No one can fault Kevin Durant for the emotions he displayed after losing to the Miami Heat in Game 5. Heading into the locker room, he embraced his mother in a touchy moment and shed some tears after realizing his impressive season had come to an abrupt end. Forget shame. The only thing Durant proved to the world is his level of desire and love for the game of basketball. Durant was also asked if he will take any time

LeBron James
LeBron James has rarely flashed a smile over the past two seasons due to the burden he put on himself with the decision, so it’s nice to see the man finally laughing, smiling and embracing the moment he has worked so hard for.

Mock Draft 4.0: Shuffling at the top

by

Our latest mock draft has some movement at the top. Not at the very top, where Anthony Davis is entrenched and will be going to the New Orleans Hornets. But right below him there has been some serious shuffling. Every player in slots 2 through 7 has changed positions. Some, like North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes, have skyrocketed through good workouts and interviews. Others, like Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger, have plummeted through medical red flags. And there was a trade this week between the

Mock Draft 4.0 — Part II

by

16. Houston Rockets – Perry Jones, PF, Baylor Jones is perhaps the biggest enigma in the draft because he has great size and special talent but never played to his potential in college.  However, he is very skilled and comfortable facing the basket.  Houston GM Daryl Morey needs to be bold here as there are questions about how much longer he can remain on the job without making the playoffs. 17.

SH Blog: Mark Cuban takes Skip Bayless to school

by

When Skip Bayless talks, most people take it with a grain of salt, to put it mildly. A few days ago, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban expressed his displeasure of having to listen to him, saying his 2-year-old son can spit better knowledge about the NBA than Bayless.
