A 7-footer at center standing alongside a true post man at power forward and then another guy who might be a stretch-4 next to him? What is this the 1980s? Enes Kanter (or Derrick Favors), Al […]

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson doesn't seem interested in letting the Maloofs sell the Sacramento Kings to the Seattle group looking to raise the Supersonics from the ashes without a fight. Last night, during half time of the Kings' 95-94 victory over the Washington Wizards, Johnson spoke to local media for close to ten minutes, laying […]

The NBA will announce the starters for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game tonight on the NBA tip-off show on TNT at 7 p.m. Usually those that are picked are not a huge surprise.
