He was chosen by all 119 media members, whose voting habits remain somewhat questionable. [Read more…]
It seems to me we are all missing the obvious here. Dwight Howard has absolutely no intention of re-signing with the Lakers. Why should he? Have you looked at that roster? Howard is entering what should be the prime of his career. He turns 28 in December.

Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel is taking a ton of heat (pun intended) today for removing Roy Hibbert from the lineup for the final play of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals last night when LeBron James made a driving layup at the buzzer in overtime for a 103-102 victory.

Phil Jackson has been all over the news over the past week. It all started when the details of his new book was revealed about how he compared Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

The answer to that question, unfortunately, appears to be a resounding no for the foreseeable future. Here is what he told Arash Markazi
Game 1 between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers was full of heroic acts from various players. Chris “Birdman Birdman” Anderson was hitting clutch free throws, shot seven-of-seven from the field and came up with key defensive plays. Dwyane Wade was, at times, incredible on finishing plays at the rim. Chris Bosh, who was visibly absent on the glass throughout the game, grabbed a crucial offensive rebound in overtime (only his second rebound of the game) and converted on a
Every summer comes and goes and brings with it the joy of the NBA Playoffs as well as the intrigue of the offseason. The first major event of the offseason is the NBA Draft, which will occur June 27th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
