Tweet of the Night: Magic Johnson and Micky Arison share condolences with Shaquille O’Neal

by

Growing up without his biological father, former superstar and current TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal’s life could have gone in a much darker direction. Thanks to his stepfather Phillip Harrison, however, O’Neal took the right path and became a legend in the NBA. You can hear O’Neal’s dedication and appreciation towards Mr. Harrison when his jersey was retired from the Staples Center last season, starting at the 1:50 mark: Although there are no official reports to confirm at the moment, it appears that

Bernucca: Will the $30 Million Player Become Extinct?

by

Like three to make two, the 10-second violation and low-top sneakers, the $30 million NBA player may become a thing of the past. A handful of stars have approached and even crossed the magical monetary mountaintop, which is something when you consider that the collective bargaining agreement has a maximum salary restraint. Michael Jordan – who else? – was the first player to make $30 million in one season, negotiating about an 800 percent raise after the 1995-96 season. That was Jordan’s

by

Say hello to your new starting center (or should we say old starting center), Mike Brown.

It was reported on Wednesday, first by ESPN’s Chris Broussard, that the Cleveland Cavaliers and the enigmatic center Andrew Bynum have come to an agreement on a two-year deal filled with incentives. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports has details: “The Cleveland Cavaliers will guarantee $6 million of a possible

SH Blog: LeBron vows to be much better, Deron Williams admits hiring Kidd is risky

by

LeBron James is struggling in the playoffs, and that means everyone is talking about his demise. When the King struggles – which he rarely does – it is always major news. Usually, his struggles stem from the inability of his teammates to step up and make plays. In Game 3 of the NBA Finals, however, that actually wasn’t the case. For once, LeBron didn’t have a whole lot to blame for his poor performance other than himself, and that’s exactly what

Hubbard: Leaving Los Angeles would be the Dwight thing to do

by

Early in Iron Man 3, the evil Aldrich Killian shows the beautiful Pepper Potts a 3D image of his brain. My immediate thought was: Dwight Howard. Yes, Lakers fans would love to get an idea of what is going on in that big brain, which seems to work slightly different than … well, every great player in NBA history. [Read more…]

Bernucca: Who is stepping up in the postseason?

by

One of the most intriguing elements of the NBA playoffs is what the spotlight reveals about certain players – especially those who weren’t expected to be in the spotlight at all. We expect established superstars such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant to welcome the pressure of the postseason and elevate their play. That is part of the reason they are among the game’s best players. It is also not that surprising to see very good players such as Stephen Curry and
