14 seasons into his NBA career and with 1,300 games under his belt, LeBron James is still chugging along and looking as good as ever. On Friday night versus Washington, LeBron James became the 7th member of the 29k point club. He is now the fastest player to ever reach the milestone, breaking the previous [...]

Sitting at 3-5, the losers of four straight, with a bottom-two defense to their name, the Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t doing well. Most people in and around the NBA aren’t too worried. The Eastern Conference is still a wide-open pit of mediocrity. The Cavaliers have LeBron James. They have a bunch of new faces. Isaiah Thomas [...]

Tanking makes so much sense for the New York Knicks, even after their recent three-game winning streak. They own their own draft pick. They have kiddies, including rookie Frank Ntilikina, they can play. They aren’t trying to win, necessarily, even though they are trying. Just imagine going into next season with a core of Ntilkina, [...]

Who had the Cleveland Cavaliers holding a team meeting to hash out their issues fewer than 10 games into the season? Those of you who did, congratulations! You’ve won! I don’t know what you win. Maybe a high five or something. Perhaps just the feeling that comes with being right. Because you were right. Head [...]

The NBA’s reigning MVP plays with a fire and passion that few have matched in the history of the league. From the tip to the final buzzer he flies around the court with reckless abandon and fills up a box score while doing so. Jason Kidd sees these sort of qualities in Westbrook’s game and [...]

DeAndre Jordan is in a ridiculously weird spot. When he first signed his current contract, no one thought he’d opt into the final year, next season, worth $24.1 million. But then the NBA’s free-agency market this past season cratered. And then the market for bigs who don’t shoot tanked even harder than that. And now [...]

Things are looking up for the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony Davis says so. From The Times-Picayune‘s William Guillory: “We’re going to be a special team, we feel it,” said Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, before correcting himself. “We don’t feel it, we know it. “We’ve just got to keep playing the way we have–playing hard on defense [...]

New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek is safe. For now. On the heels of an 0-3 start that saw a couple of players question the engagement and execution of everything around them, some weren’t so sure Hornacek would last into the month of November. The Knicks were supposed to be bad, but another season [...]

Lonzo Ball has no time for fair-weather Los Angeles Lakers fans. He only wants to deal with the realest supporters. The rookie tweeted out the following on Sunday night, after the Lakers fell to the Utah Jazz: [tweet https://twitter.com/ZO2_/status/924488601542516736] People will poke fun at this because he’s Lonzo Ball. Others will question whether it’s even [...]

Why, no, Derrick Rose does not miss playing with the New York Knicks. He’s perfectly happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thanks for asking. From the New York Post‘s Alex Squadron: After one roller-coaster season with the dysfunctional, triangle-absorbed Knicks, point guard Derrick Rose is feeling comfortable in a brand new home. Why exactly? “[With the Cavaliers], [...]
