OK so the NBA lockout might have been nauseating for all NBA fans but there is no doubting it did give us some great highlights, courtesy of Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks. From coast to coast, Jennings made any summer exhibition game he took part in his personal stage to basically humiliate anyone courageous enough […]

Things are looking great for the Los Angeles Clippers. Once the butt of many NBA jokes, the Clips are slowly becoming a popular destination for players via trade or free-agents looking for a job.

NBA gyms are open, teams are allowed to talk to player’s agents, and training camps are set to kick off next week. Yes these are all signs pointing to the eventual end of the NBA lockout but this is perhaps the ultimate sign the NBA lockout is over. Someone in Cleveland will play host to […]

The lockout is all but over but what a time it was while it lasted. CBA negotiations, players arguing with owners, insane demands from owners, fans ire rising each passing day, and of course, the exhibition games. A day, week, a month didn’t go by without some pro-am or exhibition game popping up made up […]

Let’s face it, when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers, money is no object. Need proof? Their current team payroll is $91,311,749 which puts them tops in that department in the NBA. But when you swing a cable deal to the tune of $5 billion, I am sure you will be OK pumping out […]

New York City’s Rick’s Cabaret might have formed the all-stripper Rick’s Basketball Association to help fill the basketball-void left by the NBA lockout but they didn’t have a head coach. Until yesterday. And if you would have pegged a former NBA star to get the job, Dennis Rodman would seem the obvious choice.  But you […]

If you are a Dallas Mavericks fan and looking to score a ticket to opening night to see the Mavs unveil their NBA title banner and receive their rings, get ready to shell out some major cash. Mavericks tickets rank (via New York Daily News) number one when it comes to a single-game home ticket […]

It’s the pinnacle of an NBA […]

Washington Wizards’ free-agent Yi Jianlian is currently living the expression, “If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” Yi has been playing with Guangdong of the Chinese Basketball Association during the lockout and in a recent game against Beijing, suffered an injury to his right knee (via NBA247365.com) and will sit […]

OK so maybe it’s not an NBA game (thank you lockout) but Minnesota Timberwolves’ Ricky Rubio finally got to play with his fellow NBA players at Drew Gooden’s charity game and did he deliver. Rubio showed off the passing ability and dribbling skills which made him a coveted draft pick out of Spain. From behind-the-back […]

So remember how New Jersey Nets’ Deron Williams adjustment to playing overseas with Turkish team Besiktas was highly scrutinized? Well Williams sure silenced some of those naysayers, at least for one game. Williams scored 50 points as Besiktas beat BG Gottingen, 105-94 at the EuroChallenge. Williams scored those 50 points off 17/23 from the field […]

By now you all have seen the video footage of Denver Nuggets’ J.R. Smith writhing in pain after his apparent knee injury while playing with the Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association.
