Joe Johnson’s new role with the Nets

Joe Johnson is about to step into a whole new world. He has left Atlanta for the bright lights of Brooklyn. He is part of a huge movement by a franchise that has been stuck in the cellar for a long time. Now they have a new place to play, a new look to the […]

Anderson Varejao promises not to flop

The NBA's new flopping policies appear to be working long before the season. A member of the "Flopper Hall of Fame" has submitted to its rule. Anderson "Flopsy" Varejao will not flop this season. Of course, his definition of flopping might be different than ours. Varejao made his promise to Jodie Valade of Cleveland.com: I'm […]

Brooklyn kicks its way onto the Knicks turf

Like a glacier cutting its way across the landscape, the Nets' move to Brooklyn from across the Hudson River has the potential to slowly carve out an entirely new landscape in the NBA's largest market.  New York is obviously no stranger to the two-team concept. But the Knicks have enjoyed quite a monopoly over  basketball […]

Nets Day Video: The Great Drazen Petrovic

Long before there was Manu Ginobili, Dirk Nowitzki, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol there was Drazen Petrovic. Petrovic was the first big-time foreign star in the NBA and proved that the game did not just belong in America. Drazen was a deadly outside shooter with a killer instinct. He dropped points like no other and there […]

Kings belong to Cousins and Evans says Cousins

He is enigmatic. He is funny. He is grumpy. He is Rasheed Wallace with a post game. He is DeMarcus Cousins.  Cousins might be the most talented all-around center in the game, or at least he might be soon. But he has some maturity issues he is dealing with because he is 21 and sometimes […]

Pablo Prigioni finally arrives States-side

Pablo Prigioni is an international legend. He was the engine for the Argentina team that won the bronze medal in 2008, averaging 7.1 points per game and 4.6 assists per game. And he would have been a big contributor to this year's Olympic team if not for an injury suffered just before the London Games. […]

The Lakers are still Kobe’s team, and Dwight’s just fine with that

I generally respect a lot of reporters.  Many of them do a great job covering their respective teams.  But sometimes a few of them ask lazy questions aimed at getting a reaction rather than getting information.  Because, as the success of horribly disgusting screaming matches like First Take tell us, we just loves us them […]

Knicks Day Video: The Night Willis Reed Fired Up The Garden

The New York Knicks franchise is full of many, and I mean many, history-making moments. From an NBA title, John Starks' dunk over the Bulls, players like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant tearing up the scoreboard to some of the NBA's greats wearing the Knicks uniform, there is no doubt New York truly is a […]

Ray Felton: “I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder”

The knock on Raymond Felton during his seven-year career has been about his weight and his overall shape. Year in and year out, it seems the only shape Felton has been in is “pear shape.” That was certainly the case in Portland last season where the point guard not only struggled with his conditioning but […]

Bynum’s injury bad omen for 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers training camp opened to some bad, yet not totally unexpected news. Andrew Bynum will miss three weeks with "knee discomfort." He will not miss any time in the regular season and so the new-look Sixers will not be without their now star center. Knee injuries have plagued Bynum throughout his career. It knocked […]

John Wall may be out until December

The Washington Wizards are having to bounce back after some tough personnel calls that left them dealing with the immaturity of guys like Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee. They have moved past those guys now though, and could be a team on the rise with a lot of young talent, and some solid veterans as […]

Garnett “lost” Ray Allen’s number, adds fuel to rivalry

The NBA season opens in four weeks with the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat on TNT. And when the Celtics land in Miami, don't expect the guys to call up old buddy Ray Allen for some post-game drinks at LIV… especially Kevin Garnett. Because according to KG,  "I don't have Ray's number anymore." The Celtics […]
