During Kobe Bryant’s final game, the Black Mamba had the kind of night that put certain thoughts in the back of your head. Maybe he isn’t done. Maybe he’ll retire from the NBA, only to ride again soon in a year or two, still a shell of his former self, but still able to have [...]

If Golden State Warriors assistant coach Luke Walton has his way, his boss, Steve Kerr, will win the NBA’s Coach of the Year award. Related: He might get his way. Per The Vertical’s Michael Lee: [tweet https://twitter.com/MrMichaelLee/status/720039951769808896] Kerr was credited with all of “Walton’s wins” during the time he spent recovering from complications that arose [...]

According to ESPN reporters Brian Windhorst and Darren Rovell, the NBA is expected to vote in favor of allowing NBA teams to have advertisements on their jerseys starting in the 2017-18 season.

Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com made an appearance on ESPN 980’s The Tony Kornheiser Show (h/t CBS Sports’ James Herbert), during which he painted Wittman’s exit [...]

With the New York Knicks’ 2015-16 regular season winding down, Carmelo Anthony has been given many opportunities to distance himself from the organization’s rebuilding process—to provide a shadow of a doubt that he wishes to remain in the Big Apple. He hasn’t seized any of those opportunities. And that didn’t change following the Knicks’ loss [...]

Think Michael Jordan would be salty about the idea of the Golden State Warriors tying and then breaking the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 regular season victories? Think again.
