Did you ever have a shoe you really wanted growing up and couldn't get it for one reason or another?  Mine were the Nike Air Zoom Flight '96, which  Dominique Wilkins wore his sole year as a member of the San Antonio Spurs.  I couldn't afford them at the time. Shoes don't brought back a […]

The New Orleans Hornets are 5-14, have lost eight of their last ten and have been outscored by an average of over seven points per game in those ten games.  So things aren't going very well.  Good news awaits, however, the New Orleans Time-Picayune is reporting that Davis practiced Monday and could be back as […]

A side story of the San Antonio Spurs being fined for head coach Gregg Popvich resting four of his best players last Thursday against the Heat has to do with games that won't take place for another 18 months.  You see, Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski is likely not returning to coach Team USA […]

With the college basketball season now a few weeks old, evaluating draft prospects can actually get going in earnest.  Every team has played at a couple of games, most have played more.  Before the season started, both Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress and Chad Ford of ESPN both had, in some order, Nerlens Noel of Kentucky, […]

Since he arrived for his latest go around with the New York Knicks, Raymond Felton has been compared to last year’s point guard Jeremy Lin. Those comparisons seemed to have gotten to Felton who told the New York Post ahead of tonight's match up in Houston that he does not really get the comparisons between […]

Magic Johnson is no longer a part owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, but he's still an influential figure in LA and the NBA community in general.  When Mike Brown was fired, Johnson went on the most public of public crusades to get Phil Jackson hired.  When that didn't work out, Johnson took to Twitter […]

The New York Knicks are off to a great start, beginning 3-0 with double digit wins in all three games. They are one of three teams left undefeated in the league and have been shutting down opponents on the defensive end and they have been doing so without Iman Shumpert, who was their best perimeter […]

Here is a quick analysis of the flurry of extensions that were handed out (and some that were not) Halloween night before the league's deadline. -James Harden, HOU (5 years, $78.8 million) – It was a no-brainer before he signed the deal and looks like even more of one now that he signed it. Harden […]

It hasn't really started up yet, but a question that is going to come up every now and then is whether Dwight Howard is going to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.  He's played in one preseason game so far and looked pretty sharp for not having played basketball for six months.  Assuming he's healthy, […]

The Dwight Howard Show got off to an earlier then expected start when the Lakers took on the Sacramento Kings Sunday night, registering a double double in the Laker loss. Howard finished the game with 19 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and five turnovers. Howard's game looked a lot like you would expect it to. […]

If you had to bet on one NBA player not making it through the season healthy because of knee issues, it'd be Timberwolves guard Brandon Roy, right?  He did have to retire because of some chronic knee problems and aside from a full year to rest them, there is not a ton of reason to […]

The New York Knicks have a lot of talent.  It's still unclear if that talent is going to mix together.  We know Tyson Chandler is starting at center, Amar'e Stoudemire is starting at power forward, Carmelo Anthony at the small forward and Raymond Felton is starting at point guard.  The big question for the Knicks […]

He is enigmatic. He is funny. He is grumpy. He is Rasheed Wallace with a post game. He is DeMarcus Cousins.  Cousins might be the most talented all-around center in the game, or at least he might be soon. But he has some maturity issues he is dealing with because he is 21 and sometimes […]

There are a lot of words that can be used to describe the Sacramento Kings' arena situation. Being in Sacramento, I have used a lot of words, some of them fit to print on this site and some that are not.  If I had to choose one word over all the others, it would probably […]
