KDFM radio in Texas reports that Oklahoma City Thunder big man Kendrick Perkins was arrested early Saturday morning. He is charged public intoxication and disorderly conduct. It’s not known if he was out and about just acting the fool and being reckless, or if he’s just an annoying drunk. Like, maybe he just kept telling [...]
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is apparently open to playing in China during the lockout, as are many other players. But, according to his agent, he has yet to actually receive any offers. “If offers are made down the road, will they be looked at? Absolutely,” Henry Thomas told ESPN.com. There were previous reports that [...]
Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is 7′ 6″ tall and has been dealing with the foot problems that go with that. That’s 310 lbs. on your feet constantly. It actually makes Shaquille O’Neal’s career that much more impressive. These are big dudes whose feet and knees can only take so much. And so Yao has [...]
Prior to the 2009-2010 season, the Portland Trailblazers signed Brandon Roy to a five-year, max contract worth $80 million. But lately, he’s had knee problems that have reduced him to a shell of his former self. Could the Blazers have seen this coming? According to John Canzano of the Oregonian newspaper in Southwest Ohio, Kevin [...]
Remember how the Sacramento Kings signed former first-round pick Antoine Wright to a one-year deal last year and then unceremoniously cut him after just seven games? Neither do we. However, Wright clearly remembers it and he tells SI.com in detail what his issues were with the Kings. It should be duly noted that Wright had [...]
While we don’t think that there will be a one-hour television special (but you never know) where Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard tells the world where he’ll play next, this could be just as big. Howard is up for free agency and Orlando is obviously praying that he stays with them. But, Howard tells [...]
We hear these kinds of rumors all the time and it’s always so tough to tell if they are true. We heard a while ago that Delonte West was getting it on with LeBron’s mom, and that’s why LeBron was playing poorly at the time. And now, Stephen A. Smith is passing along a rumor [...]
Houston Rockets fans that were hoping to get Yao Ming back in some sort of reasonable time frame, might want to adjust their expectations. Yao has been out for what seems like forever (it’s actually been since last December) with a stress fracture in his left ankle. It’s not his fault. He’s a 7′ 5″ [...]
The Dallas Mavericks smacked the Miami Heat right back Tuesday night to even the series at 2-2. And in doing so, the Mavericks held LeBron James to eight points…his lowest point total in 90 playoff games. On Wednesday, DeShawn Stevenson said that LeBron “checked out” of Game 4. Maybe not the brightest idea to poke [...]
Shaquille O’Neal has decided to retire and, understandably, it has hit fans quite hard. Fans across the nation are absolutely devastated that Shaq will no longer be performing for their entertainment. “So why the hell would I even go to the movies anymore?,” asked a distraught Sharon Englehart outside of a recently closed Blockbuster Video [...]
One of the big questions in the NBA right now is what will happen to Orlando Magic big man Dwight Howard? Many think it’s a foregone conclusion that he ends up in Los Angeles playing for the Lakers. But, sources tell Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore that Howard actually spent Memorial Day weekend working [...]
Kobe Bryant entered the NBA straight out of high school, but that was a long time ago. 1996 to be exact. He’ll be 33-years old in August and while he’s not ancient, he isn’t a little kid anymore either. And he’s got a lot of basketball wear him since he’s been in the NBA for [...]
It didn’t take long for the Los Angeles Lakers to find a replacement for Phil Jackson. Not too long after guys like Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom were thoroughly embarrassing themselves as they got rocked by the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers have agreed to a contract with former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown. “Deal is [...]
In case you didn’t notice, and judging by the ratings you didn’t, the NBA draft lottery was met with some controversy on Tuesday night after the Cleveland Cavaliers miraculously ended up with the No. 1- and No. 4-overall picks in this year’s draft. Some have chirped that the lottery is fixed, but most of those [...]
The Boston Celtics had been hoping that they’d get center Shaquille O’Neal back before the end of the Miami Heat series, but that’s not looking good. Shaq suffered a setback with his Achilles/calf injury and is doubtful for Game 5. The Celtics are down 3-1, so even if they can muster a comeback, it’s highly [...]
Most fans of the Philadelphia 76ers are done with Andre Iguodala and his exorbitant contract. They are tired of him taking ridiculous shots on the final possession or launching three-pointers that have no chance or lowering his shoulder and getting called for blatant charges. Nope, not with him set to make $13.5 million next season. [...]
The two-time defending Los Angeles Lakers were the No. 2 seed in the NBA playoffs this year. After a win in round one, they ran smack into the Dallas Mavericks, who dropped a thorough beatdown on the Lakeshow. But it wasn’t just that they lost, it was how they lost. In Game 1 they blew [...]
Everyone keeps talking about this switch that the Los Angeles Lakers will theoretically find and turn on. But, after the fell to the Dallas Mavericks again last night, we aren’t so sure that it even exists. The Lakers are down 3-0 in the series and it’s not looking good. Kobe scored 17 points on 8-of-16 [...]
In 2007, the Portland Trailblazers were faced with a dilemma with the first pick in the NBA draft: Greg Oden or Kevin Durant. They opted for Oden, and since Durant is already one of the best players in the NBA and Oden can’t stop being injured, it’s safe to say they made the right choice. [...]
The last thing that Chicago Bulls fans wanted to see what uber-stud Derrick Rose leaving Saturday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers with a limp. He’s definitely got a sprained ankle, but he didn’t seem too concerned about it on Saturday. “I’m good,” said Rose. “If anything, I’ll be able to rest for a couple of [...]
The Phoenix Suns are facing a very serious dilemma that actually isn’t a dilemma at all. They have to decide what they want to do with aging guard Vince Carter. And it would be absolute Vinsanity to keep him. They could waive him and owe him $4 million (imagine getting that kind of money to [...]
The NBA has fined Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant $100,000 for uttering a gay slur that just happened to get caught on TNT’s cameras. Apparently, he yelled “Bennie!” toward referee Bernie Adams, before adding a homophobic remark that the NBA clearly didn’t appreciate. Announcer Steve Kerr heard it and quickly tried to move on [...]
Denver Nuggets second-year point guard Ty Lawson basically told everyone last night that they should know. They should know that this dude is not playing around. In a win over the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves, Lawson set an NBA record and then gave away a couple more. He set the record by making his first 10 [...]
More bad news for the Milwaukee Bucks. First, they find out that they are 3.5 games out of the playoffs and 14 games under .500. Bummer. Now, they are going to lose their big man Andrew Bogut for the rest of the year because of the bum elbow he’s played with all season. Photo Caption: [...]
We all love Kobe Bryant, right? No? Okay, then forget that lede. Let me start over. Some people love Kobe Bryant. Others don’t. But, that has nothing to do with this post. So forget I even mentioned it. We wanted to pass this along because we think it’s strange. There is video here that clearly [...]
