Patrick Ewing hopes his never-ending quest to be an NBA head coach leads him back to New York.  The current Magic assistant coach was on the Mike Lupica Show on Tuesday said he hoped to one day rejoin the Knicks. “I hope that one day I get to come back home because I do live […]

Kenyon Martin’s spacious suburban Denver estate is in the process of being sold.  Take a peek at the video for a look at what will soon be KMart’s former digs.  Maybe KMart should take a look himself, because chances are he’s not going to be able to afford something like that again.  There’s nothing like […]

One thing I always look forward to in the offseason is summer league.  It’s a chance for the teams to test drive their draft picks, look at the undrafted, sort out the pieces, and shop for needs.  Sadly, with the current lockout, teams can do none of these things. As a Charlotte Bobcats blogger, I was definitely […]

File this under “we’ll see” but here you go. According to a tweet from Mete Aktas (via Hoops Hype) Turkish basketball team Besiktas is interested in bringing over Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant: According to Ibrahim Seten, who’s the chief editor of the sports department of daily national newspaper VATAN, Besiktas has already started transfer […]

The Milwaukee Bucks want free agent shooting guard Michael Redd to return to the team but according to Gery Woelfel of the Racine Journal Times, Redd may end up joining one of the East’s power teams: I’ve heard Milwaukee Bucks management approached Michael Redd before the lockout about returning for another season, although my impeccable […]

Yao Ming spent eight seasons under contract with the Houston Rockets.  And he was an All-Star in every one of those seasons.  If you didn’t know Yao, that would be really impressive.  But because you do know him, and what he’s been through, you know that a few of those weren’t really earned by his […]

With the NBA lockout rolling through the summer months with no end in sight, we have seen various NBA players appear around the country in numerous summer leagues and playground settings.  Without the lockout, we wouldn’t see the large amounts of Internet highlights and YouTube sensations that have arisen this summer.  Instead of looking forward […]

It doesn’t take a doctor like Jack Ramsey to see how devasting LeBron James would be operating from the low block.  There’s nobody on earth who could guard him one-on-one down there, and if you tried to run two or three guys at him he’d find teammates running so open for lay-ups that even Eddie House and Mike Bibby would score.  It […]

Basketball ain’t golf, so feel free to make some noise out there.  Especially if you live in the greater Orlando area.  Dwight Howard would really appreciate it. A Magic fan named Otiga Ogubi, under the twitter handle of @tstreetz77, Howard agreed, expressing concern about the Amway Center crowd. Howard wrote back, “that upsets me cuz […]

I sat in front of my laptop a little while ago to write up an update on Team USA.  David Aldridge had written a piece on NBA players very likely playing in the 2012 Olympics.  Fellow editor Jeff Garcia had passed it along and I thought it would be a decent little update.   That […]
