As the Los Angeles Clippers continue to sneak back into the Western Conference’s playoff picture, the DeAndre Jordan trade rumors are dwindling in number and persistence. But that doesn’t mean they’re entirely gone. On the contrary, teams continue to monitor Jordan’s situation in Hollywood. And the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of them. But, according to [...]

NBA players are prideful, narcissistic and petty creatures for the most part. Many players run on fellow players, coaches, front office and media slights for fuel and they all want the respect that they feel they deserve on a basketball court. One guy who deserves a great deal of admiration from Boston Celtics fans and [...]

As you may (or may not) know, the rules and stipulations around the creation of the NBA All-Star teams changed this off-season.

Gregg Popovich always keeps it 100, as the kids say (do they still say that?). He also has no problem speaking his mind about an issue with his team, the NBA in general, or even society and politics. He is a very intelligent human being and an all-time great coach. He can be a very [...]

Any knowledgeable or logical fan of the game of basketball would likely tell you the two best players in the world right now are LeBron James and Kevin Durant. They also happen to be leading the two best teams in the league at the moment (Sorry Spurs and Rockets) and squared off once again on [...]

Playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as we know, was not Carmelo Anthony’s first choice.
