What to Make of Dwight Howard’s Comments on Kobe Bryant and James Harden

Even though Dwight Howard has been one of the most dominant centers of his era, at 29 years old, what most NBA fans and analysts will talk about years after he’s retired is what surrounded Howard off the floor; the “Dwightmare” saga in Orlando, the “This Is Going To Be Fun” team in Los Angeles […]

Chris Paul puts on a dribbling clinic against 76ers

The Clippers’ Chris Paul is really good with the basketball. Paul and L.A. visited the lowly Sixers and CP3 decided he’d show the fans in the stands what dribbling is all about when he sliced up the Sixers’ defense and even did some trickery with the ball.

Blake Griffin does a great Austin Rivers impersonation

I guess being the head coach’s son doesn’t protect you from being the target of Blake Griffin. During a recent Clippers practice, Griffin was caught on film making fun of Austin Rivers, the son of head coach Doc Rivers.

Pelicans browing out gracefully

New Orleans wasn’t supposed to make the playoffs. The West didn’t appear to have any playoff vacancies, and if an outsider did crack the conference’s Top 8 slots, the best odds belonged to the Suns, not the Pelicans, considering that Phoenix missed the postseason with 48 wins a season ago. Yes, the Pelicans have Anthony […]

Former NBA big man Dikembe Mutombo was a great shot-blocker and one hell of a pick up artist with his legendary pick-up line, “Who wants to sex Mutombo?” But is it true?

Mozgov stars in epic TV commercial

What do you get when you combine low-budget graphics, the Cavs’ Timofey Movgov wearing a backwards Cavs jersey, and Timofey looking away from the TV camera? This! Why do I want more of these TV spots featuring Mozgov? Oh yeah, because they are epic!

DeRozan forgot Bulls’ Noah doesn’t play for Toronto

Hey DeMar, that guys, he’s not on your team. Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan found himself trapped defensively by two Bulls defenders. So what will he ever do? Obviously he needs to find an open RAPTORS TEAMMATE for himself, so who did he find? Oh just the Bulls’ Joakim Noah on the sidelines, in his shooting shirt, […]

Is the Western Conference overrated?

In last season’s triumphant Western Conference, 13 wins separated first-place San Antonio (62-20) from eighth-place Dallas (49-33), and ninth-place Phoenix, who won 48 games, missed the playoffs despite being, theoretically, better than all but two East teams.

Klay Thompson likes to shadow free-throw

You must have heard of shadow boxing or even shadow dancing. But how about shadow free-throwing? And that’s exactly what Golden State’s Klay Thompson did against the Wizards when his teammate was at the charity stripe and creeped up behind him to pretend as if he was shooting the free-throw.

The Knicks and Lakers are looking ahead to a possibly bright future

The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers are undoubtedly two of the NBA’s most popular franchises, which probably has something to do with them being based in the United States’ two biggest cities.
