Things are looking iffy on this side of the pond and NBA superstar Kobe Bryant officially has options now. Earlier this summer, he may or may not have flirted with the idea of joining Deron Williams in Turkey and Chinese teams would love to have him as well. Now reports are coming in that Italian […]

After reports that actual progress was being made during the negotiations to end the NBA lockout last week, fans who were accustomed to hearing pessimistic news the entire offseason were suddenly imagining an agreement to the labor agreement would come soon and actually prevent the upcoming season to start on time like the NFL somehow […]

LeBron James was once one of the more liked players in the NBA up until last summer when he stunned the basketball world with his decision to join the Miami Heat.

It seemingly came without warning and certainly without provocation. “What does men PLATFORM shoes and Dwyane Wade. Before you could say “evil empire”, LeBron @DwyaneWade have in common? Tell Dwade to take his socks off and you’ll see.” Wade immediately responds… “@DwyaneWade Yes sir! Are friendship goes beyond playing basketball! And we have no problem […]

Jorge Sierra of Hoopshype scored an exclusive interview with LeBron James that touched on a variety of topics but short on much depth aside from a good soundbite or two. Among the more interesting tidbits was that LeBron has no semblance of a relationship with fellow Nike spokesman Michael Jordan, endured the worst week of his […]

In just a few months, it will have been 20 years since Magic Johnson made the shocking announcement that he had contracted the HIV virus at the age of 32 and was immediately retiring.

[…]

In one of the more laughable reports to have come out of the drudgery that is the NBA offseason, the Nielson Sports organization has come out with a thoroughly useless and seemingly arbitrary ranking of the NBA’s Most Marketable Players. Not only did they rank Dallas Mavericks forward and 2011 NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki at the very […]

Both sides of the NBA lockout are taking time off before meetings resume again but they are still bickering publicly over how accurate the owners are being with their finances. While no one appears to lose sight that ultimately these are multimillionaires fighting over millions of dollars, the owners are losing the public relations war […]

This one is easy. Seeing as they already have the #3 pick to get the best player at that spot, the Jazz can make a smart business decision with the #12 and select Jimmer Fredette out of Brigham Young University and the leading scorer in NCAA Division I with 28.9 points. With the 1-2 sucker […]
