LeBron James Is Ready For Prime Time
On one hand, LeBron James is an infinitely talented basketball player. On the other hand, he’s coming off like a douchebag. Yeah. I said it. So, what does LeBron do? I envision this whole ordeal as if it were a high schooler choosing his college of choice. Bron-Bron at a table with World Wide Wes [...]
Too much talk not enough signing
This summer’s NBA free agency has been hyped up for the past three years. It is finally here, and we are still waiting for players to get signed. LeBron James, Dwayne Wade or Chris Bosh still don’t have a home, whether the locale is the same as last season or different. The only movement to [...]
LeBron’s Suitors Going About It All Wrong
The light at the end of the NBA free agency tunnel is rapidly approaching, and the hoopla will soon come to an end.

Stoudemire a Knick…will he lure another free agent?
The New York Knicks and Amare Stoudemire have supposedly agreed to a five year deal worth somewhere around $100 million.

Today, the Chicago Bulls get last bats in a very important game that could shape what happens on the NBA hardwood for years to come. Owner Jerry Reinsdorf, coach Tom Thibodeau and the rest of the Bulls’ [...]
Coaches coming back and getting hired
The two head coaches of the teams in the NBA finals are going to return. Phil Jackson has decided he wants to come back to the Los Angeles Lakers to attempt to win another championship. This would mean Jackson would have 12 rings and four three-peats. It is never happened in the NBA. I love [...]
Day 1: Everyone wins the Lotto

Scoop’s Suggestion
ESPN columnist Scoop Jackson doesn’t usually have good ideas, but a few weeks ago, he came up with an idea I think the Chicago Bulls should consider if they can’t sign Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade or any duo combination. Jackson made a guest appearance on The Basketball Jones podcast June 11th. During his [...]
Bulls coming at Lebron with the full court press
There is no doubt in my mind, the Bulls organization wants nothing more than to sign Lebron James. Actually, every team in the league wants to, but only a few have salary cap room like Chicago.
