Professional basketball may not be coming back to Seattle this year, but that doesn’t mean Kevin Durant can’t still pay his former city tribute. Durant participated in Jamal Crawford’s Summer Pro-Am in Seattle this weekend, and while his presence was bittersweet, he was given a warm welcome. [Read more…]
A year ago yesterday, Dwight Howard was finally traded. And now, I think we can comfortably say that the Magic won that deal. For one thing, they’re the only ones with any parts remaining, and at this point, the less said about the Lakers’ 2012-13 season, the better. Andre Iguodala is a Warrior, Andrew Bynum is a Cavalier (and of course, never saw the floor in Philly), and Dwight is in Houston. Even Earl Clark isn’t with the Lakers any
Damian Lillard quickly became a standout player in the NBA after his breakout rookie season in Portland last year, but the Blazers’ second-year guard is offering some advice to young players that may be the ‘shot happy’ type. Young players… That place so much value on “gettin buckets” , how valuable R U when you’re on a team that doesn’t need U to “get buckets” — Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard) August 11, 2013 The reigning Rookie of the Year can back up his tweet
Last season’s Euroleague scoring champion, Bobby Brown, has until August 15th to exercise the NBA out in the contract he signed in China with the DongGuan Leopards. With the deadline approaching, will the super scoring guard get a second chance in the NBA? The Knicks were considering him, but went for Beno Udrih instead. Will anybody else go after him in the next couple days? Bobby Brown is a 28-year old, lighting quick, 6’1” point guard who can score at will
Miami Heat All-Star LeBron James has been known to be very generous and always talks about his days at Akron, especially at his high school St. Vincent-St. Mary. This time, the Akron-bred NBA superstar gave back to his high school football team, for which he was also an All-State wide receiver. James unveiled St. Vincent-St. Mary’s new football uniforms, which were created by Nike and LeBron himself. The new uniforms are called the new LeBron X Nike, exclusive uniforms to only
The great ones are great for a reason, the game never stops and neither do they. LeBron James has been working hard all summer to come back even better than he was last year. Is that even possible? In a recent interview with CBS Sports, James made it clear that he wouldn’t settle for anything less than perfection. “I’m still getting better,” he said. “I don’t want to be the same player I was this past season, I want to come into
NFL training camps opened this week, and, living in Baltimore, it’s hard not to notice the glaring absence of two Ravens legends, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. Lewis retired, of course, but Reed is still in the NFL, with the Houston Texans. It kind of leaves a weird metaphorical taste in my mouth, like when Karl Malone (a personal favorite for obvious name-related reasons) went to the Lakers. Of course, this is nothing new in sports. Michael Jordan played for
Not everyone in the NBA shares all their thoughts about important or relevant matters going on around the league, but it appears some – at the very least – are aware of them. Earlier in the past week, Shabazz Muhammad was sent home from the NBA rookie transition program for having a female in his bedroom – a violation of the rules. Other than Matt Barnes, not many had much to say about the rookie’s lapse in judgment. Brooklyn Nets point
