With just over a week until the much anticipated 2014-15 NBA season gets underway (thank you Baby Jesus) it is the optimal time to bust out the crystal ball (or trash can) and make some predictions. Will LeBron bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy to “The Land?” Will Duncan get ring number six? Who will win [...]

What if you were told that the reason the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t teeming with superstars not named Kobe Bryant right now is because of Kobe Bryant himself? Would you believe it? Probably. Perhaps most definitely. He’s notoriously hard to get along with—at least until last year—and the countless anecdotes we’ve been made aware of [...]

As was the case when the Clippers were for sale, just about everyone is rumored to be interested in buying the Hawks. Most recently of note, Chris Webber is the face of a group looking to purchase the franchise. But C-Webb is preceded by Dominique Wilkins and others. Another former Hawk has thrown his hat [...]

Jason Kidd’s departure from Brooklyn to Milwaukee still seems strange, several months later. It came out of nowhere and was almost unprecedented. We’ll never get the true story, but reports suggested Kidd wanted more power, while he continues to deny that. However, one thing he doesn’t deny is the rumor that the Nets wanted to [...]

The Lakers may have beaten the Utah Jazz tonight, but it wasn’t without their superstar getting thoroughly embarrassed on a specific defensive play. While Kobe Bryant was guarding Utah Jazz’ Alec Burks, he got caught reaching at the exact moment Burks laid a sweet behind the back cross on the Mamba. Fans of Bryant went [...]

Is there anyone in the world more excited to see Kobe Bryant get healthy than John Havlicek? Why you might ask? Mainly because Havlicek has been holding onto the unenviable record for most missed field goals ever in the history of the NBA. And Kobe Bryant is only 99 misses away from breaking the record. [...]

Last night, the Suns hosted the Spurs in a preseason contest and hardly anybody for San Antonio showed up. Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili, Tiago Splitter, Patty Mills (injured) and even Popovich did not make the trip. Granted, it’s preseason and it’s normal for guys not to participate, but Suns owner Robert Sarver wasn’t [...]

Ownership of the Atlanta Hawks will become a hot topic as the season draws nearer. The NBA is in such a good place right now that becoming an owner of any team is a great business to get into. You can turn a profit on any franchise thanks to things like the new TV deal. [...]
