Quietly, the Kings have been hoarding cap space. In two years, they’ll chase mega free agents like Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. Their efforts will be in vain. And Sacramento won’t get a chance to bring out the welcome mats for any one of the Team USA trio ...

However, the ceremony re-ignited a debate about whether Ewing or Olajuwon is the best center? After all, Ewing carried an undermanned Knick squad and the MSG faithful for several years. His leadership and heart must factor into any match-up against Olajuwon, right? ...

Years ago, ‘King James’ –while under contract with the Cavaliers- expressed a love of all things five boroughs. He digs ‘the City that never sleeps’ and even cheers for the Yankees when they play his hometown Indians ...

Last year, Boston sipped champagne because of Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce. San Antonio has won three NBA Titles behind Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker. Still, with the league becoming increasingly competitive, a new four-star model is starting to emerge ...

Brand must re-establish himself as an All-Star after his Achilles injury, while ‘Iggy’ has to take the next step towards superstardom.

And they were supposed to keep Boston competitive and away from the rebuilding projects that kill franchises. But tragedy struck. Twice. Len Bias, the green-and-white’s second overall pick in the 1986 draft, died from a drug overdose without ever playing an NBA game, while Reggie Lewis passed away in 1993 from heart complications ...

So his knee is good. How about his head? After all, Oden missed 2007-08, is seen by some as the next Sam Bowie, and now faces expectations bigger than the next American president ...
