In September, the Premier Basketball League announced the Central Illinois Drive, a new franchise from Bloomington, Ill., had been approved for the upcoming 2011-12 season.

There’s never been a tougher time to be an NBA point guard than right now. We feel for Ricky Rubio. He’s walking into a chainsaw. The minute he gets sick of checking Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook or Derrick Rose, here comes Raymond Felton or Steve Nash. It never ends. Just below the top-tier All-Stars sit players like Brandon Jennings and Jrue Holiday. Two point guards. Two completely different games. Jennings does it with talent, ball skills and an unbelievable offensive repertoire. Holiday does it with defense, steadiness and vast potential. Read More »

Outside of their beast in the middle and waterfall of threes, the Orlando Magic are a team of uncertainty for fantasy owners. Their starting shooting guard is most likely on his way out, their backup point guard appears more primed to stir up controversy on Twitter than do anything provocative anything on the court and a timeshare looks likely at the power forward position. All that said, there are open doors for a few players to assert themselves as fantasy stalwarts.

We need you Michael. More than ever. It must be hard for so many of today’s stars, living in Jordan’s shadow. Let’s face it, he’s still a dominating presence in the game, and still holds the attention of the general public. When he says something, people listen. Players might not wilt in the face of the GOAT anymore, but they still love him and they still respect him. As Reggie Miller said recently, he was perhaps the biggest factor in ending the last lockout in 1998-99. When he got involved, everyone listened, from smitten players to hardened owners. They knew his value, his prestige. So where has he been this whole offseason? Read More »

Being a product’s spokesman is one thing. But actually using that product religiously? That’s another level. Dwyane Wade and Mission Court Grip are attempting to change the game, and it appears Brandon Jennings is onboard too. Check out Young Money’s reaction to Court Grip the first time he tested it below, and hear what he has to say about the brand after the jump.

It appears the University of Miami and University of Kentucky won’t be the only men’s basketball teams receiving player exclusives of the Nike LeBron 9. You had to know that The Ohio State University would be shown some love from LeBron too. Read More »

The first two weeks of the 2011-12 NBA regular season have been cancelled, and things aren’t looking to change for the better anytime soon. And while it’s sometimes hard to feel bad about millionaires losing money, you can definitely sympathize with someone missing out on a paycheck – and not in the Rasheed Wallace CTC kind of way.

We’ve seen these two debating for NBA 2K12 before. Drake is gonna keep repping the 2011 Miami Heat, even though they didn’t win a ring. Brian Wilson is gonna keep it old school, and stay strong with the 1986 Boston Celtics. We gotta say, Wilson kills him with the comebacks.
