LeBron vs. Jordan vs. Kobe. That is the hot debate these days. When one “historical” player gives their input, every reporter, journalist and media personality in the country is going to ask the rest of the NBA’s greatest players what they think. Sometimes they do not even have to be asked, they just volunteer their […]

Since he came into the league, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol has been called soft. I’m definitely not going to disagree. The guy is a 7-footer who’s afraid to take it strong to the rim and will settle for a baby hook when he should be taking some contact instead. The comments have never […]

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Portland Trail Blazers guard Wesley Matthews. In the second half of January, Matthews is shooting just under 30% from the field and around 33% from beyond the arc. OregonLive.com says that Matthews is calling this the biggest slump of his career, going all the way back to […]

It’s no secret that when rookies enter the league in any sport they can expect a tough time from some of the veterans. Some rookies get it worse than others, and sometimes the hazing is more public and therefore slightly more embarrassing. Oklahoma City Thunder big man Nick Collison is doing a blog for GQ, […]

When Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph went down with an MCL tear on New Years Day, it was the consensus that it would be nearly impossible for the Grizzlies to improve on last year’s magical run to the second round of the playoffs. He played such a huge role in upsetting the top-ranked San Antonio […]

I didn’t get to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on Wednesday night, but from all the comments on Twitter and the talk and highlights I saw the next day, it sounded like these two teams have built a real rivalry. The two Los Angeles squads have quickly built up a strong dislike for each other and […]

Some players were just built to play college basketball. This isn’t something new. We all watched Sacramento Kings guard Jimmer Fredette play at BYU last year knowing that he was going to be a high draft pick but also that he wasn’t ready to play in the NBA. He was the national player of the […]

It’s been a tough year for the Boston Celtics. They’re sitting at 7-9 right now and with their aging superstars, there’s been a lot of talk about blowing up the whole team and starting over. Now they’re dealing with some injury problems as well. Point guard Rajon Rondo has missed the last three games with […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently one of the hottest teams in the NBA, but that’s just a recent development. Their first year after moving from Seattle, they were a disaster, and that was only three years ago. But this season, a year after getting to the Western Conference Finals, they’re one of the favorites to […]

Everyone has their own theory about where New Jersey Nets star point guard Deron Williams is headed. Some think he’ll be out of a Nets uniform before the trade deadline, others think he’ll sign somewhere else as soon as the season is over. Whatever the outcome, Williams doesn’t want to talk about it. He’s clearly […]

When Joakim Noah was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, I was one of his biggest critics. I said he didn’t have the basketball skills to play in the NBA, all he had was height and athletic ability. Since then he’s proven me wrong countless times by showing that hustle and determination go a long way. […]

Despite the crazy schedule and all the mess created by the NBA lockout, NBA.com was still able to find time to conduct their 10th annual survey of NBA General Managers. The survey consists of 57 questions that ask things like “Who will win the NBA Championship?” or “Who will be the MVP?” Pretty much anything […]
