9. Eddy Curry Signing- Simply shows that the Miami Heat has balls. 8. They Are Angry And Embarrassed- After all the hype before last season, it was understood that not winning a championship would be a failure. Actually correction, not winning 7 championships would be a failure. And I’m no math teacher, but by the transitive property I believe you can label the Miami Heat as “failures”. After Dallas ...

NBA fans, prepare to not have an NBA season. The league’s best player, Kobe “The Black Mamba” Bryant has reached a verbal agreement with the Italian club Virtus Bologna. While Bryant hasn’t signed anything yet, expect him to make the return back to Italy if talks between the players and owners do not get going soon. Unlike the Chinese leagues, Kobe will be able to come back to the NBA whenever the season do ...

The NBA has a stigma of being a league where a bunch of overpaid egomaniacs hog the ball and don’t pla ...

Not to anyone’s surprise, another player is following Wilson Chandler’s bold decision in deciding to sign a contract with a Chinese basketball team during this summer’s unfortunate NBA lockout. Although these contracts are far more lucrative than some of the other European ones, China’s contracts have a non-opt out clause. That means that JR Smith will not be playing in the NBA even if the lockout ends in t ...

With the NBA lockout looming and the 2011-2012 season in question, players are beginning to realize that there is an alternative option for them if the season is indeed cancelled. This idea was first made public by Nets guard Deron Williams, who said that he would go play in Turkey if there was no season.
