In the business of the NBA, analyzing rumors from all possible angles simply comes with the territory for the numerous media coverage dedicated to every facet of the game. Trades get leaked. Front office and head coaching changes are reported days – sometimes months — in advance. Heck, some reporters and columnists actually never have […]

At this point for the Bulls coaching staff and fans, any sign that Derrick Rose's surgically repaired knee is back to 100% is a welcome sight. With that being said, it may have been an 8-foot rim but Rose, while in Spain, decided to rock the rim (h/t gamedayr.com) with through-the-legs dunk. Hey, it is […]

The NBA added a new twist to its Summer League by having championship games in both Orlando and Las Vegas. While some teams certainly did not take the competitive aspect as much to heart as others, it certainly added some spice to the proceedings. And now there are two teams entering the history books. Or […]

December 5, 2009. That is the last time Greg Oden appeared in an NBA game. All the rumors and reports since then have ranged from retirement to annual comebacks for the former first overall pick in 2007 by Portland. But this time a return to the league inches closer with each day as probably the […]

So this is going to be interesting. Needless to say, Lakers' Nick Young has a reputation as a chucker. There is no spot from anywhere on the court that Nick won't shoot from and show just how much he doesn't know the words "passing the ball." Then there's Kobe Bryant. A player who throughout his […]

For a decade and a half, Paul Pierce has pulled a Boston Celtics jersey over his head, stepped out on the floor, and did everything he could to help carry the team to a win. That was his job. Fifteen years and nearly 27,000 combined regular season and playoff points later Pierce now finds […]

It is hard to argue against Marcus Camby’s 17-year NBA career and the experience he brings to any team in the league at 39 years old. So do not just assume this is another roster filler free-agent signing that is about to go down over the next few days. Far from it. Camby cleared waivers […]

How do you know it is the NBA offseason? This video you are about to see of Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki singing in the backseat of a car. It seems the former NBA MVP had quite some time on his hands as he sang "Satisfaction" with the Mavs dancers driving Dirk and his buddy German DJ […]

The NBA's Board of Governors met in Las Vegas during the NBA Summer League to discuss several potential rule changes, the renaming of the Bobcats and the potential for new cities to host NBA franchises in the near future. There was also some accounting. Some odd accounting. The Oklahoma City Thunder were reimbursed roughly $15 […]

Don't be surprised if in the near future you are watching NBATV late at night and you see Jonathan Bender coming on trying to sell you some exercise equipment. Bender, whose once-promising NBA career was derailed by constant knee injuries and immaturity has found his second calling. That is in exercise equipment. In April, Bender […]

You have heard the basketball expression… playing his shorts off. Well Jordan Hamilton of the Denver Nuggets Vegas Summer League team did literally that in a game versus the Pelicans. While driving to the lane, Hamilton got tripped up and in the process, lost his shorts. Jordan may have finished the game with 27 points […]

More or less, half of the NBA is going to flush themselves down the toilet this season for one reason: the 2014 NBA Draft is loaded with top-end talent that can change franchises. Or, at least that is how it appears at the moment. That crop is led by Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Marcus Smart, […]

The ESPYs came and went Wednesday night. It is OK if you did not notice as they are pretty meaningless and pointless. However, it is a nice bit of entertainment and occassionally a good joke comes out of it. Mad Men actor John Hamm was this year's host and he was out throwing haymakers in […]
