As you’ve probably heard, Kevin Love was ruled out for Game 3 of the NBA Finals after suffering a concussion on Sunday night.

Yesterday, Tracy McGrady made headlines when he said that Stephen Curry‘s unanimous MVP is a sign that the league is watered down.

It’s no secret that Dwight Howard has had his share of critics over the years.

While Dwight Howard receives plenty of criticism these days, there’s little doubt he’s made his mark in the NBA.

After the Rockets lost […]

There is never ever a dull moment on Inside the NBA on TNT.  On this occasion, Shaq invented a new dance, named the Gorilla Dab, and posted it on social media.

Last night, the Houston Rockets shocked the NBA world with their 97-96 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
