Before the NBA Finals started, most people were in agreement that the Oklahoma City Thunder needed James Harden to win a title.  Now that his first Finals appearance was anything but a success, many are wondering what his worth is to the Thunder and if he should even be a part of their future if […]

Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash is going to be one of the top prizes of this year’s free agency period. The 38-year-old veteran proved this season that he can still play and still be a key building block in a team’s chance to be successful. He has said he does not want to stay […]

Turning on ESPN or talking with casual fans (or even die-hard fans) about the 2012 NBA Finals leads to one conclusion: this one is LeBron James’ title. It has cemented his legacy and achieved status as an all-time great. Now it is just about rank-ordering him, but at least we can have those conversations. ESPN […]

Let’s just get this out of the way before the NBA offseason gets any further along: Phil Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy’s name will be floated about with any present and future head coaching vacancies until they officially sign on the dotted line. No one knows this more lately than the Oklahoma City Thunder. Since […]

Danny Ferry, who had been in the mix for other General Manager positions, has been hired by the Atlanta Hawks Terms weren’t disclosed by the team, but the deal is for six years, sources said.

Heading into the 2012 Olympics, the projected winners of an Olympic medal were Team USA, Spain and France. For the French national team, the roster reads like a roster built up of NBA stars – Nicolas Batum, Ronny Turiaf, Boris Diaw, Joakim Noah and, of course, Tony Parker, the clear leader of the French team. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have not had too much good news on the free agent front during the last few seasons. This latest report on All-Star point guard Deron Williams may serve as some. Maybe. News broke this weekend that Williams has narrowed his possible free agent landing spots to two teams. One of those being […]

The Golden State Warriors have 4 picks in next week’s draft. There’s a lot of work to be done, but I would imagine they’re most excited about their lottery pick at number 7. There’s a decent-sized drop-off from Anthony Davis, who will surely be the top pick, to the rest of the field, but there’s […]

The champagne probably has not dried off of LeBron James’ jersey yet after his masterful triple double to close out the Oklahoma City Thunder and win his first NBA championship. There will be a lot of time to bask in championship glory throughout the offseason. There is still another prize to be won though. Team […]

Don’t call it a comeback… Instead chalk this practice footage of Arvydas Sabonis with the Lithuanian National team up to him investing in the future of Lithuanian basketball as the president of Lithuanian Basketball Federation (LKF). No more suit and tie and press conferences. The big man is back on the floor where he belongs, […]

Whoever ends up a Charlotte Bobcat by way of the second overall selection is going to have an extremely challenging rookie season. The team is terrible, and no one player outside of Anthony Davis stands much of a chance to change that themselves. The Bobcats don’t need just one piece. They need as many young […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Miami, and LeBron, is your champion In the end, it made sense.  It took a season to build a championship chemistry in Miami.

It was one of the worse injuries to watch during these NBA playoffs – Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose collapsing in mid-air as his left knee (ACL) crumpled sending Rose to the floor in Game 1 of their playoff series against the Sixers. And just like that, the Bulls’ season was practically over as they went […]

Mario Chalmers is a young guy on a team of superstars. He’s done well to settle into his role on the Miami Heat. He’s the starting point guard on the team, but there’s no doubt about who runs the offense, and it isn’t him. With all that being said, his performances in Game 2 and […]
