At this point, it appears that it’s not if, but rather when, Monta Ellis will be traded from the Warriors. With his agent, Jeff Fried, scheduled to meet with team management in Oakland tomorrow, apparently at Don Nelson’s urging, Golden State has been calling teams and offering to trade Ellis all week.

Major League Baseball won’t let anybody wear number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson. LeBron James suggests the NBA should do the same thing with Michael Jordan’s number. As you know, LeBron rocks number 23, but is aware that he probably shouldn’t. He said he’ll eventually switch to his Olympic number 6. Read More »

Think about LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the same squad, forming what could possibly the most talented duo in NBA. Better yet, imagine them playing for the Knicks together or the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets. It would be a marketing jackpot. Picture them running the break together, taking turns throwing lobs to each other. It’s good to dream, but does it make any sense? Read More »

As I said, I was coming to you live from the Heat/Cavs game tonight. Just got back to the hotel and had to post this. Probably the best dunk I’ve ever seen live in a game.

Part of the festivities surrounding the launch of the Air Jordan 2010 down here in Miami, involve going to the Heat/Cavs game tonight. And from what I hear, we won’t just be watching the game, but will be balling out in one of the executive suites. Read More »

While most NBA malcontent chemistry killers would seem to warrant permanent exile these days, it looks like it’s just the opposite for Stephen Jackson as Yahoo! Sports is reporting that as many as 10 teams have expressed interest in acquiring him.

If it was just a matter of picking him up and putting him in the mix, bringing in S-Jack would probably be a no-brainer for lots of teams (when he’s into the team and wants to be there, by all accounts pretty much everybody loves playing with Jackson). There’s one huge obstacle though. Read More »

I go to a lot of Knicks games, but tonight is different. How? Put it this way, the seat where I normally sit is being occupied by Stephen A. Smith, the in-house DJ is Grandmaster Flash and Bernie Williams is performing the National Anthem. And this year, with LeBron and the Cavs only gracing the Garden with their presence one time, everybody made it out. And by everybody I mean Jay-Z, A-Rod, Chris Rock, Charles Oakley, Larry Johnson, Anthony Mason and me. Read More »

I know what you’re thinking. Just another nickname after the Big Shaquistion arrived in Cleveland? Wrong. In addition to being LeBron’s muscle on the court, Shaq is trying to be a good, concerned citizen off of it. According to The Plain Dealer, the 7-1 center has applied to become a special deputy with the right to carry a gun and make arrests. Read More »

Between the Delonte West fiasco and the team’s back to back losses to begin the ’09-10 campaign, it hasn’t been the smoothest start for the Cleveland Cavaliers. With 80 games to go this season, there isn’t any reason for the team or fans to start panicking yet. But they should definitely be worried. Read More »

Thanks to @jose3030, you don’t have to wait until halftime or SportsCenter to see LeBron’s ridiculous block on Rajon Rondo. (Somehow topping the one he had on Rondo in the preseason.)
