And you thought the Boston Celtics were tanking. Don’t worry, you’re not alone; I thought so, too. Matter of fact, I still think so. They’re 8-12, probably to the dismay of general manager Danny Ainge. He likely figured them for a win or two by this point. Not eight. And there was no way in [...]

Oh, you New York Knicks. You wildly dysfunctional, presently terrible New York Knicks. You never cease to amaze us whilst also making us loathe ourselves for indulging your embarrassing antics. Sorry, did I lose you there? Good, I didn’t think so. The Knicks have been a living, breathing catastrophe this season. Reminiscent of the days [...]

We meet again. One of these times, it won’t be under such dire circumstances. I’ll come to you, wrapped in multi-colored robes and fluorescent glitter, talking about health, durability and how uncommon fragility has become. There will be no mention of a Derrick Rose injury. Or Marc Gasol catastrophe. Or Anthony Davis fracture. Or Paul [...]

Paul George is late to the Paul George Is Amazing party. In an interview with the Star Tribune, George was asked a wide-ranging set of questions. Among them was one on his status as a superstar and while expressing no regret for signing an extension with the Indiana Pacers, George admitted that he felt like [...]

Most NBA scouts and GM’s agree that after the first month of the NCAA season, Duke forward Jabari Parker is hands-down the most NBA ready among the star quartet of superstar collegiate freshmen that includes Andrew Wiggins, Julius Randle, and Aaron Gordon.

Over a year has passed since I spoke with Dwyane Wade about his partnership with Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning on the formation of WADE Brand. Now into his third signature basketball sneaker, Dwyane Wade & Li-Ning will make their first real attempt to break into the US sneaker market with a major release of the [...]

Winning heals all. Ticket prices included. When the Knicks signed Carmelo Anthony, and during Linsanity, you had to take out a loan in order to afford tickets. But now that there’s not much hype surrounding the team, coupled with their 9-game losing streak, ticket prices are plummeting. Same goes for Nets who aren’t doing much [...]

Anthony Davis has been off to a solid start so far this season for the young Pelicans. But unfortunately, a bit of bad luck has come his way. Davis has suffered a broken hand (left, non-shooting hand) and is out indefinitely. Get this: he actually broke it on the rim while attempting a dunk. I [...]

Never say Mike D’Antoni doesn’t have faith in his players. Nick Young has been everything the Los Angeles Lakers expected him to be. Or rather, what they should have expected him to be. Inconsistent, deadly, maddening—he’s been Nick Young, the player you can never quite comprehend. Magic Mike, however, is trying to put a label [...]

Looks like Lebron James is reppin’ a new game day pump up song. ‘OG’ by Bobby Johnson. Play on playa… [...]
