What took so long for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to team up in an ad? Whatever the reason may be, Foot Locker has done the dynamic duo justice. Blake can be dry, but that dryness has a way of being funny by accident when he’s starring in commercials. CP3 has good camera presence usually, [...]

Shane Battier is upset, and I don’t blame him. The NBA released the 2013-14 schedule on Tuesday and, lo and behold, the Miami Heat are on the road for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

There’s is no explaining the recovery process of one Kobe Bryant. It’s been said before, almost to the point where it’s played out. But not quite.

Ever since being traded to the Hornets as part of the Chris Paul deal, Eric Gordon has never been the same. He was one of the promising young rising stars, but the injury bug has taken a toll on him. The Pelicans have an excited young roster on paper, if everyone can stay healthy. In [...]

Yesterday, the Washington Wizards held a press conference to discuss John Wall’s new max contract extension. Wall is everything to the franchise right now so they did what they had to do.

This is the moment all New York Knicks fans have been waiting for, but not in a good away. According to the New York Post‘s Marc Berman, Amar’e Stoudemire won’t be returning to Hakeem Olajuwon’s camp to work on his post moves this summer, as the team believes his surgically-repaired knees need rest: Stoudemire will [...]
