The 10 teams playing in Wednesday's Christmas Day quintuple header will be wearing special NBA jerseys with the team's logo emblazoned on the middle and, more interestingly, sleeves. The NBA has been going in this direction starting last year with the Warriors experimenting with the jerseys and then several teams using them in Summer League. […]

High-flying Hawks silence Jazz Hawks 118, Jazz 85 The Jazz have had a mixed bag road trip. Look no further than Trey Burke's 8-point, then 30-point performances in Florida. As a franchise though, Utah had to have this weekend circled on its calendar for some time. Cost-cutting moves for the long-term led the Jazz to […]

The fact former NBA guard Jerry West is the logo for the NBA say a lot about his game. The Hall of Famer is simply one of the best ever to lace them up in the league and even after all these years away from the court and in the front office, it appears West […]

At the time, Jason Collins' coming out was seen as a step forward for LGBTQ equality in the NBA. But now, with no NBA team having signed him for the 2013-2014 season, many question whether he serves as a symbol of equality or of the NBA's lack of acceptance. Collins was regarded as being the […]

Things got a bit testy on the Miami bench during last night's matchup against the Pacers. During the third quarter, words were exchanged between LeBron James and Mario Chalmers. At first it seems as if Chalmers was doing the yapping and he must have said something to tick James off. LeBron leaped up out of […]

The Clippers have always had the offensive weapons. Chris Paul can make any offense look incredibly strong with his playmaking ability. Pair him with Blake Griffin on the break or pick and roll and offense is going to be pretty easy. Add in Matt Barnes, J.J. Redick, Jared Dudley and even Byron Mullens with the […]

Como estas? Hola! This and much more was the Spanish lesson of the day from Mavericks' Jose Claderon as Dallas released a funny video of Jose teaching his teammates how to speak Spanish. From teaching the guys how to tell a cop he is a fatso to Vince Carter ordering a tuna milkshake, Jose really […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had very little to cheer about this season. So when Joe Johnson steps up and scores 29 points — in one quarter, it is going to be beyond newsworthy. It is going to be must-see basketball. Johnson’s 29 points came in the third quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers and featured eight […]

After watching this video, it is safe to say Denver's Nate Robinson is very glad his team came away with a win over the Pelicans. He is so happy, that he began to dance in the locker room and even tried to get his teammate Timofey Mozgov to join in the celebration. And yes, Nate […]

Life as an NBA mascot can be perilous. Lightning struck twice though for Pistons mascot Hooper. Hooper was viciously and hilariously attacked by a group of Nets players before Friday's game. Hooper had to be dragged off the court. {youtube}vdh3tn74fzo{/youtube} Fortunately, Hooper got his revenge in the form of a silly striang attack on Andray […]

The Pistons probably thought they were definitely headed to overtime versus the Blazers with the score tied at 109 with just 8.2 seconds left on the game clock. However, Blazers' Damien Lillard had other things in mind. Again, with just 1.2 seconds left in the game Lillard proceeded to end any hops Detroit had at […]
