There have been a number of famous siblings following in their father’s footsteps by paving their own way to the highest level of basketball lately. In the past we have seen Michael Jordan’s two sons succeed on the collegiate level, Doc Rivers’ son Austin, once the top ranked high school player in the country, get [...]

A diminished version of Kobe Bryant is better than no Kobe Bryant. That’s the stance Los Angeles Lakers head coach Mike D’Antoni is taking. To an extent, it’s one that he’s always took. He hasn’t allowed Kobe’s absence to dominate post-game pressers nor has he entertained the prospect of his uncertain return more than he [...]

To some it’s still hard to fathom that Rasheed Wallace, the NBA’s all time leader in technical fouls, is now an up-and-coming assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons, but its a proven fact that Rasheed was arguably one of the most talented and versatile big men of his generation. Standing 6’11, he was capable of [...]

As great of a player as Dr. J was, I think it’s fair to say he’s still probably underrated. Two things are responsible for that in my opnion: he played part of his career in the ABA, and he was winding down as Jordan was taking off. For whatever reason, Jordan’s era is the one [...]

Carmelo Anthony is pissed. Finally. I’m not going to blame him, either. If I were him, I’d be pissed too. Like, really pissed. Following the New York Knicks’ 109-106 loss to the Houston Rockets at Madison Square Garden Anthony tried to sidestep questions regarding the no-call on his desperation three late in the fourth quarter, [...]

But timing, hard work, and performing in the spotlight can make a world of difference. Roy Hibbert made that statement about George winning the 2014 [...]

Players wanting to play in major markets is something that will never change, no matter what language is discussed during collective bargaining or during  a lockout. To that end, the Knicks are reportedly planning on using that leverage to recruit Kevin Love in 2015. This would be great for the Knicks and much needed. Right [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]

Kevin Love believes. Talk of 2015, when Love will be a free agent and likely courted by the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, among others, kind of makes you forget that there’s another team who will be competing for Love’s services—the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minny’s quest to retain Love has already started. David Kahn [...]
