Kobe Bryant wasn’t just born with a Nike (or adidas) sneaker endorsement. There was a period before his signature like with the Swoosh that the Black Mamba was trying footwear options out. This latest Huarache release brings back those memories. Add this ‘Lakers’ Air Flight Huarache to the list of (formerly) Player Exclusive sneakers never [...]

Despite being the #1 seed in the East, many aren’t picking the Hawks to win the Eastern Conference Finals vs. Cleveland. That general feeling was only strengthened yesterday when DeMarre Carroll went down in the fourth quarter with a left knee injury. But the good news for Hawks fans is that it wasn’t as bad [...]

Inspired by the unique carpeting at the airport in Portland, Oregon is this new D Lillard 1. Officially called the ‘PDX Carpet’ adidas D Lillard 1, this new colorway was affectionately named that after the former floor design inside PDX airport that has taken on a cult following (seriously search #PDXcarpet in your favorite social [...]

Bradley Beal is going to get paaaaaaaiiiiiid. Just not right now. After finishing up his third NBA season, the high-scoring shooting guard is eligible for an extension this summer. And though the Washington Wizards likely won’t offer one, they still intend to sign him to a max extension in 2016—you know, when they’re not-so-secret pursuit [...]

It was no single decision during the series, but it was a decision Doc Rivers made 5 months ago that probably cost the Clippers the Western Conference Finals.

Ping pong gods are no fan of the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson and company had so much riding on Tuesday’s night’s lottery. They entered with the second-best chance (19.9 percent) at winning the No. 1 overall pick, and they desperately needed a top-three finish to nab one of the immediate fortunes-turning prospects, be it [...]

For as much hype as the 2014 draft class received, the 2015 crop may be even deeper. But the Timberwolves won’t have to worry about that as they have won this year’s draft lottery. The Lakers moved up to two and the Knicks surprisingly fell to four. Here’s the full rundown, per SI 1. Minnesota [...]

Take what you’re about to read with, um, an open mind. Following their epic collapse against the Houston Rockets, the Los Angeles Clippers are entering a pivotal offseason, one that should see them make substantial changes, perhaps wholesale tweaks, to a core that, as of now, just isn’t good enough. Some of the changes that [...]

It’s safe to say that one of the key reasons for the Clippers’ shortcoming this postseason would be its shallow bench. This weakness was exposed during their series against the Spurs, and more recently against the Rockets. Without question, both the Spurs and Rockets took advantage of this, making life much more difficult for the [...]
