There's nothing like getting your hands on your favorite NBA player's autograph. We've all been there. Waiting on the stands, yelling his name out, pen in hand, just hoping he will stop by sign whatever you got and your day is made. But going that route at least allows you to feel secure you have […]

There was no way Luol Deng was missing the 2012 Olympics in his adopted home of London. Nothing was going to stop him — not a long playoff run or a torn ligament in his wrist. The safe assumption for much of the summer as Deng fought the Bulls, the insurance company and his body […]

Sometimes organizations have a plan and it's plain to see. Those are usually the good teams. Other times teams have plans and they're not so easy to figure and sometimes teams are more or less moving ruderless. The Sacramento Kings either have a plan and it's not plain to see or they're lost at sea. […]

Most of the big free agents signed with teams (new and old) before the Olympics started, but there are still a […]

Kevin Garnett could live seven lifetimes doing his best Antoine Walker impression and not spend all the money he's made in his NBA career. As opposed to Walker, he tried to take a chunk of that change he's earned and invest it into a soccer club recently. He attempted to purchase a share of AS Roma […]

The Indiana Pacers were the surprise of the Eastern Conference. Maybe not because they reached the Playoffs for the second straight year or because they jumped from eighth to third in the Eastern Conference. It might have been more because they became a top defensive team and pushed the Heat in the second round or […]

Jacque Vaughn impressed many in his introductory press conference. He sang a very different tune than former head coach Stan Van Gundy, sticking to and echoing the same catchphrases and terms from general manager Rob Hennigan. Vaughn is very much a coach in the Gregg Popovich family and thus will fit in with the Magic […]

The Lakers and Andrew Bynum's camp have both known for some time that he'd be eligible for an extension starting this summer. They've also both know, probably since midway through this season at the latest that he's a max contract player. Despite knowing these two things, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times writes that […]

In the offseason, the team added Chase Budinger, Greg Stiemsma, Andrei Kirilenko, Brandon Roy, and Alexey Shved to a roster with Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams. But if you think Minnesota is simply looking at next […]

Somebody put a microphone in front of Los Angeles Dodgers Owner Magic Johnson and asked him if the Lakers were now a championship team because they added Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison. Based on the fact that it is no longer 2004, Magic responded by saying what every NBA fan in the world would say. […]

Right now, Leandro Barbosa is in London trying to help Brazil win a medal in basketball. Although, if you’ve ever watched him play, you would think he’d be just as comfortable out on the track. The “Brazilian Blur” has found success in the NBA being one of the fastest guys out on the court. Barbosa […]

Doc Rivers has always been a master motivator for his teams. Going from the 2000 scrappy Magic squad to the 2008 championship with the Celtics. Rivers has always been able to get the most out of his players and has become one of the most respected coaches in the league. Rivers certainly faced a lot […]

Jason Terry isn't one to shy away from telling it like it is or what's on his mind. While with the Mavericks, he was never shy to voice his dislike for the Spurs, nor was he shy from getting a tattoo of the NBA Finals trophy on his arm before Dallas even won it in […]
