Tweet of the Day goes to T. J. Ford, who had nothing but positive things to say about Larry Bird as a leader and expressed his appreciation for him. The tweet came amid a surprising development, with Bird preparing to step down as the president of the Indiana Pacers (we’ll have it in our news section later today) just days after former C.E.O. Donnie Walsh was hired to be a part of the organization again in some capacity. The

Heisler: The Year the NBA Got Over the Hump

by

The year the NBA got over the hump, even if it didn’t initially look like it was possible … Let’s just say it was a good time for a memorable postseason, with the improbable rise of the precocious Thunder, until going up 1-0 over the Heat, which didn’t turn out to be comprised of choking, mercenary divas, after all. Otherwise, the 2011-12 season would have gone down as the one when the NBA locked the players out until Christmas, then jammed 66

Mike Miller
In a not-so-shocking development, Mike Miller will have his ailing back checked by one of the best (apparently) in Dr. Barth Green. Some have openly wondered whether Miller should retire – despite the fact that he is only 32 – due to a constant breakdown of his body, but judging by the tweet above, he doesn’t appear ready to call it quits just yet. His wife doesn’t think so either. After being a non-factor for much of the playoffs,

SH Blog: A complete highlight video of LeBron James in 2012 playoffs

by

The Miami Heat celebrated their 2011-2012 championship today with a parade, thanks in large part to LeBron James’ monstrous performance throughout the entire playoffs. James posted pedestrian numbers (for his standards) in his playoff run last season, averaging 23.7 points on 46.6 percent shooting, 8.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists. This postseason, however, his performance level returned to his do-it-all Cleveland days, minus the fourth quarter disappearances. With an improved offensive game and a willingness to play closer to the basket, James

by

The Miami Heat celebrated their NBA Championship with a parade today. With that, the story line of the 2011-2012 season finally came to a conclusion, which means the beginning of everything else from free agency to trade rumors. See the latest on Kyle Lowry, Steve Nash, Ray Allen, Brandon Jennings and more in the news items below. Chris Sheridan described Amare Stoudemire’s poor use of judgment in yesterday’s news, and now the NBA will investigate, according to Marc Berman: “A source

Draft: Seven Players Who’d Be Perfect Fits for Seven Teams

by

In the NBA draft, teams often default to selecting the “best player available.” They do that assuming the player will develop as projected and become an asset that allows for flexibility. However, sometimes those “best players” end up languishing behind an established veteran and never live up to expectations. It comes down to a simple truism: Players who land in the right situations often have the best chance to succeed. For example, the New York Knicks needed an explosive athlete who could defend

Tweet of the Day: Shane Battier

by

Shane Battier was kind enough to capture some of the celebratory moments during Heat Parade day, including this “cray” moment of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James having their individual moments with the championship trophy. Some of the better moments during the celebration includes an interview with Eddy Curry, who has never played a single playoff minute in his life, raucous cheers for Mike Miller and a video showing Mario Chalmers getting yelled at by everyone. The good

NBA Appeal of Lin/Novak Case Could Be Problematic

by

// NEW YORK — Free agency opens in less than a week, unless the New York Knicks go to court to halt it. Is that really possible? Well, nothing can be ruled out with the Knicks sitting in a state of limbo after the NBA said it would appeal an arbitrator’s decision granting full Bird rights to Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak (along with J.J. Hickson of the Portland Trail Blazers and Chauncey Billups of the Los Angeles Clippers.) If the ruling stands,
