So this is why Byron Scott doesn’t have Kobe Bryant practice regularly. Here we all were thinking it was to offset the minutes that the 36-year-old Bryant is playing, yet totally shouldn’t be playing. Kobe leads the league in minutes played. At 36. Nineteen years into his career. For a six-win Los Angeles Lakers team. [...]

Ever imagine Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, playing alongside Ray Allen, who used be the greatest shooter in NBA history? Me too. I may or may not have tried such a pairing in NBA 2k for an entire dynasty. There was just something about the triumvirate of Curry, Allen and Klay Thompson that [...]

A lot of rumors have been swirling around regarding seven-time all-star Tracy McGrady that he’s planning on making an NBA comeback after officially announcing his retirement from basketball just last year (2013). I’m sure many would have loved—especially his millions of fans around the world—to see him back on the floor. However, it looks like [...]

If the New York Knicks couldn’t get any worse…… Not only are the Knickerbockers the NBA’s third-worst team (4-20) at the moment; They’re also off to the worst start in franchise history, riding a 10-game losing streak, only have three players averaging double figures, and are surrendering close to 100 points per game. The Knicks [...]

Rajon Rondo will not go gently into the good night. Whatever that means. Really, the All-Star point guard just won’t allow himself to be removed from the top-three NBA player conversation—which is weird, because, ya know, he’s never, ever been part of that discussion. “The top three NBA players in the league right now,” he said [...]

As if this nightmarish season for the Knicks couldn’t get any worse, we find out that Carmelo Anthony may need surgery for his sore knee. As if the worst start in franchise history wasn’t bad enough. If Melo’s knee is truly that bad, then yes, he should opt for surgery and just sit out for [...]

Shaquille O’Neal has some words of wisdom for the stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, potentially feuding New York Knicks. Trust Phil Jackson and the famed triangle offense. I’m paraphrasing, of course. That’s not Shaq’s message verbatim, but it’s close. The Big Aristotle went on  SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel on Tuesday and talked with Stephen A. Smith [...]

Pssst. Hey! You! Guess what? The Philadelphia 76ers are not the worst team in the NBA right now. True freaking story. Also, pssst! The Chicago Bulls amnestied Carlos Boozer and somehow regressed on the defensive end. Ignoring every other piece of context—Pau Gasol’s arrival, Derrick Rose’s return, Nikola Mirotic’s and Doug McDermott’s inexperience—that’s pretty funny. [...]

At 5-16, the Lakers are towards the bottom of the pack and look like they will be there for the entire season. But Magic Johnson would prefer if they were the worst team in the league. Magic wants the Lakers to lose every game for the rest of the season in order to get a [...]

During the offseason of 2013, the Brooklyn Nets were the talk of the league. They’d just brought in a bunch of new faces, including a brand new head coach. But after spending more than $100 million in luxury tax and not having much to show for it, the luster is gone. So is the new [...]
