One of my favorite things is reading personal interviews with athletes. The interviewer asks the typical questions like, “what were you thinking during this play?” or “how are you going to turn this season around?” but also asks about movies, family and any other random topics that show that athletes have lives outside their respective […]

When New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson brought Rasheed Wallace out of retirement, he had to know the risks of signing a 38-year-old veteran that had not played in the NBA for two years. Wallace proved that he could contribute to the Knicks, even at his age. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds […]

The Los Angeles Lakers got a much-needed win on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They ended a six-game losing streak and held a team to less than 100 points for the first time in 2013. Anyone want to guess who logged the most minutes in that game? It was not Kobe Bryant or Dwight Howard or even […]

Last year, the NBA had to squeeze a condensed 66-game schedule into a small window because of the lockout. Pretty much everyone had their complaints because the games were too frequent and fatigue and injuries became a big factor. This year, we are back to the normal 82-game schedule, but some are still critical of […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers must be kicking themselves a little bit for not trading Anderson Varejao when they had the chance. Varejao was the hottest commodity on the market only a few weeks ago when he was hitting 15 and 15 almost every night. Now a knee injury that the team originally thought would keep him […]

We are almost to the halfway point of the NBA season. It is not too early to start thinking about who’s making a case for postseason awards. When looking at candidates for coach of the year, I think the best gauge is to see who exceeded expectations. Who got their team playing at a higher […]

After getting off to a 16-16 start, including losing their last four, the Milwaukee Bucks and head coach Scott Skiles have decided to part ways. The initial reports make it seem like the split is mutual, with neither side happy with the other. In fact, Skiles, according to an Adrian Wojnarowski report, “

The Washington Wizards’ abysmal season last year was overshadowed by an even worse one from the Charlotte Bobcats. This year, they are taking center stage with only four wins so far. They have been playing without point guard John Wall, but you have to wonder how big of a difference he could possibly make. The […]

I guess when you are a struggling team like the Sacramento Kings, “indefinitely” means “one game.” Kings center DeMarcus Cousins was suspended indefinitely after getting into an argument with head coach Keith Smart at halftime of last Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. However, Cousins was reinstated by the Kings on Monday after just […]

Every year of LeBron James’ career, as it gets closer to the All-Star break, people start hoping. “Will this finally be the year we see LeBron in the dunk contest?” The answer is always no. As each year goes by, the hope dwindles a bit as LeBron gets older and loses a little more explosiveness […]

What’s your favorite part about NBA All-Star weekend? The dunk contest? The actual game? When it’s all over and we can go back to playing real basketball? The NBA knows that the All-Star festivities don’t attract a lot of attention, especially the Skills Challenge and Shooting Stars events. So, in an effort to get more […]

The New York Knicks are 18-6 this year, sitting on top of the Eastern Conference. They finally look like the team they should have been for the last few years, and they have done it without Amar’e Stoudemire seeing the floor. Now that Stoudemire is returning from his knee injury, there are questions as to […]
