George Karl on firing from Denver: “I think it’s very stupid”

There was the Allen Iverson trade. Chauncey Billups' arrival. The battle with cancer. All the Carmelo Anthony drama.

Phil Jackson talks no more coaching, the Lakers, and Brian Shaw’s struggle

When Phil Jackson talks — or Tweets – people listen.

Report: NBA and Chris Hansen discussing Seattle expansion

Will Houston really be Kevin Garnett’s final All-Star Game?

Kevin Garnett has always been one to talk a lot of junk on the floor over the course of his 18-year career between Minnesota and Boston.
