The NBA released its 2014-15 schedule Wednesday getting us officially super excited for the 2015 season. Is it October yet? No? Dang. Two months just seems like too long a time to wait. Especially with so many games to look forward to. This season is just going to be way too much fun. Seriously, is […]

To hear some of the criticism and lack of accolades heading John Wall, makes you think he is not one of the growing young stars in the league. The former top overall pick was recently cut from the guard-heavy U.S. Basketball Team which was not a humongous surprise considering teams can zone and Wall is still […]

San Antonio Spurs’ Marco Belinelli is either training for the next summer Olympics or he really wants to report to training camp in shape.
I would say he really wants to come into next season in great shape and he is getting there by pulling an SUV.
Yeah you read that right, Belinelli is pulling an SUV as part of his offseason regiment.
Don’t believe me? Check out Marco doing some serious training (via Project Spurs). Talk about motivation to get up off the couch and run a few laps.

File this under signs of the apocalypse. Apparently there is a rap album titled “Full Court Press Vol. 1” which features several NBA players doing what they should not be doing — thinking they are rap stars. Players such as Shawn Marion, Carlos Boozer, Iman Shumpert, Juwan Howard, Glen Davis and others will be lending their voice […]

Well this can’t be good. Former No. 1 NBA Draft pick, Greg Oden, is now facing a felony charge after he assaulted his girlfriend after drinking. Court documents filed today say the 7-foot-tall, 285-pound Oden is accused of punching Christina Green in the face three times and fracturing a bone in her nose. His mother, […]

We are all ears right now to new ideas to replace the NBA Draft Lottery. The much-maligned system has resulted in teams tanking to get the 25 percent chance at getting the top pick, although just three teams have actually accomplished that since the league went to its current lottery iteration. Many are expecting some […]

Atlanta fans are not the best in the NBA. Not by a long shot. That is a shame. D.J. Foster provides an excellent soundtrack at Philips Arena. The team has been to the Playoffs each of the last seven years, with three series wins in those seven years. Yes, the Hawks have never been to […]

The 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain kicks off later this month where the best-of-the-best in the world will compete for gold and a chance at an Olympic birth in Rio. But with so many teams in the field, what are a few things to watch for at the tournament? Well, in no particular order, […]

Last week, it became a harbinger of things to come when the NBA Store pulled Andrew Wiggins Cavaliers jerseys off their store and they were no longer available for sale. Thursday Wiggins Cavaliers jerseys became a collector’s item — like my Steve Francis Vancouver Grizzlies card — when the Cavaliers traded the top overall pick […]

As Team USA shifts its focus from Las Vegas to Chicago for its next pre-World Cup friendly (see what I did there soccer fans?), they are traveling a little bit lighter. The team officially cut John Wall, Bradley Beal and Paul Millsap, trimming the roster from 16 to 12 (Paul George is the other player […]

The Spurs were not quite groundbreakers in hiring Becky Hammon as an assistant coach Tuesday. The Cavaliers had hired Lisa Boyer as a voluntary assistant in the early 2000s. She will not even be the first woman coaching for pay in a NBA-affiliated league. Groundbreaking women’s basketball player Nancy Lieberman coached the Texas Legends of […]

Dan Le Batard is a boisterous member of the media from South Florida. He unabashedly talks South Florida sports above all and his career took off from mere regional prominence to national prominence thanks to LeBron James. So when LeBron James left, you could imagine the shock-jock columnist would do something, well shocking. Shocking like […]

We waited for two years for this rookie class to take shape and make it to the NBA. Teams threw seasons away just for the chance to draft Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins. Fans of those teams spent a year debating which player would be better between these two wonder freshmen. When the dust settled, […]
