The heart of the nation has been hanging heavily thinking about the senseless events that have left hundreds injured and three dead.

Always the cut up, Lakers' Dwight Howard was back at it again before they face the Rockets on the team's final home regular season game. Speaking to the media, Howard gave a rousing "300" movie-speech which including shout outs to Dr. Buss, injured Kobe Bryant, yelling for Pau Gasol to put his "big boy" pants […]

I don't think that Doc Rivers is afraid of anything, especially the Knicks During his successful playing and coaching careers in the NBA, Doc Rivers has heard plenty of criticism, something to be expected as the head coach of a high-profile team like the Celtics for almost 10 years and as a player for […]

With the best record in the Western Conference all wrapped up, the Oklahoma City Thunder do not have anything to play for with the Milwaukee Bucks coming to town tonight. The same cannot be said for Kevin Durant, who had a (very slim) shot at winning his fourth consecutive scoring title. Rather than risk injury […]

Tracy McGrady once scored 13 points in 30 seconds against the San Antonio Spurs. It was one of the most breath-taking and amazing scoring performances in NBA history. The fact that it happened against the vaunted Spurs defense on national TV made it all the more amazing. Things are perhaps coming full circle now. McGrady […]

If you grew up in the 1990s, one song just means basketball. That would the NBA on NBC theme song or "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh. Just like the theme song for the Masters, however, there were originally lyrics to Roundball Rock. And I think you will agree with John Tesh that they added something […]

The Spurs pretty much called it a season last night when they faced the Warriors as they sat Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Kawhi Leonard. Add the fact they also did not have Boris Diaw nor Manu Ginobili both out with injuries, it pretty much meant a loss for the Spurs and a nice win […]

This season, the second year pro is currently averaging 22 points, 5.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds and shooting 45% from the field in 57 games for the Cavs. Not only […]

Not long after Kobe Bryant was injured, a lot of people started wondering out loud whether the Los Angeles Lakers should use their amnesty clause on Kobe Bryant, shedding the gigantic $30 million price tag off their salary cap figure for next season.

Jordan played his college ball at Rutgers and was an on-and-off assistant there for a few seasons, so the moves make total sense For an embattled major public university like Rutgers, in the middle of an athletic scandal its administration has never seen before, rebuilding its stripped-down men's basketball program will be a massive, and […]

It was not quite what Dallas Mavericks fans wanted, but it is a nice consolation prize. The Mavs will be missing the playoffs for the first time in 13 years, but at least they finally made it to .500 so Dirk Nowitzki could shave away his "loser’s beard." Several Mavericks players made a pact in […]

Many NBA fans were probably introduced to Hugo the Hornet in editions of NBA Jam or NBA Showtime video games. The Hornets mascot was a perfect high flyer for the video games. As far as NBA mascots go, Hugo is one of the best in the NBA. Who else could make a Hornet not scary […]

Lakers' Kobe Bryant is already considered one of the most self-motivating player in the game. It doesn't take much for him to find an edge on the court to destroy the competition. And now that he is on the road to recovery after suffering a season-ending torn left Achilles heel injury, he is gathering up […]

The buzzards were circling anyhow, so Doug Collins might as well make it easy on a hard-luck franchise after a difficult season. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doug Collins will step down at the season's end, informing team ownership of his intention to forego the final year of his […]
