Carmelo Anthony is doing work. No, he isn’t playing. He’s still injured. And no, he isn’t on the sidelines cheering for his teammates. There isn’t much to cheer for these days. Plus, you know, he’s afraid of suffering another injury while watching court side. The kind of work he’s doing is happening behind the scenes, [...]

Derrick Rose recently returned to contact drills in practice and his return could be soon. At least, Tom Thibodeau hopes so. With the playoffs beginning in less than two weeks, having Rose in there to get his timing and wind back would be crucial. But of course, the ball is in Derrick’s court at this [...]

If he played today, Dikembe Mutombo would probably be regarded as a top 2 or 3 center in the league. But because he played in an era that included David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Alonzo Mourning and others, he sometimes becomes an after thought.

NBA franchises have seldom entered the college coaching ranks in search of a new leader for their team. In fact, the latest trend is former players who have no experience roaming the sideline. The Boston Celtics are an exception, having snatched Brad Stevens away from mid-major powerhouse Butler University two years ago, but that’s about [...]

Texas fired Rick Barnes after 17 years of patrolling the sidelines for the longhorns. All of a sudden, a pretty high profile college job has opened up. Names such as VCU’s Shaka Smart and Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall were initially rumored to be leading candidates, but how about Brad Stevens of the Celtics? Stevens left [...]

When it comes to high school basketball, there isn’t many bigger stages than the All-American Game. Take a look at uniforms that those selected to the 2015 All-American class will wear. Constructed with the same textiles that the current NBA uniforms use, the 2015 All American Games jerseys feature sweat-wicking technology in areas where perspiration [...]
