. If [...]

DeAndre Jordan used Snapchat to get the ball rolling on his return to the Los Angeles Clippers, because of course he freaking did. Talking to Sports Illustrated‘s Justin Barraso, Doc Rivers proved to be chock full of interesting anecdotes. One such story included DJ snapchatting Rivers’ son—not Austin, but Spencer—after agreeing to sign with the [...]

Remember before, when we decided Pat Riley was an optimist after he called the Miami Heat a championship team? Well, Los Angeles Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell has his level glass half full-ness beat. During an interview with Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders, the dual guard essentially guaranteed that the Lakers would make the playoffs next [...]

Metta World Peace and Kobe Bryant are together again. Almost. According to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, the 35-year-old MWP, who hasn’t played in the NBA since 2013-14, looks to be nearing a return to the Los Angeles Lakers: Yahoo Sources: Metta World Peace has begun to work out daily at Lakers’ facility, inching closer to [...]

Pat Riley is an optimist. For this summer at least. Good ol’ Riles isn’t one to sugarcoat his opinion. He tells shit like it is, just as he did after the Miami Heat’s 2014 NBA Finals loss to the San Antonio Spurs, delivering a purposeful, albeit subspoken, message to his Big Three, the entirety of [...]
