Walt “Clyde’ Frazier used to be one of the smoothest cats in the NBA during his playing days. He didn’t seem to be as suave doing his present job, however. At least that’s the case during one moment of Saturday night’s broadcast of the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the New York Knicks, […]

Whenever Andre Roberson’s name has been brought up this season, it’s usually in reference to what he can’t do well. From hitting free throws to hitting 3-pointers, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard has been criticized through the start of the season. But it’s on nights like Tuesday when Roberson shows fans and the rest of […]

As good as Andre Roberson is on defense, the same cannot be said about his free throw shooting. He is coming off averaging his worst percentage from that distance last year, and has not shown a lot of improvement on it to start this season. He is only converting on 50 percent so far, including […]

NBA fans can be very unforgiving of visiting players, and you can ask Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Andre Roberson about that.

While tanking has continued to be a controversial topic in the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers proved that it indeed pays off. They’ve also made a name for themselves the past two years as a very patient franchise, especially with their players who have suffered injuries even before playing their first game in the league. It […]

Shooting free throws has not been the strongest suit in Andre Roberson’s game. He has struggled mightily last year, as his inability to knock down shots from that distance was in full display throughout the season, after he repeatedly got intentionally fouled. During Sunday’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves, the 25-year-old […]

Andre Roberson had a solid season last year, as he was able to showcase his impressive skill set, especially on the defensive end. He did not shy away from defending some of the best shooting guards and small forwards of the league, even taking it on as a challenge to himself to limit their production. […]

Andre Roberson is not your typical shooting guard because he’s the kind that is primarily put on the floor not to find ways to make baskets but to do the dirty jobs. Mostly he’s deployed by Oklahoma City Thunder Billy Donovan to get rebounds, force opponents to commit turnovers, and to shadow the other teams’ […]

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul has been named to seven NBA All-Defensive teams in his career, but even a player of his stature can sometimes forget how to play proper defense.

Free throws. Free throws never change. Or as Rick Barry, a 90 percent career free throw shooter would put it: “It’s the only part of the game that’s a constant. It’s always the same distance, it’s always the same ball, and it’s always the same size basket. It’s the only part of the game you […]

Perhaps the shrewdest trick ever pulled off this offseason by far was the Oklahoma City Thunder‘s highway robbery of the Indiana Pacers. Once Thunder general manager Sam Presti convinced Pacers GM Kevin Pritchard that Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis were equal to at least a year’s worth of Paul George‘s services, it blew the roof […]

Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Andre Roberson had a career year this past season and made a name for himself as one of the better on-ball defenders in the league today.

In light of his recent three-year, $30 million contract to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Andre Roberson was put on blast on Twitter after leaving a measly tip on a near-$500 bar tab after signing his contract.

A career 26 percent three-point shooter, Andre Roberson surely can’t shoot from deep to save his life, but he wants you to know that he’ll waste no time shooting down anyone who dares criticize his tipping game — on Twitter of course.

Free agent forward Andre Roberson has agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Looking for any advantage over the Thunder in Game 4 of their first-round series on Sunday, the Houston Rockets repeatedly intentionally fouled Andre Roberson in the fourth quarter.

James Harden managed to outmatch his MVP-candidate counterpart Russell Westbrook in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series on Sunday, despite the two going against two defensive juggernauts of their own right.
