Before the 2011-12 season began, no one in the basketball world thought a Harvard alum named Jeremy Lin would become the Tim Tebow-like figure in the NBA. And no one in their right mind thought the New York Knicks would let their media darling slip between their fingers. Well, as of Tuesday's 10:59 p.m. CST deadline to sign the offer sheet by
Throughout the condensed 2011-12 NBA season, there have been quite a few injuries because of the grueling 66-games in four months format. Add the Chicago Bulls' superstar Derrick Rose to the list. Of course, we all know the season was irregular because of the lockout that began in July of 2011 and ended in December. Instead of taking its
Since Dwight Howard made the decision to stay with the Orlando Magic instead of optioning out of his contract, the Magic have beaten New Jersey Nets, but lost to the Miami Heat (10 points) and the Chicago Bulls (26).

The "Answer" aka Allen Iverson is going to host a two-day basketball tournament in Las Vegas. Yes, one of the best scorers the NBA has ever seen is not done with basketball just yet.

The NBA lockout started as a myth, grew to a folk tale, became neighborhood gossip and has since swiftly kicked the basketball world in the behind. Does anyone remember this song and dance from 1998-99? The Chicago Bulls had just capped their second three-peat of the decade and everyone wanted to know who was up next. Michael Jordan was gone
Everyone knows Kevin Durant can score. He has drawn a lot of comparisons to George "Iceman" Gervin, for their fluid and silky play style and both seem capable of scoring without a lot of effort, as it appears to an observer. They both make it look so easy. Even when Gervin was spindling his way through three defenders and flipping up an
Last season the Chicago Bulls shocked the NBA world by posting the best record in the league and hosting the regular season MVP Derrick Rose and the Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau. No one in their right mind picked the Bulls to finish better than the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic or the Atlanta Hawks. Well, the Bulls pulled it
The New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony put together a team for a summer league showdown on Tuesday. Now, Anthony and former Syracuse University teammate Hakim Warrick are planning a game in Philadelphia. Marc Stein of ESPN reports Warrick has wanted to put a game together for quite awhile, but hasn't done it. After seeing the media
As of late, Derrick Rose has emerged as the arguable front runner for the NBA MVP for the 2010-11 season.
