  • Kevin Durant Makes Street Ball Interesting While David Stern Gets Angry

    Kevin Durant scored 66 point. John Lucas III scores 60 the day after, while Durant scored 41 points. Who cares?!!! With the NFL making a rapid wake from lockout slumber, especially the Eagles signing anything and anyone that costs a bit of money. Baseball? I never really cared much for Baseball, not too much. So while the only good thing regarding the NBA is the owners and players actually meeting (with no love between the two sides), I guess some summer games in New York can actually be regarded as news.

  • NBA Players Going Overseas

    With no lockout news, progress or anything related, more and more players are signing with European teams and Big names (not including LeBron James) are tempted by the chance to actually play basketball in the near future.

  • NBA 2011-2012 Schedule is a Bad Joke at Best

    The NBA released its 2011-2012 schedule, with great games like the Chicago Bulls against the Dallas Mavericks to open the season. But right now, it’s more and more likely that the season won’t open on time, or at all. The Lockout looks stronger than ever.

  • NBA Owners and Players Not Talking as Lockout Continues

    The NBA lockout is nearly three weeks in effect, and there aren’t any meeting between owners, players or anything involving head honchos David Stern and Billy Hunter scheduled for the near future.

  • There’s Nothing Like the NBA and its All-Star Game

    Sorry NL, AL, Baseball, Home run derby and Robinson Cano fans. The MLB and its All-Star game are rather boring in comparison to the NBA.

  • Deron Williams New Besiktas Adventure

    Deron Williams is on the verge of signing for Turkish club Beskitas, which might signal the beginning of a lockout influenced mini-migration of NBA players across the Atlantic. Maybe even Kobe Bryant.

  • The New and Improved NBA Lockout is Now in Effect

    All roads were leading to this point, but not the owners, the players and the league did enough to stop it from happening. For the first time since 1998, the NBA has entered a lockout period and a very unknown future.

  • Unless Some Miracle Happens, We’re Going to Have an NBA Lockout

    No agreement on the length of the new labor deal. No agreement on the revenue sharing. There are other things as well, but despite David Stern’s fake optimism, the NBA seems on the inevitable path towards a lockout.

  • With no Progress Made in Friday Talks, NBA Lockout Seems Inevitable

    Numbers being thrown back and forth, cool T-Shirts from the players and the usual political words from David Stern. Bottom line – We don’t have a proposal, no agreement between the players and owners. The NBA Lockout is very near.

  • As Owners and Players Present Proposals Hoping to Avoid Lockout, Eyes Turn to Friday

    New hope or just glaring shots in the dark, aimed at nothing? Tuesday was the talk on friday – THE deadline. Now, we wait for friday, a day after the 2011 NBA drat, which hasn’t been getting the usual media coverage and talk it usually does. First of all, the talent pool this year isn’t as lucrative. Lockout notions are to blame. Sometimes, the talent isn’t that great. Although we can only be a judge of that in a few years I guess. For now, the future of the 2011-2012 NBA season is at hand.
