NBA Rumors – Dwight Howard & Chris Paul Want to Play Together
Superstars want to play together, even if it might mean less money. For the sake of having fun, and to win titles.

Most Appearances in the NBA Finals
Two relatively young franchises will meet in the 2013 NBA finals; the Miami Heat, making it for the fourth time in franchise history, and the Spurs, making it for a fifth time, hoping to keep their perfect record.

NBA Rumors – Dwight Howard Wants to Play for the Houston Rockets & Dallas Mavericks
Don’t close the door on the Los Angeles Lakers just yet, the hardest team in the NBA to say no to. But Dwight Howard isn’t going to make it easy.

Chris Paul & Dwight Howard Present – The LA Exodus
There are more than just two players heading into free agency in 2013, but only two are what really interests most of the NBA.

Los Angeles Lakers – What’s Next?
No matter what kind of mutterings you’ll hear, the Los Angeles Lakers failed in the 2012-2013 NBA season, barely making it into the playoffs and getting swept in the first round. Kobe Bryant will be back eventually, hopefully not too far from his ability from before the injury.

San Antonio Spurs – The Final Nail in the Lakers Coffin
It seems like the San Antonio Spurs kept improving as the series went on, while their rivals sank into great despair with their chances slowly being eliminated off the board. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan didn’t need to play for most of the second half as the Los Angeles Lakers failed to show up for the two home games in the series, getting swept in the most humiliating fashion, barely putting up a fight.
