Reports surfaced last week that the Sacramento Kings could be interested in re-locating to Virginia Beach. With respect to the destination, this latest rumor in the Kings-Could-Move-Saga was met with laughter and ridicule across the inter-webs. Virginia Beach aside, however, the idea that the Kings could still leave Sacramento is a very real possibility. Former […]

Serge Ibaka didn't play nearly as much as anyone expected he would in the Olympics. The Spanish team who eventually finished seven points shy of a Gold Medal did play Ibaka for 22 minutes in the final game against the US, but he probably should've played even more than that. To speculate, the issue most […]

Michael Redd averaged 15.1 minutes per night in 51 of the 66 games played last season for the Phoenix Suns. His career long battle with injuries is well-chronicled, but he certainly appeared healthy enough to contribute last year. He told me last month when I caught up with him in Columbus, OH that he "feels […]

There's a big part of me that wants to say this could never happen. Truth is, Derrick Rose could be the next superstar to bolt for greener pastures when his contract does expires with the Chicago Bulls. As much as we might not want to think that's possible. Stan Van Gundy, a man who speaks […]

Hakeem Olajwon summer workouts seem to include just about everybody in the NBA during the last few years. Last summer we talked about LeBron James learning from Dream, and this summer Dream's talking about his new pupil, Javale McGee. Maybe this opinion will get people's attention: Olajuwon says McGee should dominate the NBA. From an […]

Miami, Chicago, then Philadelphia. Those are my top-three teams in the Eastern Conference right now. By right now I mean on paper. We certainly have not played a game yet, and I do realize that Indiana might disagree this statement. But I am going to make it anyway. What made the Indiana Pacers so successful […]

Carmelo Anthony is an NBA All Star. He was a National Champion at Syracuse, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, and he could even win a third Gold down in Rio four years from now. But all that doesn't do enough to escape one simple fact: Carmelo Anthony's friends are better at basketball than he his. Not […]

Evan Turner has spent time sitting behind Andre Igoudala since the Philadelphia 76ers drafted him second overall two season ago. Igoudala made his first All Star team last season too, so despite Turner's overall improvement, his role was not really expected to change too much. That is until the Sixers dealt Andre to Denver last […]

John Wall sat down with Jim Rome this week on his new CBS Network television show. When asked by the host if the Washington Wizards are a playoff team, the franchise player from the Nation's capital said what he should say.   "Yes sir, I think so," was the quote from Wall. The emphasis on […]

Kobe Bryant was talking about playing professionally in Turkey this time last season. According to a report this week, that might not just be a lockout thing for Bryant. While he's been on record that his NBA career may conclude when his Lakers contract is up in two years, he added recently that is pro career […]

Since 2005, free agent swingman CJ Miles played 389 career games for the Utah Jazz. According to a report from The Salt Lake Tribune this morning, he will not play 390. Miles had been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers in recent days, while also generating interest from the Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee Bucks and Houston […]

Somebody put a microphone in front of Los Angeles Dodgers Owner Magic Johnson and asked him if the Lakers were now a championship team because they added Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison. Based on the fact that it is no longer 2004, Magic responded by saying what every NBA fan in the world would say. […]
