Tweet of the Night: Nick Van Exel reacts to Kobe Bryant being ranked 236
Anytime a well-known entity produces the ranking of players before the beginning of a season, there’s some level of controversy because everyone has an opinion about the value of a player.

Five Things To Watch: Oklahoma City Thunder
One couldn’t have imagined a worse outcome for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2014-15 season. A massive plague of injuries kept the team below full strength for the entire campaign. Specifically, Kevin Durant missed 55 games, Serge Ibaka missed 18 games and Russell Westbrook missed 15 games.

It’s not easy to take an 11-hour flight, but that’s what former NBA player and current Maccabi Tel Aviv point guard Jordan Farmar was getting ready for on Sunday afternoon as he slowly got dressed in the locker room inside Madison Square Garden. After a two-city tour in NBA arenas, Farmar and his teammates were about to head back to Israel, traveling even further away from his native Los Angeles.
