Now that the Lakers have shipped Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks, you’re probably wondering what his wife and Los Angeles-based reality TV star Khloe Kardashian thinks of the trade. Naturally, we must turn to the all-powerful Twitter for the answers.

At least one month of the NBA season has been canceled, while the players and owners remain deadlocked in their labor negotiations. Unfortunately for both sides, no one seems to care that the NBA season hasn’t gotten underway.

“West Philadelphia-born and raised” actor Will Smith and his wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, are among a collective group announced as new owners of the Philadelphia 76ers at an introductory press conference in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Most folks don't know that before emerging as an NBA superstar, LeBron James was one of Ohio's most talented high school football players. With a lockout looming over the NBA and the 2011 season in jeopardy LeBron James has turned his attention to the NFL.

Rapper and businessman Jay-Z has announced that he’ll be doing a series of concerts next fall at the new arena where the NBA’s Nets will soon call home. Jay-Z, of course, is part owner of the team. An all-access pass to events at The Barclays Center will go for up to $15,400 per season. It’s set to open on Sept. 28, 2012.

Joe McGinniss’ new book about Sarah Palin,‘The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin,’ doesn’t hit stores until next week, but explosive new revelations are already trickling out, courtesy of The National Enquirer. McGinniss reports that the former Alaskan governor and VP candidate slept with former NBA All-Star Glen Rice, used cocaine, and cheated on her husband, Todd, with one of his busines

With the lockout continuing, NBA players have been forced to look elsewhere to fulfill their basketball jones. In the case of Dwight Howard, this journey took him to Japan, where the Orlando Magic center recently dunked on an 11-foot hoop which had been attached to the neck of a 12-foot stuffed giraffe, during an exhibition at a Tokyo mall. Yes, it all sounds a bit strange, but the crowd gets real

According to TMZ, former NBA Great Shaquille O'Neal is in the middle of a nasty lawsuit that accuses the big man of plotting to have a former pal of his, Robert Ross- former gang member, kidnapped and killed. In the lawsuit that TMZ has obtained, Shaq is accused of plotting to have a former gang member, record producer, and woman killed.

Often-injured Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has informed the NBA he has retired after eight seasons in the league. Yahoo! Sports first reported the news.

Congratulations to former Duke Blue Devil player, Kyrie Irving, for being selected the first pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Irving was selected by the Cleveland Cavillers, the former home of Lebron James.

Now that LeBron has ultimately failed in what he set out to do by leaving Cleveland and "taking his talents to South Beach", what's next? Well, it seems Lebron has already planned his next move just days after losing to Dirk Nowitski and the Dallas Mavericks. He is clearly determined to win championships and I truly think this 'new decision' is the one that LeBron should have made in the

This is awesome.

LeBron James is no stranger to controversy and last night he added another chapter to his legacy. After LeBron and the Miami Heat lost in the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks, he took to the podium with D-Wade at his side to address the media. If his poor play and lack of 'greatness' that ultimately led to defeat in this Finals series wasn't enough, LeBron decided to take shots at his 'haters' .

Marc Serota, Getty Images Dirk Nowitzki had been a one-man wrecking machine throughout most of the 2011 NBA playoffs. But on the night his Dallas Mavericks clinched their first-ever NBA championship by defeating the Miami Heat 105-95, he had a lot of help from his teammates.

In game 4 of the NBA finals, Dirk Nowitzki led his Dallas Mavericks team to victory over the Miami Heat, despite suffering from a 101-degree fever and looking visibly sick at times. It was the kind of performance that sports writers love to wax poetic about. But that didn't impress Heat superstars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. In fact, right before game 5, a camera caught the duo making fun of N

In honor of NBA star Allen Iverson's 36th birthday today, I decided to revisit a couple viral YouTube videos. A few years back, Allen was given a hard time by sports writers, fans and others about his "practice" comment during a press conference. If you've never watched it before, check it out...if you watched it before, what's another couple times?

If someone asked me "Who is the best player to ever play the game of basketball?" - my answer would be 'Michael Jordan.' I was an 80's baby and a child of the 90's which means I had the privilege of seeing Michael Jordan in his prime. As a kid, I guess it was all surreal even though I knew that Michael was the best player in the NBA at that time. His face was on everything

As we all learned yesterday, Shaq decided to call it quits after 19 seasons in the NBA. Shaq said yesterday , “We did it. Nineteen years baby. I want to thank you very much, that’s why I’m telling you first, I’m about to retire. Love you, talk to you soon.” I've decided to pay my repects to the big man by putting up a video of Shaq's "rap skills."

Today one of the most iconic NBA players of my generation announced his retirement. After 19 years, 28,596 career points, the long list of nicknames, and four NBA Championship rings, Shaquille O'Neal has called it quits.

If I ever see Lebron James out, I'm definitely raiding his section. Patron, check. Vodka, check. Champagne, check. Bud Light, check. No matter what your preference is in the club, I'm pretty sure there is something for everyone on this ticket. See if you can find your favorite adult beverage on this bill. Wow.
