Back in March, after speaking at length with Trail Blazers Guard Jamal Crawford, I was convinced that interim coach Kaleb Canales would eventually be named Head Coach on a permanent basis out in Portland. It wasn’t just what Crawford said about the guy who had just been promoted from Video Coordinator to replace the recently […]

There is no doubt about it, the NBA is an international game in every aspect. It’s popularity has reached every corner of the globe which in turn has caused the league to see a massive influx of foreign players. Whether it be from Europe, South America, China and everywhere else in between, foreign players have […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  OKC’s big comeback You wouldn’t see a re-incarnted Sun Tzu penning basketball strategies that include being down 13 at any point in an NBA Finals game, but the Thunder never quite seemed uncomfortable with their deficits […]

The Celtics future is very much in flux. Everyone sort of realized that after their Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Heat and the fact that two of the three of the celebrated Big Three of 2008 are free agents. No one is quite sure what will happen with Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Paul […]

The NBA Finals tip-off tonight and this, along with the both Celtics-Lakers series, is probably the most excited a lot of people have been since Jordan retired.  The MVP and the MVP runner up, who play the same position, squaring off.  I’m not sure I even know how to begin picking this series.  My initial […]

NBATV’s documentary on the original Dream Team airs tomorrow night, but if you can’t wait that long, GQ did an outstanding article on the 1992 Olympians. They combined a bunch of quotes from a good portion of the people involved to tell a great story about the best basketball team to ever take the floor. […]

 He was one and done at Duke University.  He is a 19-years old basketball prodigy with NBA roots and can more than hold his own as a swing guard at 6-foot-4.  And that game winning three-pointer against North Carolina earlier this season only serves as a reminder that the kid can take and make big […]

Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh’s return to the court was exactly what the Heat needed to put away a pesky Boston Celtics team that pushed Miami to seven game in their Eastern Conference Finals series. He proved to be a player the Celtics’ bigs had to watch for, and was able to stretch the floor for […]

The NBA Finals will put Oklahoma City on a national stage in a way that the city has rarely been in. Oklahoma City, after all, has only one sports team and it has not had it that long. And this is a great thing for a growing city. The Thunder are a source of civic pride. […]

They are the two premier big men of this era – San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan and Boston Celtics’ Kevin Garnett. Both have dominated the paint offensively and defensively, won NBA titles and garnered many accolades along the way. But now that the season is over and their NBA careers are coming to an end […]

It was a long summer for LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Not just because of the lockout — which saw Durant in the public eye constantly with a never-ending run of pick-up basketball games for public exhibition — but because of how their seasons ended. Durant’s season concluded in his first Western Conference Finals appearance, […]

For those of you that are TV lovers, surely you’re familiar with “Zack and Kelly,” “Ross and Rachel,” or any number of other dramatic romances that never seem to die and leave people wondering week-to-week, “will they or won’t they?” Well, I get that same feeling following the decisions of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard. […]

The NBA Draft on June 28 is creeping up quickly and Jared Sullinger is already learning a crucial lesson as he prepares to make the jump from  college to the pros. In this business, it is best to have thick skin. The 6-foot-9 center out of Ohio State is probably the most scrutinized player entering […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be making their first NBA Finals appearance (as the Thunder) tomorrow versus the Miami Heat. But for veteran guard Derek Fisher, it won’t be his first. Outside of Nazr Mohammed (won a title with the Spurs) and Kendrick Perkins (won a title with the Celtics), Fisher is a five-time NBA […]
