Andre Iguodala’s time with the Philadelphia 76ers might be directly tied to whom the Sixers take with the second pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft.

At this point, the Philly front office is torn down the middle between Ohio State’s Evan Turner and Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors. GM Ed Stefanski loves Turner. Newly hired coach Doug Collins wants Favors.

No one can really figure out which direction Golden State is looking going into this Thursday’s NBA Draft. That’s probably because even the Warriors aren’t positive what type of player they want or even what type of team he will be joining.

On Sunday, former Georgetown big man Greg Monroe was the latest to make his case for the Warriors’ No. 6 pick. While Monroe has been slotted as high as No. 5 to the Sacramento Kings, DeMarcus Cousins could easily slide into that spot. Read More »

Chris Bosh was supposed to go into this summer as the NBA’s most sought-after sidekick, but CB4 wants to be treated like a go-to guy. “I don’t want to be mentioned as an addition to the team. I want to be mentioned as the guy that people want to center their team around,” Bosh was quoted in an NBA.com article. You think he shouldn’t get treated like a franchise guy? Look at each NBA champion from the last decade: the 2010 and ’09 Lakers had Pau Gasol; the ’08 Celtics had KG; the ’07, ’05 and ’03 Spurs had Duncan; the ’06 Heat had Shaq; the ’04 Pistons had Ben Wallace and ‘Sheed; and the three-peat Lakers had Shaq.

Yesterday in Akron, they threw a “LeBron Appreciation Day” that became truly newsworthy when LeBron showed up unexpected … Read More »

Immediately after winning a championship, we have a pretty good idea what Kobe, Pau, Ron-Ron, L.O. and the rest of the Lakers are doing right now: Sleeping. Clyde Drexler once told us in a Dime interview that after he won the ’95 title with Houston, he spent the next two weeks sleeping all day, and on NBA TV right after Game 7, Kevin McHale said he would sleep about 15 hours a day for a few days after his Boston ‘chips. (This was when broadcast partner Chris Webber could only nod, smile and wonder.) … Read More »

The way 2-on-2 basketball is played is about to get flipped - and it could earn you $2,000. This summer, the Red Bull 2on2 Revolution is going to be taking over a city near you, and if you and a teammate have what it takes, you can walk away with the title and the cash.

Here’s how it’s going to go down: For five (almost) consecutive weekends starting in mid-July, the Red Bull team will be taking over iconic playgrounds in major East Coast cities with all-day 2-on-2 basketball tournaments. 32 teams will battle it out in each city in a single-elimination format, with the winning squad taking home the cash and other prizes.
