Almost two years ago, adidas made the decision to take their “all in” moniker heart by locking then-premiere NBA point guard Derrick Rose to a lifetime sneaker endorsement contract. With the 2011 NBA MVP out of the Chicago Bulls active roster again with an injury, adidas keeps the ball rolling with a new, high-performance basketball [...]

Just when you think you’ve seen it all. I’ve never really thought of JR Smith as a ‘crafty veteran’, but the untying of the opponent’s shoe during free throws is up there with the veteran lore of pulling leg hair of jump shooters, trying to make the opposition flinch, or even pulling down their shorts. [...]

In light of his recent confrontation (and subsequent suspension) with head coach Brian Shaw, several teams have reportedly inquired with the Nuggets about trading for Andre Miller. Miller had been suspended for 2 games and certain teams are interested in a veteran backup PG. Smart move on their part; hoping to get Denver to make [...]

Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving suffered knee injuries. Why are we losing so many PGs? Also, the Raptors recently announced that they may undergo a rebrand that will be spearheaded by the defacto face of the franchise: Drake. Are they giving him too much power? Kevin Burke discusses… If you have a question you would [...]

Well, this is awkward. Kendrick Perkins, resident useless guy for the Oklahoma City Thunder, is cheesed off. Why you ask? Hint: It has nothing to do with the fact that the phrase “cheesed off” is outdated. Hasheem Thabeet met up with a bunch of OKC’s players and posted a photo of their festivities on Instagram. [...]

Drama, drama, drama. You knew this season was going to be tough for the New York Knicks. Not 10-21 and tied-for-the-third-worst-record-in-the-Eastern-Conference tough, but tough enough. Speculation was bound to ensue with Carmelo Anthony preparing to explore free agency for the first time of his career. You just knew it. But it wasn’t supposed to be [...]

This year’s prized crop of potential one-and-done immediate impact freshman like Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Julius Randle have been every bit as good as expected. What we didn’t see coming is just how good some of the returning upperclassmen like Marcus Smart, Doug McDermott, and Shabazz Napier could be. Players like Kansas freshman Joel [...]

The oft-injured Kyrie Irving has remained true to form and has suffered another setback. His left knee buckled in a game earlier this week basketball fans held their collective breath in fear of it being those three letters. You know the ones. Luckily, it wasn’t and is being diagnosed as a knee bruise. Dating back [...]

Try as we might to ignore it, NBA players are people too. Living, breathing souls just like the rest of us. They feel. They bleed. They enjoy the occasional snifter of brandy or, in the young at heart’s case, sporadic glass of chocolate milk decorated with a crazy straw. Point is, they’re not robots. They’re [...]

Andre Miller seems to be a pretty reserved guy. He never gets too high or too low. That means whatever transpired between he and head coach Brian Shaw must’ve been pretty intense. Miller has been suspended by the team for 2 games for his outburst aimed at coach Shaw due to his decreased playing time. [...]
