There will not be any sleeves this time. Nor will there be any strange two-toned or multi-colored jerseys when the NBA All Stars hit the floor at Madison Square Garden in February. The jerseys the All Stars will wear are surprisingly plain considering all the experimentation the NBA has gone through with jerseys during All-Star […]

This stat line was downright zany. One we have not really seen in quite some time. Well, except for from Kobe Bryant. Monta Ellis had it all and then some.

Gordon Hayward has been quietly biding his time to strike the ballot box for the All-Star game. Well, now it is his year and he has been playing like he really wants to be in that game where no one plays defense. He has been leading a Jazz team that is not very good, but still better […]

It is the common refrain — you either live by the 3-pointer, or die by it. Many teams have tried to build their offensive strategy around ball spacing, drive and kicks and making long-range shots. This age of analytics has put even more emphasis on the long-range shot. Of course, the Playoffs can change that […]

At 37 years old, Jason Terry is clearly past his prime as a NBA player and just is not the sharpshooter or offensive presence he used to be. That became apparent in his lone season (more like half a season) with the Nets, where he ended up in the trade from the Celtics that also sent […]

Tom Thibodeau might as well be the ringmaster of one of the most difficult coaching/managing jobs in the NBA. In one circle, he has Derrick Rose and his minute maintenance. The growing frustration over his in-and-out-of-the-lineup status continues to be a storyline that prevents the Bulls from being considered among the league’s elite. Rose shows […]

This is a different Bucks team. The record tells you as much — 10-7 and fourth in the Eastern Conference entering Sunday’s games. This is not the 2014 Bucks. The team’s disaster of a season last year — Brandon Knight not adequately replacing Brandon Jennings‘ production, Larry Sanders‘ constant injuries and issues and O.J. Mayo‘s struggles […]

By the time the Grizzlies took the floor at Moda Center on Friday night, they already knew the big news around the league. Russell Westbrook had thunderously announced his return by outscoring the Knicks through one quarter. It was like Westbrook did not miss a beat. His team has fallen a bit back into the […]

Jeff Green heard a rumor. And he did not like it. Someone apparently reported Green wanted out of Boston and had asked for a trade. And so, out of the blue, Green blasted the report and put things to bed: Before you start, I just want to clear the air about some B.S. rumor that […]

Tyson Chandler changed the Mavericks with his defense. It was enough to lead them to a championship. When he arrived in New York, he created a different environment and ethic. His presence changed that team defensively and pushed them to the second seed in the East. Last year was an unmitigated disaster then. Chandler was […]

The Cavaliers were in the dumps. A four-game losing streak and questions about their offense and defense and everything. This was not how things were supposed to go. James came forward and said he had to be better. It was him that needed to improve and be better. A better leader. All that was to […]

What would you do if you really loved your favorite NBA team? Paint your face at a game? Sure! Buy all sorts of your favorite team’s gear? Of course!
How about quitting your day job to attend all 82 regular season games?
Well that is exactly what one Knicks super fan did!
After being unhappy as a lawyer in New York City, and finding out he was on the verge of being fired, this Knicks fan began the odyssey to follow his team.
This Knicks fan spoke with NBA Radio on Sirius XM about his commitment to be at every Knicks game (home and away) and admitted he appreciates the travel NBA players have to endure.

Toronto has the best fanbase in the NBA, at least according to the numbers. The Raptors have the highest home game attendance in the league right now with the Portland Trailblazers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and Miami Heat in that order. However, we all know that is not the order of the best fanbases in the […]

In this week’s MVP rankings, DeMarcus Cousins pulls ahead. It was just a week ago that Anthony Davis and Cousins combined for 52 points — 28 for Davis and 24 for Cousins. These are your two front runners for MVP. Their teams are not necessarily considered Playoff teams.
