Tweet of the Night: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to help Roy Hibbert with post game

Tweet of the Night: Kendall Marshall gets mistaken for an Israeli player

by

With a slew of injuries to key point guards for the Los Angeles Lakers, Kendall Marshall was brought in as an emergency replacement in mid-season for the team last season. He wasn’t expected to do much, but actually made quite a name for himself playing under Mike D’Antoni’s point-guard friendly offense, averaging eight points and a whopping 8.8 assists in just under 30 minutes. Almost instantly, he became a fan favorite. It was a feel-good story for the guard who took advantage

SH Blog: J.R. Smith says Knicks were a confused bunch, Cousins says Rondo is the best point guard

by

After coming off one of his best seasons ever and winning the Sixth Man of the Year award over Jamal Crawford in 2013, J.R. Smith spiraled down in the wrong direction last season. Due to off-season knee surgery, Smith had no time to work on his game or stay in shape. Consequently, he started the 2013-2014 season comically bad, scoring 11.7 points on just 32.8 percent shooting in November and 12.4 points on 36.8 percent shooting in December.  To be fair, Smith
