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. This opens up a whole new revenue stream for NBA franchises and the league and could generate anywhere from $4 million to $6 [...]

Any New York Knicks fans holding out hope that Kevin Durant will consider signing with the team in free agency this summer should, um, you know, stop. It’s not going to happen. Durant, in fact, apparently won’t even consider it, according to the New York Daily News’ Stefan Bondy: Kevin Durant is the top free [...]

One game, one measly game, versus the Utah Jazz, on Wednesday night. This is all that’s left of Kobe Bryant’s NBA career. One game. One stinking game. And while it’s unlikely that the sinking Lakers upend a Jazz team that will be desperately trying to save its playoff life, head coach Byron Scott wants to [...]

Heads will roll once the Washington Wizards officially wrap up a disastrous 2015-16 season. And it looks like head coach Randy Wittman will be the first form of collateral damage. 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 [...]

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. On the heels of Golden State’s Sunday night win over the San Antonio Spurs, Draymond Green revealed that Michael Jordan, now the owner of the [...]

Sam Hinkie’s departure from the Philadelphia 76ers was…unconventional. It was a slow, painful, gradual grind to the end, with the Sixers ostensibly stripping Sam Hinkie of his absolute power by installing Jerry Colangelo in the front office to help oversee the rebuild. After months of working under those conditions, Hinkie walked, leaving behind a 13-page [...]

If it were up to Steve Kerr, the Golden State Warriors wouldn’t be chasing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls record of 72 victories. Not anymore, at least. Following a thorough drubbing of the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night, the Warriors have now locked up first place in the Western Conference, clinching home-court advantage through the [...]

4, that is the number of games left in the legendary career of Kobe Bryant. Kobe has been a mainstay and possibly the most divisive player in the NBA almost since his arrival in 1996. You either love him or hate him. These last few seasons haven’t been the “riding off into the sunset” that [...]
