Every All-Star Weekend, there seems to be one guy, typically a young player, who announces himself to the rest of the NBA. In 2009, Kevin Durant played on the national stage for the first time and dominated the Rookie-Sophomore Game. Kyrie Irving did the same in his 3-point barrage in Orlando during the Rookie-Sophomore Game […]

The Cavaliers have fired general manager Chris Grant, the team announced Thursday, as the team flounders on the court and struggles to fulfill the promise it had at the beginning of the year. David Griffin, the team's VP of Basketball Operations, was named the interim general manager. Grant had been with the Cavaliers for eight […]

The Lakers injuries this year are well-documents — from Kobe Bryant to Pau Gasol to Steve Blake's recent return to Steve Nash's recent reutnr — the team has been a revolving door of injured players. Los Angeles has rarely been a complete team. They may never have been more incomplete than they were Wednesday. Los […]

When Al Horford went down to a torn pectoral in late December, the Hawks were sitting third in the Eastern Conference and the only team not from Miami or Indiana in the conference above .500. There was some concern in the packed Eastern Conference that Atlanta could be in for a hard fall.  OK, Atlanta […]

The Pacers got bigger and that is sure to make the Miami Heat a little more nervous. Indiana made the bold move of signing Andrew Bynum for the rest of the season Saturday, adding the often-injured but mercurial 7-footer to their collection of hard-nosed defnders with championship aspirations. There is little worry however that this […]

The final four spots in this summer's FIBA World Cup were filled Saturday morning with FIBA announcing Brazil, Finland, Turkey and Greece would take the wild card spots. Turkey and Greece are longtime European powers with Greece reaching the quarterfinals in the 2012 Olympics and Turkey reaching the finals of the 2010 Basketball World Championships. […]

Even before Kyrie Irving stepped onto the floor Thursday night in what would turn out to be a 117-86 loss to the Knicks at Madison Square Garden (on national television no less), Irving was already answering questions about his future and the current state of the Cavaliers. A season that started out with so much […]

The NBA announced the complete rosters for the annual NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans this coming Valentines' Day Weekend. The starters were announced last week and there were few surprised other than Kobe Bryant getting voted in despite playing only six games and Kevin Love passing Dwight Howard for a starting spot. Out West, […]

David Stern is making the rounds as he celebrates the final two days as NBA commissioner. His 30-year tenure as the league's top man is coming to a celebrated ending. He will be honored tonight in New York before the Knicks play the Cavaliers (and probably booed) and he will sit down for a special […]

It seems hard to believe the change that will occur Saturday. David Stern will step down Saturday as NBA commissioner after 30 years at the helm. A lot has happened in those 30 years too. While not all of it can be attributed to Stern, he was there to usher the whole thing in. His […]
