Two main topics of the week for the Bulls, and they both have one thing in common. Derrick Rose. Will and Jason discuss the hot topic of the Chicago Sun-Times article and give our take on the situation at its entirety. Also, Rose has his debut on the basketball court for 2014 and fared pretty […]
The past weekend has been a nightmare for the NBA, arguably the most progressive professional leagues in the United States. Late Friday night TMZ published audio in which Donald Sterling and his (presumably now ex-) girlfriend were in an argument. On the recording Sterling can be heard making racist comments about minorities such as how […]
ESPN.com recently embarked on a mission to rank front offices in the NBA.
