As he’s gotten older, Kobe has become less and less likely to hold his tongue on certain matters. Especially his feelings towards former teammates, as we’ve found out. Namely, Smush Parker. “I almost won an MVP with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown on my team,’ Bryant said before Wednesday’s 93-75 exhibition loss to Portland. ‘I [...]

The New York Knicks have a lot riding on the 2012-13 campaign, more than most of the other NBA teams do, in fact, and such pressure calls for drastic action. New York has Carmelo Anthony, the biggest star on the team. It has Amar’e Stoudemire, a star in his own right, yet one who is [...]

NBA sneaker endorsements have become a bigger topic of conversation than normal lately.  After Jordan Brand lost one of their marquee players, no time was wasted in filling the position by calling up Russell Westbrook from the Oklahoma City Thunder, who’s deal with Nike expired this year, to the Michael Jordan brand.

Andrei Kirilenko was back to his old tricks, making an impact up and down the court without registering noticeably on the scoreboard. A healthy J.J. Barea looked [...]

Adam Morrison has had quite a roller coaster career. After being drafted in 2006 by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 3rd overall selection, the expectations for Morrison were sky high. He had a few decent showings in his rookie campaign, putting up acceptable numbers for a rookie, but the problem was he was shooting a [...]

The New Jersey Brooklyn Nets have been reborn. And they are throwing a lot of eggs in the Deron Williams basket (rightfully so). After their big rebrand this summer and move to Brooklyn, they are ready to make a playoff push to impress their new fan base. Sports Illustrated thought the time was right for [...]

Carlos Boozer’s stay in Chicago has been met with equal parts regret and hope. The regrettable element involves lamenting over Boozer’s $80 million contract. The ‘hope’ aspect is ironic,  being the result of an unfortunate series of events.
