It's probably hard to imagine turning down close to $20 million in guaranteed money but Denver Nuggets swingman Andre Iguodala told Fox Sports Florida he's planning on opting out of the final year of his deal this summer, forgoing a guaranteed $16 million to seek a long term deal. Iguodala was quick to note that […]

It may be a turbulent season for the Los Angeles Lakers but Kobe Bryant brought some smiles to the team and fans versus the Kings. Heading into the Sacramento game, Bryant was chasing NBA great Wilt Chamberlain on the All-Time scoring list for fourth place and in the second quarter of action, Kobe did it. […]

Damian Lillard is the presumptive Rookie of the Year this year after he has put in a strong 19.1 points per game and 6.5 assists per game for the Blazers. His efficiency and shooting could certainly use improvement, but the guy is only 21 years old and has lots of room for growth. Paired alongside […]

Many lament the apparent lack of "competitive fire" or vitriol between oppponents in today's NBA. Whateverh appened to the rule that you don't help an opposing player up after he falls and generally just despise anyone wearing opposing colors with a passion.

Jeff Green made an improbable layup as time expired Wednesday to give Boston a 93-92 win over Cleveland on the road. It was the kind of euphoric moment kids dream about and was certainly a big moment for Green, as it would any other player. His Celtics earned a key win late in the season […]

The streak that some thought may never end, finally did. The Miami Heat ran out of magic and dropped last night’s game to the Chicago Bulls, 101-97, putting an end to their 27-game win streak. As they did a number of times over the past two months, the Heat fell behind by double-digits in the […]

So few players get to write their own endings. The greats typically get cut down as father time catches up to them and their bodies break down. Many hang on for too long or get squeezed unceremoniously out of the league. Jason Kidd, one of the great all-time point guards in the NBA's history, signed […]

The Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak came to an end last night at the hands of the Chicago Bulls sans Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, 97-101. There was no comeback, no LeBron James late-game heroics but just a sound win for Chicago and a sound loss for Miami. And to add insult to injury, Bulls' […]

O.J. Mayo made an incredible drive down the base line to tie the game with the Clippers and 0.6 seconds left. It seemed like the game was all wrapped up and Dallas would live to fight five more minutes and close within one game of the eighth spot in the Playoffs. Then Matt Barnes lobbed […]

As Professor Farnsworth would say on "Futurama," good news everyone! Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose is back on the practice court and going full blast on that injured knee. Yesterday, the All-Star guard went through one-on-one drills (h/t Beyond The Buzzer) with his teammates where he showed he hasn't lost touch on his jumper and still […]

Royce White is yo-yoing back and forth between the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers after a miscommunication had him thinking he was going to finish the year out in Hosuton working out in preparation for next year. It is becoming less and less likely that the Rockets' 16th overall pick in this year's draft will […]
