LeBron James isn’t even 30 years old yet, but he’s already played in 3 Olympic Games. Don’t forget, he, Wade and Carmelo were all rookies on that 2004 bronze team. Because he has already dedicated so much to Team USA basketball, he may be done. In fact, Jerry Colangelo has already dubbed Kevin Durant as [...]

After a first round playoff sweep at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs and Dwight Howard taking his talents to Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers are a team in transition and turmoil. The franchise centerpiece future Hall of Fame shooting guard Kobe Bryant faces the toughest challenge of his epic career, returning from a [...]

Next summer, the basketball world will shift their focus to the FIBA Championships. Had it not been for his knee injury, DerricknRose would’ve been a part of last summer’s Olympic roster. So will he suit up next summer? It sounds like the job is his if he wants it. How he performs this year for [...]

Nick Young didn’t join the Los Angeles Lakers to play defense. He signed in Hollywood to shoot. That much was clear from Day 1, the moment Young put pen to paper. For more than a half-decade, he’s been known for his (inefficient) scoring and nothing else. Why would he change now? He wouldn’t. And he [...]

Monta Ellis isn’t Dwight Howard, and that’s not a problem for Mark Cuban. The Dallas Mavericks owner put his team in a position to sign a top-tier free agent in each of the last two summers, but to no avail. Deron Williams spurned them for the Brooklyn Nets last summer, and Howard chose the Houston [...]

Unless he gets hit by a bus, Andrew Wiggins is almost a lock to get one of the Top 2 draft picks in the 2014 NBA Draft. He’s that good, he’s that athletic. However for now, he’s still got to focus on his first season of college hoops with the Kansas Jayhawks. The Hoop Doctors [...]

Paul George’s future with the Indiana Pacers isn’t an issue…because he has one. A bright one. Entering his fourth year in the NBA, George is eligible for a contract extension. The Pacers have until October 31 to iron out a deal with the league’s Most Improved Player, otherwise he’ll hit restricted free agency next summer. [...]

They don’t call Paul Pierce The Truth for no reason. Not necessarily known as a harsh off-court personality, Pierce has no qualms telling it like it is. And nothing has changed since he was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Brooklyn Nets. Pushing 36, Pierce creates no delusions about the part he’ll play in [...]

With a depleted Chicago Bulls squad limping their way through the playoffs, Nate Robinson took full advantage. Nate had flashes of brilliance during the playoffs on a national level and all but guaranteed that he’d have plenty of suitors given his pending free agency. But if you’ve followed Nate throughout his career, you know that [...]

Good for DeMarcus Cousins. It’s gotten to the point where people almost assume the 22-year-old is going to say the wrong thing, that he’s going to do the wrong thing. And on some levels, we can’t really chastise the ones that do. Over the last three years, Cousins has been equal parts promise and infuriating. [...]
