Our series on the four jerseys fans of every NBA team continues today.  It’s Central Division week, and today we’re focusing on the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Remember, we’re not just going to list off four popular players in team history.  We know that when you’re wearing a jersey, you’re going for a “look.”  So every day we’re […]

From New York City, to San Antonio, to Sacramento, the NBA has some of the unique arenas in sports. San Antonio has the Southwest, Tex-Mex atmosphere for those in attendance, Boston gives visitors a walk through time as you are inundated with Celtic’s history and Los Angeles has the glitz and glamour anyone would expect […]

There has been no sense of urgency for either side to resume negotiations as the NBA’s labor debacle enters its 54th day.  Maybe it’s because the owners are entrenched as they fight for a complete overhaul of the financial system.  Or maybe it’s because the players know that even though the NBA’s locked out, many […]

Larry Bird knows his career as general manager and president of the Pacers is coming to an end soon. He told owner Herb Simon he would like to walk away when they met back in May but was convinced to stick around for at least another year. The Pacers have been preparing to find a […]

Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose made his presence felt last year and firmly established himself among the NBA’s elite. Along with the addition of Tom Thibodeau and Carlos Boozer, Chicago surprised many by earning the Eastern Conference’s top seed and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. Rose turned in an MVP season in averaging 25.0 points per […]

So you just got inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame which means you might go out after the ceremony for a nice quiet dinner, maybe share the night with your family and end the night with a glass of champagne and a toast to your huge accomplishment. That probably summed up the night for […]

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 […]

Usher Raymond owns a piece of the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Or at least I think he does, or did, not totally sure the situation there really.  I’ve seen him sitting court-side for a couple games over the last handful of seasons, but I noticed that he wasn’t cc’d on that letter Dan Gilbert wrote to LeBron […]

Just when things were starting to look up for Memphis Grizzlies’ Zach Randolph comes this unfortunate news. According to The Oregonian (via cbssports.com) a drug-related assault occurred at his home in Oregon on Saturday.  Police showed up at his home yesterday morning: Sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. James Rhodes said Randolph was home at the time police […]

The Drew/Goodman league showdown was settled last night in Washington, DC.  LA’s Drew League took the game, dubbed “Capital Punishment” 135-134.  But immediately after the game, Goodman’s Brandon Jennings demanded a rematch… which Drew’s Kevin Durant immediately accepted.  There’s now talk that it could go down in early September in LA, and possibly with Kobe […]

Whenever David Stern, Billy Hunter or Derek Fisher say anything, you have to take it with a grain of salt.
