Well, well, well… the Kendrick Perkins saga just got a lot more interesting. Not only is he disputing police claims that he was drunk and ready to fight anyone, Perk’s lawyer says it was Perkins who was the victim. The Oklahoma City Thunder Center was arrested early Saturday morning after police say he showed signs […]

In case you may have gotten swept up in the NBA lockout and the yearning for news that a CBA has been agreed upon, there is still plenty of basketball this summer for fans to feast on. From the various pro-am games, to the much anticipated Goodman-Drew League showdown this month, fans are still getting their fill […]

Basketball Reference came up with a list for Henry Abbott over at TrueHoop yesterday identifying which individuals played the most real minutes (regular season and playoffs combined) in NBA history. The top-50 list came out with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on top for logging a grand total of 66,297 minutes over the course of his career. Karl Malone was second on the list with […]

Our series on the four jerseys fans of every NBA team continues today. It’s Atlantic Division week, and today we’re focusing on the New Jersey Nets. 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 […]

What do you want from me, the NBA is locked out and I’m tired of talking about people signing overseas contracts. We get it, everybody’s going. In addition to that, it’s not my fault that Vlade just decided to mention this a few days ago either. When I was struck by this breaking news, I couldn’t help but picture what Divac’s […]

As the NBA lockout rages on, one area of concern for veteran squads is the possibility of a lost season and a lost year for their older players. Teams such as the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and Boston Celtics are teams at the top of this category as their core have logged plenty of […]

It’s LeBron James’ turn to do the China thing. Y’know, sell a few sneakers, take a picture with a Panda… China stuff. And that includes getting his pocket picked and summarily getting dunked on by some kid. The best part about it all has to be the llittle smoke machine thing that followed. It’s like […]

China has become the popular destination for NBA stars seeking refuge from the lockout. The potential marketing opportunities in China and some familiarity with Western culture and comforts has tantalized players. Granted, China does not seem so accommodating to the opt out clauses most NBA players want so they can race back across the world […]

Photo: Approximate arrest location (via Google Street View) and the Kendrick Perkins arrest log via the Beaumont, TX police department I’d like to thank the Internet for being itself this weekend and proving once again that most things need to be checked and re-checked before believing something is true. The initial reports of what happened […]

Eddy Curry. That name evokes words such as “bust,” “under achiever,” “lazy,” or “rather corpulent.” The once highly touted big man fell fast from his perch as one who many considered would be one of the best big men to play the game after he was drafted fourth overall in the 2001 NBA Draft by […]

You can say a lot of things about Dennis Rodman. And after watching his Hall of Fame induction speech, it’s pretty clear he knows that there’s a ring of truth to every bit of it. I saw a tweet in the middle of it that said Rodman’s acceptance was less speech and more baring […]

Every Friday, we grab the most interesting photos out there from the past week and put them together in a little photo album. We also add our own captions that, we hope, will make the funny. Has it been done before? Sure. But hey, it’s Friday, so we’re mailing it in just like you are. […]

Every day seems to bring a new rumor of an NBA player going to Europe for the duration of the lockout. At least threatening to go to Europe seems to be the trendy thing to do and one of the ways the players have tried to gain leverage over the owners. For Americans it seems […]

I’m a sucker for Hall of Fame Weekend. I’ll most likely catch most of the ceremony tonight, and by the time NBATV is done replaying the broadcast one hundred times over the next month I’ll have eventually caught each and every word from each and every speech. I’m looking forward to hearing Artis Gilmore, and Chris Mullin, and Tex Winter, and […]
