During the recruitment of Dwight Howard, you often heard the name Chandler Parsons attached to the Houston Rockets anytime there was news about making efforts to convince the center to join them. Most of us took the news that Parsons had been talking to Howard everyday with a grain of salt with the mindset of “as if he can really make a true difference.” But as it turns out, the forward played an enormous part in helping Howard make his decision.
Tweet of the Night: Jermaine O’Neal shows genuine excitement about playing for the Warriors
It had been known for some weeks that center Jermaine O’Neal would join the Golden State Warriors to help bolster their ever-improving defense, and the news became official on Tuesday when he signed with the team on a one-year, $2 million contract. O’Neal is turning 35 in October and is no longer the dominant player he once was. He has been injury-prone over the years, but under the well-known magical staff of the Phoenix Suns last season, the center was exceptionally
Tweet of the Night: Taj Gibson says goodbye to Nate Robinson
When 5’9″ reserve Nate Robinson was finally given a legitimate chance to be the focal point of an offense with the Chicago Bulls this past season, the guard showed just how devastating he can be when things are clicking. The Brooklyn Nets, ousted in the first round of the playoffs largely due to their inability to better-contain Robinson (and one missed dunk by C.J. Watson), can certainly vouch for that. When things aren’t always clicking, though, he has a way
SH Blog: World Peace explains how he knew Howard would leave for Houston
When Metta World Peace gives interviews, you don’t always expect comments with serious substance. This is not to say that the forward isn’t knowledgeable, but he’s usually more of an entertainer when questions are asked, and is generally very easygoing when it comes to addressing the media or fans. When he learned that the Los Angeles Lakers used the amnesty provision on him, he got through it by constantly joking about it on Twitter. World Peace can also be very blunt
Tweet of the Night: Damian Lillard explains why he’s always addressing haters
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard won Rookie of the Year honors this past season. He should thank No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis and coach Monty Williams for that one. Most in the media predicted that Davis would win the award before the start of the 2012-2013 season, but the forward suffered through some tough injuries (concussion, ankle) to begin the season and ended up missing 13 of his first 19 games. Although Davis looked promising throughout the season,
Tweet of the Night: David Lee shocked by Kent Bazemore’s dunk
During the 2012-2013 season as a rookie, Kent Bazemore of the Golden State Warriors was mostly recognized around the league as the guy that did this – also known as “Bazemoring” – during games and getting his car stuffed with popcorn. In the NBA Las Vegas Summer League, the guard’s presence has been felt much more on the basketball court, averaging 18 points – good for sixth best in the league. During Thursday’s tournament against the Dallas Mavericks as the top seed,
SH Blog: Pierce convinced Garnett to leave Boston, Wiggins wants to play for Raptors
After weeks of knowing that the trio of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry would join the Brooklyn Nets, they were finally introduced at the Barclays Center on Thursday afternoon. While all the reports were out on how everything came about and what pieces were needed to successfully get a blockbuster deal done between the Nets and the Boston Celtics, there was never an opportunity to hear how the trio coming from Boston really felt about what went down.
