Our usual random assortment of the best NBA stories from the last week or so.

All the drama that a break from actual games could provide.

A whole mess of basketball

We go through two weeks of incredible stories, finishing with a long discussion of the Cavaliers.

What's going on with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Danny Green's pets, Jason Kidd gets the axe, Joakim Noah is still a professional basketball player, and other stories from around the league.

We reminisce over the 25th anniversary of NBA Jam, figure out who the players would be in today's version, and then discuss various stories around the league.

We take a look at ridiculous minor league uniforms, discuss the first All-Star voting results, the return of Isaiah Thomas, a name change for the Dallas Mavericks, and a funny video featuring Georgetown coach Patrick Ewing.

We take one last long look around the league, and officially close out 2017.

Our music collections, some 2017 reminiscing, how awesome Milos Teodosic is, and some odd NBA stories.

We go through the new City Edition jerseys and choose our favorites, the sad story of Chris Gatling, a discussion of Kyrie Irving's new shoes, Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns, LeBron James playing NBA2K, and what David Stern has to say about marijuana.
