He’s faced questions about his height, his weight and his mobility.

Reaching a deal between Freeland and Blazers is far from done

Back when the Portland Trail Blazers selected Joel Feeland 30th overall in the 2006 NBA Draft, the idea at the time was to draft and stash the big man over in Europe and let him develop his game. Mission accomplished. After playing with Gran Canaria until 2009, the 6-foot-10 forward and center moved to Unicaja […]

Bobcats hire St. John’s assistant Mike Dunlap

The Bobcats had reportedly whittled their list of general managers to three names — Brian Shaw, Jerry Sloan and Quinn Snyder.

OKC just needs to play better if they hope to win Game Four

The Oklahoma City Thunder shot twenty-two percent from three-point range in their Game Three loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday. James Harden finished 2 for 10 from the floor overall.

Scott Brooks’ future not set in stone

Scott Brooks likely is not focused on what happens after this season quite yet. In all likelihood, it will take care of itself once the Thunder’s season ends — championship or not. You still cannot blame Thunder fans for worrying that their head coach will go elsewhere this offseason.  And while it’s a concern for later, it […]

Gasol definitely out in L.A.?

The Los Angeles Lakers were pointing fingers at just about everyone to take the blame for missing a chance at another championship after the Thunder knocked the Lakers out of the postseason. Los Angeles is not a patient city, so you can bet all the guys taking flack for not stepping up during the playoffs […]

French national team loses key players as Olympics loom

It’s a pretty safe bet Team USA and Spain will be fighting for the gold medal at the upcoming 2012 Olympic games but the rest of the field of teams will be playing for bronze. Teams such as Brazil, Argentina and France are the teams that could walk away with the bronze medal but if […]

TP at the wrong place at the wrong time. Injures eye in club brawl

The San Antonio Spurs have a reputation as being a squeaky-clean franchise. Rarely do you read the headlines and see any Spurs player name on the police blotter or capturing the headlines for all the wrong reason. So this was a bit out of the norm when Tony Parker was at the wrong place, at […]
