This season, something important was restored in Charlotte. Decades ago, the NBA came to a college basketball-loving part of the United States, accompanied by a genuine buzz. The Hornets showed that there was more than enough basketball for a fan’s entertainment dollar in the Carolinas. That identity — the one carried by the likes of […]

Does Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas scoff at gravity? Against the Cavs, Thomas penetrated the lane and got surrounded by Cavs’ defenders but laughing in the face of the laws of gravity, Thomas faked out a defender then hung in the air for some twisty, turning in midair assist to Jonas Jerebko for the three pointer.

It just wasn’t his day from the field. Raptors’ Jonas Valanciunas didn’t have his shooting stroke with him recently as the big man missed point blank two shot attempts with this mouth piece at a paper cup. Yeah, that’s right, Jonas missed the rim of a cup (which was right in his face) as he […]

Talk about getting into the game. The Turkish Euroleague debuted the first ever jersey cam to give fans a very up close and personal look and feel at what it is to play at the pro-level. And it is pretty cool. The Turkish Airlines Euroleague became the first major professional sports league to have such […]

Seriously, what hasn’t Spurs’ Tim Duncan done to cement he is legendary? Last night’s Spurs-Rockets tussle had a lot riding on it with playoff implications abound once the final buzzer went off. With a Spurs win, the team launches into the third spot in the West. With a Rockets win, they secure the third spot […]

On numerous occasions, the Coach of the Year award has been given to the coach of the team with the best record, regardless of whether the guy actually did a great coaching job. In the last 15 years, it’s happened with Mike Brown, Byron Scott, Scott Brooks, Avery Johnson, and Sam Mitchell. However, with truly […]

I say let’s make this happen like now! The Warriors’ Stephen Curry is perhaps the best shooter in the league right now. His dad, Dell Curry, wasn’t such a bad shooter during his time in the NBA. But how would they fair against another father-son duo, the Clippers’ Doc Rivers and Austin Rivers in a […]
What a mean mug. Must have seen his stat line against the Clippers Wednesday night.

Despite the Spurs thrashing the Rockets last night, there was a moment of levity between James Harden and head coach Gregg Popovich. Or should I say a moment of facial hair levity. Pop, who sports a beard himself, got to chatting with the MVP candidate and it seems Pop admires Harden’s glorious beard. Jut give […]

The Atlanta Hawks have been on cruise control for awhile now thanks to locking up the No. 1 seed so early. Well, the Hawks bandwagon might have gotten a bit of a jolt with some injury news regarding Thabo Sefolosha: But he didn’t injure it in a game. He actually broke it in an incident […]

RIP Gary Harris’ ankles. The Denver guard’s once proud ankles were destroyed by Lakers’ Dwight Buycks in the recent Nuggets-Lakers game. Buycks crossed up Harris something fierce that Gary’s ankles failed to stay in front of Buycks that he collapsed to the court as Buycks nailed a three-pointer right on him as he laid on […]
