It will be the first time the City that Never Sleeps has hosted the NBA All-Star […]

It is August, the schedule has been released and the Philadelphia 76ers still do not have a coach. New general manager Sam Hinkie has taken his time in rebuilding the Sixers from the ground up. He traded all-star point guard Jrue Holiday and drafted Nerlens Noel and his still-injured torn ACL. That would be the […]

OK, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One man's great jersey design is another man's plain, simple design with no identity. The Toronto Star decided to throw its hat into the ring of jersey designs by holding a contest to redesign the Raptors jersey. Anything they design would surely be better than […]

Once a competitor, always a competitor. That must be the mantra Thunder's Kevin Durant lives by since we all know what he can do on an NBA court against opposing teams, but he obviously carries it when facing little kids. At a basketball camp, several kids had an opportunity to try to shoot over Durant. […]

The Los Angeles Clippers had perhaps the franchise's best regular season last year. That really is not saying much when it comes tot he Clippers. The season ended up a disappointment though as the Clippers were unceremoniously bounced from the first round. A chance to do something really special slipped away. And then so did […]

There are some people around Portland and within the Portland Trail Blazers fan base that would prefer Greg Oden’s tenure with the Miami Heat to be a bust. It is true.

It is not uncommon for rabid fans to fawn over musicians or actors. Recall "Beatle-mania" and throngs of women crying over Elvis Presley? Well that over-emotional type fan is still living strong and recently, a fan of Lakers' Kobe Bryant let out his feeling over his NBA idol. Bryant was in China on a Nike […]

Come this season in Detroit, we will find out if Brandon Jennings is a man of his word or a Chris Paul doppelganger. Since joining the Pistons in a point-guard sign-and-trade swap that sent Brandon Knight to the Milwaukee Bucks last week, Jennings has gone on record to say that running with a front-line of […]

You probably noticed how Blake Griffin is willing to promote everything. From cars, video game outlets, sandwiches, and Foot Locker, there isn't much Blake won't put his face on and endorse. But what is fueling Blake to do all of this? Well, "The Endorser" machine that's what! Check out this funny Foot Locker commercial featuring […]

The NBA released their schedule Tuesday afternoon and unsurprisingly, all 30 teams will play 82 games. All will also play back to backs. Past that, it's all about the national TV schedule, which features a ton of the World Champion Miami Heat and both teams from Los Angeles. The Lakers will be on ABC, ESPN […]

Boy, we are really milking these NBA players getting dunked on posts. I guess that is why this is August. Larry Sanders is used to being near posterization with the way he protects the rim. Sanders emerged as a strong rim protector last season witht he Bucks. He averaged 2.8 blocks per game last year […]
