New York Knicks star AmarÂ’e Stoudemire revealed the first picture of his son Alijah he had with his wife Alexis in March of this year. The couple now have four kids together.

In 2014, AmarÂ’e Stoudemire needs to become the teamÂ’s second option offensively with J.R SmithÂ’s future in the air.

STAT played in just 29 games off the bench this season after dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of the beginning and end of the season. In the playoffs he was nonexistent, contributing less than four points per game.

Stoudemire showed flashes of his former self—the guy who the Knicks signed for $100 million—during the regular season. He averaged 14.2 points and five rebounds a night and scored 20 points or more on seven different occasions. Whether or not Stoudemire will be featured in the starting lineup next season is uncertain.

		Much-traveled NBA guard Nate Robinson won the hearts and minds of many during the 2013 playoffs by keeping his plucky Chicago Bulls in game after game of their unlikely postseason run. The 5-9 guard may disappoint some of those new followers, though, with his recent conversion to the dark arts. That's right, Nate Robinson is a sorcerer, now. Able to shape-shift his way through glass at any number of fast food burger joints.

		Phil Jackson is unquestionably one of the greatest coaches of all time, but he didn’t get there by placating people or considering the feelings of others — especially those with seniority or who were holding down a higher-level position within the organization. Speaking at an event last week where Jackson was plugging his latest book, he recalled the time he asked then Lakers general manager Jerry West — also one of the franchise’s all-time great players — to leave the locker room so Jackson and the team could be alone to dissect the night’s troubles in private. From Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times: “The Lakers were really struggling, not enjoying playing together,” said Jackson. “The last five minutes of the game were arduous and painful — so I kicked everybody out of the locker room. “Jerry and [then-assistant general manager] Mitch Kupchak would come into the locker room afterward … but I wanted it to be just us,” continued Jackson. “So I asked everybody to leave and then I addressed the team and asked them what happened out there on the floor.” “In the process, I know Jerry was hurt by me asking him to leave the room,” Jackson said. “It has always been what I’ve done any time it got intimate or personal, to ask people that were outside, trainers and ball boys in particular.” Ouch. This is believed to have occurred during the Lakers’ first run to a title under Jackson, in the Western Conference Finals back in 2000. West is the farthest thing from a ballboy, obviously, and was right to have been offended at being excluded from the inner workings of the team. But that’s part of what made Jackson great, the ability to do what he thought was best for the teams he coached no matter who else stood in his way, or may have disagreed with his process in the slightest. It’s also what made it so tough for the organization to consider bringing him back once they corrected the Mike Brown mistake early last season.

A collection of memorabilia that caused a war between Kobe Bryant and his parents is now officially up for auction.

Items include a diamond-encrusted NBA Championship ring complet with the words "Bling Bling" on the side, Bryant's high school jersey, and several prototypes of Kobe's shoes.

Kobe sued his mother to prevent her from selling the items, claiming she had no right. Pamela Bryant fought back, claiming Kobe had given her the items over the years so she had every right to sell them.

The two sides eventually reached a settlement, in which Kobe allowed his parents to sell off 10% of what they had originally tried to auction.

As part of the settlement, half the proceeds from 4 key items will go to support the social action campaign around the anti-bullying documentary "Bully."

Check out all the items up for auction above.

Dwyane Wade might not be putting it down in the playoffs but rumor has it that heÂ’s definitely laying down the pipe in the bedroom and Gabrielle UnionÂ’s woo-ha is NOT involved.

MTE sources say that Dwyane Wade has slipped up and got his side chick knocked up.

Apparrently, this news has not only affected D. Wade’s castle but also his skills, which is why he’s been falling short during the past couple of games in the playoffs. Sources also reveal that Gabrielle Union is fully aware of what’s going on, which might explain her behavior in Vegas… She had a lot of “Instagram Straight Flexin’” moments.

The details of who is walking around with a fertilized D. Wade seed have not been revealed. Obviously neither D. Wade nor Gabby is excited about the situation and would love to “opt out” but…unfortunately, it’s not up to them.

Damn damn damn James! And by that we mean King James, who is probably heated as fawk his boy canÂ’t keep his head in the game cuz his he couldnÂ’t keep his other head in his pants. That isÂ… if these rumors are true. SMH.

Do you believe them?

In the meantime, a few words of wisdom for Gabby, via her own Instagram:

Lakers say they still feel optimistic about resigning Dwight. But they're well aware it's not a given he will come back.

That's why they say they've made contingency plans in case he walks.

I wouldn't expect a sign-and-trade. Lakers would rather have cap flexibility.


idk i called this a bluff, and mitch doing this for negotation tactics
