Michael Jordan has always stood for greatness in the game of basketball. But this is the first time where no one wants to “be like Mike”. As the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, Jordan’s failure is always before him as the team owns the worst record in the league with  only 7 wins (and […]

It was too painful for some fans in Newark too look ahead at the Nets  playing in Brooklyn next season, that they spent a little over two hours on Monday night remembering the last 35-years their basketball team  spent in New Jersey. But even then, the history of the franchise was riddled with heartache. As […]

Someone go check on Jeff Van Gundy to make sure he did not have a heart attack on Sunday night after watching Reggie Evans’ horrible flop performance. A week after Van Gundy ranted on national television claiming the NBA condones flopping across the league, Evans essentially made a case for why the league office needs […]

For every story we hear or read about Allen Iverson  falling on hard times financially, Dennis Rodman  struggling to make ends meet, or even Latrell Spreewell  unable to feed his family after making millions in the  NBA, there is a post-NBA career story like Keith Van  Horn’s. Unfortunately we don’t hear enough about those. At […]

There were no questions about David Stern blocking the Chris Paul trade to the Los Angeles Lakers. No questions about attempting to ship out Pau Gasol before the season, or the fragile state of Lamar Odom’s departure to Dallas and his subsequent debacle this season with the Mavericks. Not even an attempt at what black […]

I think we can all agree the brand of basketball during times this NBA season has been a real yawner. Turnovers per game are up (14 players around the league average 3 or  more turnovers per game), guys tend to look sluggish, and don’t even  get me started on having to watch the Charlotte Bobcats […]

 It’s now up to David Stern to clean up the arena mess in Sacramento, a position the NBA commissioner finds himself in on Friday as he  prepares to meet with Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and Sacramento Kings ownership, the Maloofs.  If this Board of Governors’ meeting opens with a round of handshakes it might be […]

 In a matter of 24-hours Kevin Love went from an MVP candidate to laid out flat by JaVale McGee.  The Minnesota Timberwolves power forward sustained a mild concussion and neck strain after being accidentally hit in the head by McGee  of the Denver Nuggets during the first quarter on Wednesday, and now the rest of […]

No one is going to blame LaMarcus Aldridge if he can’t finish out the remaining eight games on the Portland Trail Blazers schedule. If  anything, he might actually be applauded for the decision.  Because after everything else that has gone wrong for Portland this season, risking further damage to Aldridge’s lingering right hip is the […]

The usual suspects of free agent point guards for hire this coming offseason typically begins with Deron Williams and Steve Nash. Everyone after that becomes lost in the shuffle. But all of a sudden Goran Dragic is starting to climb the free agent point guard ladder. On Monday the Houston Rockets point guard took  a […]

 This story is not going to end well in Portland for Raymond Felton.  In many ways the tale has grown stale and already run its course, that is until the Blazers disgruntled point guard used his post game  comments  on Wednesday night to challenge the local media and any other Felton critics in Rip City […]

It’s unknown at this point in the game how many more at bats Seattle will get trying to bring an NBA franchise back to town, but right now  the Seattle Mariners are working on a shutout against such aspirations. The same can be said about the Maloofs and the Sacremento Kings. On Tuesday, the Mariners […]

 Before Ricky Rubio went down with a season ending knee injury in Minnesota, the Spanish point guard was in a close race with Cleveland’s  Kyrie Irving for who would take home NBA Rookie of the Year honors this season.  Rubio tearing his ACL in early March changed that debate and Irving’s been the front-runner ever […]

 The Phoenix Suns might as well kiss any glimpse of hope of securing that last playoff spot out West good-bye.  It’s one thing to be sitting two games behind the Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets in the postseason picture, but now the  Suns will have to go about their business without their premiere […]
