Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki will more than likely go down as the best foreign player to ever grace the NBA hardwood. Not only did he revitalize the Mavericks franchise, he won an NBA title, kept the Mavs in title contention, and represented Germany basketball admirably. And now, Dirk will be featured in a documentary about his […]

LeBron James changed the game when he bolted Cleveland for Miami. This age of free agency and 24-hour news cycle created a world in which fans got excited about the rumors — JUST THE RUMORS — of a player leaving. The fact they all got blindsided by Miami swooping in made it more shocking. Players […]

Reddit shared the most hated teams in the NBA by state. Predictably, it is the Lakers and Heat. But wait, why does Delaware hate the Cavaliers? [h/t Kyle Newport of Bleacher Report]

For two years, we have waited for Derrick Rose. There have been glimpses of his return from injury. Pregame workouts in sweats, but barely anything wearing that familiar Bulls jersey. His 10-game cameo last year showed he was still trying to gain confidence at game speed. A torn meniscus stopped that process before it could […]
“As the second round of the 2003 draft puttered along, the Nets watched as teams ahead of them plucked every player in which New Jersey had interest. The team, fresh off an Atlantic Division win and an appearance in the NBA Finals, was so low on cash, it considered selling the pick to finance its summer league team.
“With none of their preferred choices on the board, the Nets brass selected Creighton forward Kyle Korver with the 51st pick — and immediately sold his draft rights to the Sixers for $125,000. That covered summer league. With the leftover cash, the Nets bought a new copy machine.”

Houston’s Summer League representative in Orlando was nothing. Literally it was nothing. Clint Capela joined the team in Las Vegas a week later. He was not expected even to sign, stashed away in Europe as the Rockets cleared cap room to make a run at big-name free agents. This was exactly why the Rockets sent […]
