It was eerily quiet last night on my cell phone, no texts, no Facebook alerts, no Twitter mentions, as it seems all the Lebron supporters went into hiding. Game 3 was dominated by the San Antonio Spurs and Lebron James was a non-factor for the second straight game. The Spurs took a 2-1 series lead …

In the past two days a pair of NBA legends decided to hang them up and call it a career. Both Jason Kidd and Grant Hill will forever be linked in the archives of NBA history and there is no doubt that both are two of the most iconic players of my generation. In the …

Remember when Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert made this asinine statement: “I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE” Well I guess we all can’t be Nostradamus, but somehow after his ridiculous letter he’s been rewarded with a #1 overall pick in 2011 with …

This whole thing is beginning to blow my mind. The NBA creates a team, it leaves and goes to another city, then creates another team for the original city that lost their team. The original team that moved wants to change their team name and the new team replacing the original team wants to adopt …

The first round is complete and the results have been to my liking. We had some amazing games, incredible atmospheres, star players getting ejected in their final games and the team that guaranteed victory over the Heat got swept. I was pretty close with my predictions so that’s a plus as well but more importantly …

Is there a better way to spend your 4/20 (April 20th) than watching playoff basketball? Okay yes there is, but it depends on what state you live in. Anyways I digress, the key here is we finally have some meaningful NBA basketball. The Eastern Conference seems to have been decided since January whereas the West …

I can say I’m still in a state of shock after waking up to news that Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles in the final minutes of last night’s game against the Golden State Warriors. It was game #80 of the season and based on the minutes Bryant has had to play it might as well …

This past week Kobe Bryant joined the Mount Rushmore of NBA scoring by surpassing Wilt Chamberlain for 4th all-time. Coincidentally, Bryant also broke Wilt Chamberlain’s Philadelphia area high school career scoring record where Bryant finished at 2,883 points compared to Wilt’s 2,252. Chamberlain still holds a one-up on Bryant, having the most points scored in …

I think the trophy is already being engraved for Lebron’s 4th MVP Award which would tie him for 4th most all time with Wilt Chamberlain. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (6), Michael Jordan (5) and Bill Russell (5) would have more. Statistically, Lebron’s averages are comparable to the past few years (27-7-8) but what impresses me most …

With Monday night’s win over the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat have the 2nd longest winning streak in NBA history at 23 games and tonight they extended it yet another game. Only the Los Angeles Lakers have a longer streak at 33 games. Previously the ’07/08 Houston Rockets held the second best streak at 22 …

I know you’ve all been wanting to know just how old the New York Knicks roster is, so let’s break it down by age. The Knicks average age is 31.8, oldest in the NBA. The youngest team is the Houston Rockets at 23.9 years. The Rockets oldest player is Francisco Garcia at a salty 31 …

The greatest basketball player ever to play the game turns 50 years old today. The memories are endless. My passion for Jordan has been well documented, he’s the reason I continue to love basketball to this day. He’s the reason for me wearing the #23 all the way through college. And that’s the reason why …

Now for the dramatic conclusion of my thoughts around the 2013 NBA Hardwood Classics uniforms from 1996-1997 worn this season. I do have to get credit to NBA2k13 where I took these screenshots from. All the players are absolutely spitting images of their real life selves. The hardest part was deciding who to choose the …

Every now and then the monotony of an 82 game season needs some flavor. Day in and day out the same old cookie-cutter jerseys, but the NBA has a great annual tradition of bringing back the Hardwood Classics. Also known as “throwback jerseys” or in terms of coolness “The Anti Latin Nights Jersey”. This year’s …

The world’s most glamorous pick-up game has announced it’s starters and in typical fashion the fans’ have selected via their popularity contest criteria. It’s pretty laughable that Dwight Howard and Kevin Garnett are All-Star starters, especially given the disappointing performances thus far from both of their teams. Howard’s numbers (points/rebounds/blocks) are still impressive even if …

Rarely do I like to call someone the “worst in the league” but I think this season Austin Rivers is poster child for my Anti-All Star Team. It’s tough to give that title to a rookie but given his draft status, given the amount of minutes he’s received this season and his statistical performance he …

The Los Angeles Lakers are down 3 points to the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Center, it’s the Western Conference Semi-Finals Game 7 and there is 14 seconds left. The in-bounds goes to Nash, he creates and kicks out to Kobe for a 3 pointer and it rims out. Dwight Howard hovering in the paint …

David Stern is such a fraud. He’s going to fine the San Antonio Spurs $250,000 for resting healthy players (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Green) in order to best manage their championship run by passing on a Thursday night game in November against the Miami Heat. But Stern fines the teams (plural) who purposely tank an …

“I’m Giving You, On Count Of Three. To Show Your Stuff, Or Let It Be…I’m Telling You, Just Watch Your Mouth. I Know Your Game, What You’re About. Well They Say The Sky’s The Limit, And To Me That’s Really True. But My Friend You Have Seen Nothing. Just Wait ‘Til I Get Through…Because I’m Bad, I’m Bad. Bad Bad-Really, Really Bad…” I think the best way to …

It’s been a long time coming but the NBA is back tonight. A full 82 game season will tip off tonight and we’ll see who will rise to the occasion and who will under-achieve. The Miami Heat are the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder shook up their roster by trading James Harden, the Los …
