Five Things to Watch: Minnesota Timberwolves

by

After failing for two decades to pair their franchise cornerstone – be it Kevin Garnett or Kevin Love – with a complementary superstar, the Minnesota Timberwolves finally have reason to believe they have found a perfect two-man combination for sustainable long-term success. With Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns on hand, Minnesota has the NBA’s most promising 1-2 punch since Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook joined forces with the Oklahoma City Thunder seven years ago.  So despite finishing last season with an NBA-worst 16 wins,

Tweet of the Night: Dorell Wright has advice for his brother Delon Wright

by

When sportswriters present unique stories with thoughts and quotes directly from the players they are covering, it provides fans with an opportunity to understand and connect with those players that they previously may not have known about. To a certain extent. When the players start writing their own stories – as if they were posting a personal blog entry – it makes that article ten times more interesting because now, every word is coming straight from the mind of the players themselves.

Should Have Seen This Coming? Not With The Media’s Love For Legendary Larry Brown

by

Larry Brown was like your grandfather. Or at least, that’s how everyone around college basketball described him. He was an unchallenged legend, revered as one of the game’s great teachers, a man who could parachute in to an irrelevant program in a borderline-irrelevant conference and turn it into a budding basketball hotbed.

by

The 2014-15 Houston Rockets were a feel-good story, shaking off major injuries and muted preseason forecasts to become the Western Conference’s second-best team. The 2015-16 Rockets, on the other hand, shouldn’t come as such a surprise. Following the bold offseason trade for former Denver point guard Ty Lawson, the story in Houston is back to being about what is, rather than what might be. In other words, GM Daryl Morey is finally “all-in” on his roster. While Lawson fills the obvious need of

Meet the man who owns 70 Kobe Bryant signature sneakers

by

It’s certainly no secret that Michael Jordan was the trailblazer of the signature shoe game, but Kobe Bryant has done a pretty good job over the last two decades of putting his stamp on the overall market. Other players may have overshadowed Kobe in the sneaker world, but one person who did not ignore Bryant’s body of work is @jefferrrson. The San Diego native has over 70 Kobe Bryant shoes, starting in 2009 when he bought the “Carpe Diem” colorway for the Nike
