The Kings will get their new arena. A city and county plan to fund the stadium was completed and new owner Vivek Ranadive is taking over for George and Gavin Maloof. There is still plenty of bad blood though over how the Maloofs nearly derailed the arena plan — let alone tried to sneak the […]

Even if the NBA does not have a standing-team presence in Seattle, Kevin Durant is one former Sonic who has not forgotten where he comes from. On Sunday in Seattle, Durant put on a show and let fans know exactly where his heart is at while playing in the Jamal Crawford Summer Pro-AM. While area […]

If the NBA ever decided to bring back the old-timers game for NBA All-Star Weekend, they might be treated to the same feats that Michael Jordan treated his campers to at the Flight School Camp at UC-Santa Barbara. We do not have the video, but we do have this wonderful Twitter photo as proof that […]

New York will be hosting the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend. Which arena hosts teh game is still a question, but events will spread throughout the city using both Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center for the All-Star Weekend festivities.

It is August, the schedule has been released and the Philadelphia 76ers still do not have a coach. New general manager Sam Hinkie has taken his time in rebuilding the Sixers from the ground up. He traded all-star point guard Jrue Holiday and drafted Nerlens Noel and his still-injured torn ACL. That would be the […]

It is not uncommon for rabid fans to fawn over musicians or actors. Recall "Beatle-mania" and throngs of women crying over Elvis Presley? Well that over-emotional type fan is still living strong and recently, a fan of Lakers' Kobe Bryant let out his feeling over his NBA idol. Bryant was in China on a Nike […]

Come this season in Detroit, we will find out if Brandon Jennings is a man of his word or a Chris Paul doppelganger.
