Did you ever have a shoe you really wanted growing up and couldn't get it for one reason or another? Mine were the Nike Air Zoom Flight '96, which Dominique Wilkins wore his sole year as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. I couldn't afford them at the time. Shoes don't brought back a […]

In the 2013 free agent class, Dwight Howard is the king of the class. No one is quite sure what his summer plans are (although he might). Chris Paul too is set to become a free agent, but many assume he will stay with the Clippers. Same goes for Paul Pierce and the Celtics. Andre […]

It took a while for Minnesota's Ricky Rubio to make his way back on the court after dealing with a knee injury but he sure showed he still has that flare for the game. In his first game back versus Dallas, Rubio came off the bench and notched 8 points and 9 assists in 18 […]

Andrew Bynum has yet to see the floor as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, so we are still waiting to see what he will look like finally playing outside the shadow of former teammate Kobe Bryant. I would think that playing alongside Kobe would be a good thing. He draws the majority of the […]

This season has been a struggle for the Lakers and Dwight Howard. Instead of waiting the year out and establishing a reliable sample size before making conclusions, some writers are jumping to the idea that Howard can't fit with LA and should be traded. Note: These "writers" suck and are nothing more than page view […]

Charles Barkley is never one to be short of an opinion. The New York Knicks are never short of opinions on their performance. It was only natural that Chuck would proffer a critique of the Knicks and their surprisingly potent NBA season to date. Newsday quotes Barkley as such: Everybody in New York thinks the Knicks are […]

December 15 was a big day in the NBA trade market. Now, a big group of players who signed contracts in the offseason can be traded away by their respective teams. This past Saturday could be considered the official start of trade season. Whether a player is unhappy with his current situation or a team is […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Lin returns It was not so long ago that Jeremy Lin was winning the hearts of the nation and New York with his exuberant play and underdog story. It helped him get his contract with […]

Houston Rockets (11-12) vs. New York Knicks (18-5) 7:30 p.m./NBATV The Spurs are playing the Thunder tonight in a Western Conference Finals rematch. And remembering the first game, whcih ended on a buzzer beater from Tony Parker, this should be the game to watch tonight. But, lo, the savior returns to his old stomping grounds. […]

Andre Drummond disappointed in his only year at Connecticut. This was the most highly recruited center in the nation and even had himself reclassified so that he could play at Connecticut a year earlier. This was a guy with the complete package. Athleticism, size, a knack for scoring and those monstrous jams. All those adjectives […]

The Magic, of all teams, kicked off a debate that has been plaguing the NBA since Gregg Popovich started fouling Shaquille O'Neal, or maybe the strategy even dates back to Wilt Chamberlain and his famous clanking ability from the so-called charity stripe. From a strategy perspective, it makes sense. If Howard is shooting only 49.2 […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Lillard has his moment… again Portland had blown a 16-point second half lead. The Hornets were spent trying to get back but Austin Rivers managed a deep 3-pointer to tie the game. Shortly after, LaMarcus […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: Hola, Ricky Many NBA fans were gasping when they saw Ricky Rubio crumpled on the floor late in a game against the Lakers last February. It was one of those non-contact injuries where everyone who […]

Golden State Warriors (15-8) vs. Atlanta Hawks (14-6) 7 p.m. At the mid-point of December, no team may be as surprising as Golden State. The Warriors have a couple of nice players in Stephen Curry, David Lee and Klay Thompson, but no one near a superstar level at this point and a history of not […]

Every morning, we will give you five things from the night before in the NBA to start your day. 1: A mournful embrace The best moment of Friday's nights basketball games had nothing to do with a sport. Nothing to do with a dunk, a shot, a block, a defensive play, an assist. It was […]
