Many things are known about former Seattle Supersonics point guard Gary Payton.  He's a future hall of famer, one of the best all around point guards to play the game and he can talk for days.  Payton is also known by sneakerheads for having one of the most popular basketball shoes ever.  What you may […]

Brandon Roy agreed to a 2-year $10.4 million contract to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves in early July. Prior to that, he spent this past season retired. Or was he ever really retired?  Despite the fact that everybody said Brandon Roy was retired, it turns out he wasn't. Sound confusing? It's not to Roy, who […]

Kobe Bryant has come a long way trying to move past his infamous incident in 2003 where he was accused of raping a woman in a Colorado hotel room. For the most part, he’s done a good job, but that doesn’t mean there won’t still be jokes about it. The latest of these jokes came […]

While dozens of NBA players compete for gold in London, there’s seems to be another fight brewing with NBA Commissioner David Stern and the NBA owners on one side and the players on the other.  This one isn’t going to shut down basketball, but with the Olympics going on, the battle over whether the NBA […]

It wasn't that long ago when the Washington Wizards were the joke of the NBA. JaVale McGee led that charge with bone head acts on the court (him running to the opposite end of the court while the Wizards were on offense is still my favorite), as did Andray Blatche being a lost cause despite […]

Andre Iguodala has always been a misplaced superstar. Wedged between Allen Iverson's career in Philadelphia and whatever comes next, Iguodala has at times been asked to be a sidekick and superstar. In each role, he has found some success but not ultimate success. After all, Philadelphia has been out of the first round just once […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are committed to building around Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio. That’s their core and that’s who they want to win with. Love may not be as loyal to the team as they are to him, but at least they’re clearly acknowledging his request to put better pieces around him. Love opted for […]

Nate Robinson is coming off arguably the best statistical season of his career. He averaged a career best 4.5 assists per game this past year, and coupled that with 11. 2 points per night on average for the Golden State Warriors. According to a Sam Amick report this week, he is about to parlay that […]

Dwight Howard is still a member of the Orlando Magic. It would have been hard to predict that with the acrimonious dialogue between the franchise and the Magic since the end of last season. It seems like reports had Howard out of Orlando on at least two occassions this offseason. Yet, when Orlando could not […]

Argentinian point guard Pablo Prigioni is set to make his NBA debut this season with the New York Knicks. It is not clear yet how he will fit into the rotation with the Knicks signing Jason Kidd and trading for Raymond Felton, but Prigioni feels confident this three-headed point guard tandem will help the Knicks […]

Carmelo Anthony gets blamed for lots of things that are not his fault. Just ask him if you do not believe me. One thing in particular he has been unfairly ridiculed for recently is Jeremy Lin leaving New York for the Houston Rockets. Despite glossing Lin the Knicks' Rudy Rudiger in February, and then drowning […]

It is not quite a trade involving Dwight Howard, but the Magic have begun moving forward toward their uncertain future. The Magic hired Spurs assistant coach Jacque Vaughn to be their head coach. This is not a move that likely will convince Dwight Howard to rescind his trade request. After all, Vaughn has only two […]

Having players like Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden is great for the Thunder but is does come with a rather large price tag that could break up the trio. See the Thunder are in a pickle when it comes to the future of Harden. The team already locked up Durant and Westbrook to […]

The NBA schedule was announced last night. All one thousand two hundred and thirty games that will be played next season now have times, dates, and locations associated with them. Here’s some other things that we know: Brooklyn will be hosting a Christmas Day game. Probably because they moved. The Nets will play the Celtics […]

Anyone else sort of forget about the Chicago Bulls? After their first-round exit from the playoffs this year, it’s easy to let it slip your mind that they’ve posted the best regular season record in the NBA the last two seasons. Of course, losing the reigning MVP in your first playoff game is going to […]
