VIDEO: Adios, Mike D’Antoni; That Was Some Legacy You Left

by

So we close the door on the Mike D’Antoni era in Los Angeles. OK, we slam the door. At least that is what we would do if we were Lakers fans, whose hopes were astronomically high at the start of the D’Antoni era, and whose egos and now black and blue after the worst season in franchise history. The Lakers had nine non-sellouts, set a team record for losses (55), dropped a game against the Clippers by 48 points, and became second-class

Scotto: Should Steve Kerr Coach the Knicks?

by

Steve Kerr is the consensus frontrunner to become New York’s head coach, but should he be? Is Kerr the coach that will convince Carmelo Anthony he can win a championship if he re-signs with the Knicks? How will veterans like Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith, who both criticized Mike Woodson – even after Chandler won Defensive Player of the Year and Smith won Sixth Man of the Year under Woodson’s guidance  – respond to Kerr? For better or worse, Phil Jackson is going

by

By now, we all know that Phil Jackson is looking to make some major changes within the New York Knicks organization. He has fired Mike Woodson and his coaching staff, is making internal changes (or at least trying to do so with some resistance from Jim Dolan), has already stated that he will move forward with or without Carmelo Anthony, and will soon hire a new coach. Whether he’s doing everything correctly remains to be seen, but at the very least,

SH Blog: Durant defiant about Tony Allen’s defense, Parsons says he’s better than Batum

by

Kevin Durant has had one of the most prolific seasons we have ever seen, and he will run away with the  MVP award for his efforts in 2014. Part of what has made him so great is the efficient way in which he has totally dominated the competition. He averaged a whopping 32 points on 50.3 percent shooting from the field. His true shooting percentage (including field goal, 3-pointers and free throws) came out to 63.5 percent, which is truly ridiculous. When
