With one the most watched NBA finals coming to a end recently, basketball fever is at a all time high and to some the game is over but for us die hards ithas only just begun. Hot off the the NBA draft where the Sixers and Lakers arguably grabbed the top 2 players, basketball is not done but just getting charged up(word to drake). 

Today the official 2016 US Men's National Team roster has been announced and even though it maybe missing some of the games biggest stars( Westbrook, James, and Curry) Team USA with out a doubt is in good hands and expect gold! And if you expected anything else shame on you sir *shakes finger like mutumbo*

So check out the full roster below and let me know what you think of the Men's National Team and of course see you August!!! 

In this day and age sports is seen as a macho, muscle, man driven thing while women's is some what shunned and their respective sports are not as well appreciated. Today that changes like the classy coach and organization they are the 2014 NBA Champs(and Coach Pop) have announced the hiring of WNBA Retiree(after this season) Becky Hammon. 

A hiring like this is a long time coming and I myself a lover of the game of basketball am excited on this news because it changes the dynamics of the sport and opens the door to more women getting jobs in the NBA. Congrats to Becky and respect to the San Antonio Spurs for being the first to take the leap....now how long will it take til we see a female  Head Coach, GM/President, or Owner........

Today the Detroit Pistons announced that they have struck a deal with a new coach. The coach is Stan Van Gundy, he and the pistons have agreed upon a 5 year deal worth up to 35M and it would make him the coach and also president of basketball operations.

Not sure how smart of signing this was but I doubt Van Gundy will last the full 5 years.......

With the second round of the 13-14 NBA Playoffs under way the NBA took some time ou to announce one of its major awards today. The past few years the NBA MVP has been Lebron's for the taking but this season has changed.

The NBA today announced OKC Foward Kevin Durant as this years MVP after a record scoring season, so we would like to say congrats to KD and hopefully u get that first ring this year. My darn lakers ain't em make so let's go thunder!

The NBA playoffs are starting real soon so here's the first round schedule 

Is your team in the playoffs? And who do you have getting out if the first round? 

Lakers announced that Kobe is done for the season but in typical Kobe fashion he had other things to say. Apparently Bryant wants to come back but also that if he does he wants no part of the current lakers coach. Coach D ' Antoni seems to be a decent coach or maybe it was just the suns had a good roster either way he's likely gonna be out of a job next season.......
