Expectedly, LeBron James leads all vote-getters in the early return of NBA All-Star Ballots. Unsurprisingly as well, Kobe Bryant is on pace to start for the Western Conference in the backcourt despite only making his return a week ago and appearing in just two games for the Lakers. That is to be expected, the All-Star […]

The Pacers recorded a major victory Tuesday night when they erased a 13-point deficit and defeated the Miami Heat. It meant a few things actually. It legitimated the Pacers' strong start to the season and proved that they are in the Heat's league. LeBron James may consider them a true rival, but he cannot deny […]

It is the season for giving and nothing summed this sentiment up than Grizzlies' Zach Randolph. During the recent Grizzlies-Thunder matchup, a special needs kid was in the stands and was pointing at Z-Bo's shooting shirt. He obviously wanted it and like a true gentleman, Z-Bo took the shirt right off his back and handed […]

Wednesday marked Doc Rivers' first game back in Boston as a head coach after his somewhat tumultuous departure departure this past summer. While he still had a game to coach, he might have been a little nervous about the reaction he would get from the Boston faithful. After all, he forced his way out like […]

Standing at 5-foot-9, one would think getting a layup or an easy dunk would be simple for most big men in the NBA when facing Kings Isaiah Thomas. But do not let this little guy fool you as Mavs' Bernard James, who stands at 6-foot-10, found out Tuesday night. James found himself all by himself […]

Quick: Who is the official outfitter for the NBA jerseys and their apparel? That should be easy. It is adidas. The shoe and apparel company makes all the officially licensed NBA jerseys and gear you can buy at the NBA Store. You want your Kobe Bryant Lakers jersey? It is not made by Nike. Who […]

Royce White has a lot of time on his hands these days, just enough minutes and hours to point fingers as to why he is a man without an NBA team right now. White — who has been at the center of the league's story involving mental health issues since he was drafted out of […]

It is early December, and so looking at the standings is probably not the healthiest thing for anyone to do. Really, watching Eastern Conference basketball where there are only three teams above .500 and every team is within five games of the final Playoff spot, minus the top two teams the Heat and the Pacers.

File this video in the "never thought I would see that one." An interesting road trip for the Clippers that has already included a fan walking onto the court to tap Kyrie Irving on the shoulder and beg him to stay got that much weirder when DeAndre Jordan literally had the city of Los Angeles […]

In the recent contest between the Knicks and Nets, J.R. Smith found himself being guarded by Nets' Shaun Livingston which resulted in J.R. putting Livingston on his personal highlight reel. With a smooth crossover dribble, Smith just broke Livingston's ankles sending him to the court. It was utterly sick. Check out Smith sending Shaun to […]

Stephen Jackson has been angling for a return to the NBA ever since the Spurs unceremoniously and surprisingly dumped him in early April before their Finals run. Jackson averaged 6.2 points per game and shot 27.1 percent from beyond the arc in 55 games. His skills were clearly deteriorating, but the Spurs liked having him […]

Don’t look now, but the New York Knicks are up to their old tricks again. After dropping nine straight games (a losing streak snapped Thursday against the hapless Nets), coping with continuous headlines calling for Mike Woodson’s head and even some trade rumors surrounding their costly roster, the Knicks won two games in a row […]

{youtube}ddGhPW9GvgQ{/youtube} Kobe Bryant returned to the court under a triumphant ovation. It did not matter that he committed eight turnovers and played just less than 28 minutes of game action. Or that he missed seven of his nine shots or that he was a -9 on the floor. Or that the Raptors ended up winning […]
