hings were looking up for the Wizards. They really were. The final pillar of the Gilbert Arenas era had fallen as Andray Blatche was dishonorably discharged from the team that once believed he could be an elite forward in the league. It was the final step in a long and expensive cleansing process. Free at...

n a recent trip to Seattle I came face to face with an NBA relic. There was Key Arena, former home of the Seattle Supersonics, standing no more than a block from our hotel in an unassuming area of downtown. Arena staff were preparing the concourse for a WNBA game that night between the hometown...
hile sitting in his court-side seats at Time Warner Cable Arena last season, Michael Jordan was reminded why he didn’t come to these games anymore. Daydreaming of a golf green or a card table–or really anywhere other than a Bobcats game–Michael Jordan sat, longing for the final buzzer to sound. His Charlotte Bobcats were projected to...
ast week I suffered a great loss. There’s no real good way to put it: Stephon Marbury blocked me on twitter. This meant that I could no longer follow, mention, or retweet him–three things that I previously loved to do. And all sarcasm aside, I did honestly feel like this was a great personal loss....
One of the last trades to push through the deadline was also one of the most unexpected. The Denver Nuggets unloaded their recently signed star Nene to the Washington Wizards in exchange for noted on-court clown JaVale McGee. The Clippers also wanted a piece of the action, acquiring Nick Young for Brian Cook and a...
Much like College Basketball, the bulk of the trade deadline excitement occurred as the clock winded down towards zero. After Dwight Howard reluctantly made his intentions for next year clear, most teams began initiating Plan B. For the Lakers, that meant addressing some glaring roster holes and shedding some dead weight. The Lakers made multiple...
The field is set. It’s only a matter of time before the hysteria of the first weekend sets in. The game winners, the blow-outs, the upsets, and the Dick Vitale. Awesome. It’s a spectacle that is even greater than the product that they put out on the floor. Like most people, I don’t know a...
Last night featured a whirlwind of action. We could call it March Madness, but that’s probably trademarked, so we’ll call it NBA Basketball instead. And speaking of March Madness, go ahead and join our ESPN Bracket Pool. Thirteen games were played last night, and four of them went down to the wire. All four late...
Here is Episode 2 of the NBA’s ‘The Association’, which follows the Denver Nuggets through the highs and lows of an NBA season. Recently the Nuggets have been bit by the injury bug, missing both Nene and Danilo Gallinari for extended periods of time. What we’ve seen is Ty Lawson carrying his team and the...
Mr. Speaker, members of the Media, distinguished guests, and fellow NBA fans: That’s it. The first half of this lockout accelerated season is a wrap. With an average of eight games per night, there has been plenty of basketball to consume with very little time to digest it. (No, Boris Diaw, I’m not talking...
think I have probably seen these Jeremy Lin highlights fifteen or twenty times by now. There’s something about the way he captivates the crowd and his teammates that I really love. The Harvard Hero. Linsanity. The ShaoLIN Monk. It’s a great story. Great story, but it’s a little tough to portray a kid who had...
