Look into the New York Knicks’ future. Do you see Kevin Durant? If you do, holla at me. I’d like to know. It seems the Knicks may be plotting a Durant chase in 2016, according to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Knicks coaching candidate Derek Fisher may not only turn out to be a [...]

On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How?

Three cheers, eight fist-pumps and infinite twerks for movement. The NBA is rife with movement this week. Goliaths fell, Davids ascended and the enfeebled experienced success.
