Such is life for Lamar Odom. After a whirlwind swirl of media attention amidst a plethora of allegations and accusations ranging from drugs to infidelity and having experienced terrible off-court tragedies, his life fell to pieces in the national media—both on and off the court. Odom, a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers who began

PODCAST: Lionel Hollins wants to coach the Detroit Pistons

by

I was a guest on Sirius XM’s NBA show today, which was co-hosted by former Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins. Turning the tables, I opened the segment — even though I was the interviewee — by asking Hollins why he wasn’t in Detroit taking command of the Pistons after the firing of Maurice Cheeks. Hollins came right out and said he is interested in the job, but that nobody from Detroit had reached out to contact him. [Read more…]

Tweet of the Night: Chris Kaman “connects” with Los Angeles Lakers fans

by

It hasn’t been the kind of season Chris Kaman expected it to be when he signed on with the Los Angeles Lakers for one year over the summer. He came in thinking he would be paired up with Pau Gasol in the starting lineup to make up an intriguing duo of seven footers in a wide-open Mike D’Antoni offense. Instead, he has been stuck in the doghouse for much of the season, often having to wonder if he made the right

Tweet of the Day: Nike Brings Kobe Bryant and Richard Sherman Together

by

Nike brought two of the most cerebral athletes together for a couple commercial shoots on Monday. The Beaverton, Oregon based shoe and apparel conglomerate paired five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant and recent Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman. The two star athletes were mutually enthusiastic about the opportunity to work in the same building. While the details of their advertisements are not public knowledge, it is rather fitting that the two would be featured together—both have had their battles with negative press (whether

Schayes: In the NBA, Sometimes You Can Go Home Again

by

Last week, stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett played a road game. But not just any road game.  It was perhaps the most significant road game of their careers. The future Hall of Famers returned for the first time to basketball-bonkers Boston, the city where they won hearts and championships. The former Celtics were given a warm welcome that included video tributes and had an emotional evening. In this era of free agency, many players have a similar experience. They move from a

May: Heat Look Like a Team Trying to Three-Peat

by

Only three coaches in NBA history have done what Erik Spoelstra is attempting to do in Miami.  One is dead. One is approaching 100 while in assisted living in Minnesota. The third is off the grid somewhere, presumably in Montana. The Heat are trying to become only the fourth franchise in NBA history to win three consecutive titles. The Lakers were the last to turn the trick, winning three in a row from 2000-2002. They were coached by Phil Jackson, who also
