The New Orleans Hornets youth movement has officially begun. ESPN’s Marc Stein is reporting that the Hornets are actively trying to trade center Chris Kaman so they can begin getting more minutes for their younger bigs. “We’ve informed Chris that we are looking into possible trades and he was understanding about the situation,” Hornets GM […]

Wednesday was the last day the 2008 draft class could get an extension. Of that class, only Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Danilo Gallinari and Kosta Koufos got extensions. One guy who didn’t take well to not getting extended was Brook Lopez.  Fred Kerber with the New York Post writes Lopez was miffed he […]

GQ caught up with Ricky Rubio recently, for a conversation with the the Minnesota Timberwolves’ rookie, and in the article they later published the author wrote that Rubio is “the January Front-runner for Rookie of the Year”.  Rubio’s playing real well this season, and his 11 points, 9 assists per game averages are indicative of […]

I didn’t get to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on Wednesday night, but from all the comments on Twitter and the talk and highlights I saw the next day, it sounded like these two teams have built a real rivalry. The two Los Angeles squads have quickly built up a strong dislike for each other and […]

Indiana announced to Chicago that the Central Division is going to be a fight. By coming into the United Center and handing the Bulls their first home loss in a 95-90 defeat Wednesday, the Pacers not only bounced back from their own first home defeat but put the presumptive division champions on notice. Indiana is […]

For those who can remember MC Hammer during in his glory days then this is sure to make you laugh or perhaps make you break out your baggy pants and bust a move. Preferably the “type writer” Hammer move. Dallas Mavericks’ Jason Terry pulled a page out of William Shatner’s book of interpretive reading of popular […]

One of the first images you see when you pull up the report that the Milwaukee Bucks’ center Andrew Bogut is hurt (yes, again) is Bogut’s  bloated and fractured left ankle.  Hide the wife and kids.  It’s not a pretty sight, but it is becoming a reoccurring theme every NBA season for the oft-injured Aussie […]

Every morning, we’ll give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1:  Magic go Chernobyl  The Orlando Magic had something to prove.  After scoring a franchise low 56 points in a 31 point loss to the Celtics, the Magic were chomping at the bit to show the Celtics, […]

The Houston Rockets were in a storm of uncertainty at the beginning of the season. They thought they had acquired Pau Gasol in a cap-clearing move that would have sent Kevin Martin and Luis Scola to New Orleans. When the trade was rescinded, everyone seemed joyous that the Lakers did not get Chris Paul and […]

Last night the Los Angeles Lakers avenged an earlier loss to the Los Angeles Clippers and stopped a three game losing streak. It also did nothing to quell the the budding Lakers-Clippers rivalry. Neither did Matt Barnes’ comments before last night’s game. According to Fox Sports West, Barnes called Griffin a flopper while speaking at […]

Some players were just built to play college basketball. This isn’t something new. We all watched Sacramento Kings guard Jimmer Fredette play at BYU last year knowing that he was going to be a high draft pick but also that he wasn’t ready to play in the NBA. He was the national player of the […]

Kobe Bryant will make $53.2 million this year in the business of basketball. That sound you hear is me pounding my head on my desk in frustration with myself for not learning each and every teaching point offered in The Kobe System earlier. It was all right in front of me, and I didn’t listen […]

 Just when you thought the D-League couldn’t possibly add any more veteran NBA free-agents to their rosters, along comes Rafer Alston.  According to

LeBron James had another solid night Tuesday night against his old team. James scored 18 points, five rebounds and five assists on 8-for-21 shooting in the Heat’s 92-85 win. It was a relatively quiet night for James this season considering he is averaging 28.9 points per game, 6.8 rebounds per game and 7.1 assists per […]

San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan pretty much shies away form the limelight. He isn’t one to crave the cameras, walk the red carpets, or appear in rap videos. He prefers the quiet life and letting his stellar N.B.A. resume do all the talking. So when he does decide to step in front of the camera, […]
