LaMarcus Aldridge teamed up with Jamal Crawford recently at Kevin Durant’s charity game in Oklahoma City, and it appears those two really enjoyed each other’s company.  Coming off a season with the Atlanta Hawks where Crawford, a Seattle native, averaged 15 points, 4 assists, and a little over 2.5 rebounds per game, the 6’6″ guard […]

The fifth month of the NBA lockout began on what would have been opening night in the NBA.  That’s a sad thought, but it’s not quite as sad as the state of the lockout. Not only is neither side really talking to one another, each side is a complete mess.   Let’s start with the NBPA, […]

The NBA lockout may be delaying fans from seeing the newest additions to their favorite team but that doesn’t mean they get a look at what the rookie of the team may bring. With that being said, let’s take a look at the Toronto Raptors 2011 draft pick, Jonas Valanciunas. Jonas was the fifth overall […]

           Kevin Durant put on his #35 jersey and made a huge impact in a game last night.  But it wasn’t any kind of barnstorming basketball game.  KD was hanging around in Oklahoma City when he tweeted that he was bored and wanted to play flag football.  Then this conversation happened. […]

It always seemed like Shaquille O’Neal’s nineteen-year journey through life as an NBA mega-star would make for a compelling read one day, and excerpts released yesterday from his new book appear to indicate that’s precisely what he’s put together.

Over the weekend, Jason Whitlock wrote a column referencing a source who told FoxSports.com that the belief existed amongst the NBA Players Association that Derek Fisher had been co-opted by Commissioner David Stern. He used a lot of references from The Wire in the piece, and essentially said that Fisher promised Stern he could deliver the […]

We are close. No matter what the two sides say to each other and what the rhetoric might be on a day-to-day basis, both sides know a deal is near. There are hang ups to be sure, as the hard-line positions have dug in one last time. Well, hopefully, it is one last time. Coming […]

It’s Halloween and many of you are out with your kids trick or treating in the neighborhood or taking part in your own festivities. Either way, you will probably see the usual costumes out in full force. Ghosts, ghouls, zombies, vampires, super heroes and so on and so forth. But leave it to 76’ers Andre […]

The negative effects of the lockout have already crossed over into the economy with hundreds of NBA workers losing their jobs. With the holidays fast approaching, it looks like retail sales are going to be suffering as well, most of all, shoes. In an interview done with USA Today, industry analyst Marshal Cohen says the […]

How do you know you made it in the NBA? Multiple All-Star appearances? People sporting your jersey in the streets? A fat contract? Well maybe but for Denver Nuggets’ Danilo Gallinari he knows he made it when a rap song is named after him. A group named “Hemmy Hendrix” made a rap-electronic fused song dedicated […]

I haven’t heard Brandon Jennings answer this question directly, but I imagine he’s not surprised by the challenges faced by some of his NBA brethren currently playing professionally overseas during this Lockout.  Ty Lawson appears to have had a rough go of it lately and Deron Williams’ Turkish experience has been met with some negative feedback […]
