Don’t sweat it, Minnesota Timberwolves fans. Andrew Wiggins has got this. Simply knowing where he’s going to begin his NBA career has done wonders for the rookie’s confidence apparently. While speaking with media members on this upcoming season, the No. 1 overall pick—who the Cleveland Cavaliers used as bait to land Kevin Love—said he was [...]

Truckloads of money cannot quell the winner inside New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony. We’re talking strictly games, to be sure. He hasn’t won anything at the NBA level, other than some games, a handful of playoff series, a scoring title and the dishonor of being the player most likely to be whacked in the [...]

Michael Beasley and the San Antonio Spurs? Yes, Please. According to Yahoo Sports’ all-powerfull and almighty Adrian Wojnarowski, the Spurs intend to work out Beasley, who still hasn’t found a new home this summer: Free-agent forward Michael Beasley is working out for the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs at the franchise’s practice facility this [...]

Playing for the Denver Nuggets must be a drag. Never mind the millions of dollars you’re being paid. Or the beautiful views. Or the up-and-coming, free-spirited, young-at-heart atmosphere that dominates the streets. It must plain suck being an NBA player in Denver who likes to have a good time. Well, really, it shouldn’t. For J.J. [...]

Oh, Dwight. All of us have our vices. Mine’s eating pizza rolls in excess. I diet—without portioning—week by week, rarely succumbing to candy and fast-food cravings. But then I’ll go out, or be up super late for some reason or another, and stuff myself silly with pepperoni pizza rolls whilst watching TV, sometimes falling asleep [...]

Ricky Rubio doesn’t hold grudges. After Kevin Love left one year before entering free agency, after he willed his way onto the now superstar-stuffed Cleveland Cavaliers roster, after he abandoned the Minnesota Timberwolves for the comfort that comes with playing beside LeBron James, Rubio could be angry. Infuriated. Outraged. He and Love were supposed to [...]

Darkness, in the form of immense idleness, has set in over the NBA and basketball community at large. Any and all activity is basically suspended. For real. Summer league is long gone, training camps and preseason games remain a ways off and, now, following Team USA’s gold medal at the 2014 World Cup, there isn’t [...]

Carmelo Anthony knows a thing or two about free agency. After exploring the open market himself for the first time this past summer, Melo has a better understanding of how available players think and what goes into their decision-making process. And after general manager Danny Ferry and controlling owner Bruce Levenson were caught with their [...]

Paul George did a dumb thing. Yes, it was dumb. Very dumb. He took to Twitter with his thoughts on the Ray Rice and Janay Palmer situation. It’s a chilling debacle, one which should already know about. Rice punched his then-fiancee, now-wife and knocked her out cold. He was initially suspended two games, but then [...]

While bigoted NBA owners damage the NBA’s brand severely, a far more fundamental problem with how the NBA is played today is destroying the game from the inside. You know what it is before I even type it: the block/charge call, the most controversial call in basketball. I watched the game before and after this [...]
