Lowry, on a surprising Raptors team, has been putting up career numbers (16.8 points and 7.6 assists per) but apparently hasn't done enough to warrant an All-Star vote from the NBA's coaches Every year, the fans of the NBA pick the All-Star starters while the coaches pick the All-Star reserves. Every year, there are deserving […]

Out West, […]

It seems hard to believe the change that will occur Saturday. David Stern will step down Saturday as NBA commissioner after 30 years at the helm. A lot has happened in those 30 years too. While not all of it can be attributed to Stern, he was there to usher the whole thing in. His […]

The mercurial guard was labeled a gunner during his four seasons witht he Bucks after averaging 17.0 points per game and shooting 39.4 percent from the floor.

Miami's Greg Oden's history of injuries is well chronicled so I won't go into it here but if there was any way to make a splash on the court as he slowly returns from injury, dunking on the greatest power forward of all-time would be the way to do it. During the recent Spurs-Heat game, […]

Sunday night, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett returned to Boston for the first time as Brooklyn Nets following their trades out of Boston last summer. For both, it was clearly a very emotional night. Pierce, for one, spent the first 15 years of his career in Boston and set all kinds of team records. He […]

After the second returns, it seemed like the NBA's All-Star starters were pretty much set. In the East they certainly were with Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony all but set. The West had intrigue with Chris Paul's injury opening the door for Stephen Curry to get into the starting […]

There is not a lot to cheer about right now if you are a Knicks fan. The team is cratering after last year's second seed and playoff series victory. There are questions about Carmelo Anthony's future with the organization. And the team is stuck with few assets to wriggle their way out. The Knicks future, […]
