LeBron James is not above pipe dreams. It’s been known for a while that he’s super close with Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade. Hell, he even forged a whole plan to play with Wade in Miami. Apparently, though, his time in Miami, alongside Wade, isn’t enough of a superstar buddy fix. He wants [...]

History is not destined to repeat itself in the NBA. Not this time. Or so it seems. Plenty of people have been worried about there being a potential NBA lockout in 2017, when both the owners and players have the right to opt out of their current.

Speculation surrounding Carmelo Anthony’s future with the New York Knicks has stopped. Just kidding. It hasn’t stopped. And it’s not going to stop.

All is not well with the Houston Rockets, who are battling for one of the Western Conference’s final three playoff spots and are staring down a make-or-break offseason. But there’s at least one silver lining. Dwight Howard apparently doesn’t despise James Harden’s existence. As the big man told USA Today‘s Sam Amick: This has led [...]

Blake Griffin is still nearing a return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Emphasis on still. Griffin hasn’t played since Christmas while dealing with a variety of injuries, including a fractured right hand he suffered after punching the team’s assistant equipment manager. Once he’s healthy, he’ll need to serve a four-game suspension before resuming his spot [...]

Even though they lost to the Charlotte Hornets last night, the San Antonio Spurs accomplished a pretty incredible and mind-boggling feat over the past week. And I’m not referring to holding the Golden State Warriors to only 79 points in a victory. With their win over the Blazers at home last Thursday night, they now [...]
