With the exception of the Las Vegas oddsmakers, most people are writing the Chicago Bulls out of playoff contention for this season thanks to Derrick Rose's torn ACL and MCL. But are they still playoff contenders in what is a lopsided Eastern Conference? Reserve power forward Taj Gibson think told ESPN Chicago he thinks the […]

Erik Spoelstra spent time in Eugene, Ore., last summer trying to unlock secrets to Chip Kelly's fast-paced offense in football. Oregon has spent much of the last four years running a no-huddle, never-stop-coming-at-you offense that puts up points as quickly as they get off plays in a game and leaves defenses gasping for air. Spoelstra […]

Andray Blatche does not have an NBA team. He needs somebody to want him in a bad way, and is hoping to convince the Brooklyn Nets they need his services. He played in only 26 games last season for the Washington Wizards, averaging 8.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per contest. The Wizards have since used […]

With Jeremy Lin headed off to Houston to play for the Rockets, he and Rajon Rondo are no longer division rivals. The two point guards will only see each other twice next season instead of the four times they would play if Lin was still on the Knicks. But there is still a potential rivalry […]

This coming Friday, the 14-time all-star and Indiana Pacers legend will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame by his sister, Cheryl Miller. He […]

Monta Ellis is a polarizing player. That says nothing about who he is off the court or what kind of teammate he is. His playing style to this point in his career and the skills he has shown are the kind of thing that make for good philosophical debate in the NBA. Can a small […]

I was going to do a nifty little gimmick for this piece where I started each paragraph with the name of an NBA point guard that I think is better than Miami Heat PG Mario Chalmers. Then I realized that there is no way I could write that many paragraphs unless I started making new […]

I am as uncomfortable writing this as you are reading it. It would be more uncomfortable for everyone to hear that Kris Humphries does have Herpes though, and I guess he doesn't. A woman he courted prior to falling in love with and subsequently marrying Kim Kardashian alleged recently that the Hump gave her […]

Remember that time Deron Williams showed up and schooled us when were were shooting around at the park?! That is the tale the youngsters at Tillary Park in Brooklyn will be recounting for years to come and will likely share with their own kids too. A great story — true also for the Brooklyn Nets […]

So imagine if you are a kid, just playing a pop-a-shot arcade game, knocking down some shot when Los Angeles Lakers' Dwight Howard comes in and proceeds to block your shots. Well that's exactly what happened while Howard was in China playing a game of Pop-a-Shot versus a fan. In the video below, Howard is […]

Athletes are well known for their interesting purchases and vision of themselves. It is a different culture. When you have millions of dollars and everyone has told you how great you are for your entire life, you might have a pretty big ego and might want to show it off some. That is how […]

When Blake Griffin got hurt during Olympic training camp and was forced to sit out the London Games, there had to be some worry that it might affect his NBA season for the Los Angeles Clippers as well. But Griffin says there is nothing to worry about and there are no lasting effects from the […]
