Brooklyn Nets starting guard Shaun Livingston is expected to be a hot commodity on the open market this summer, when he becomes a free agent. Livingston, who started a career-best 54 games in 2013-14, has been one of the best stories of the NBA season, playing a pivotal role in the Nets' second-half resurgence.

It's not on the scale of rehab of the Nassau Coliseum, but reviving the Anderson, Indiana, Wigman is a big deal for Central Indiana natives, particularly the Teague family.

The...

The investment banker hired by Bruce Ratner to sell his partnership's 20 percent stake in the Nets believes the team alone, not counting the group's interest in the arena, is worth $1 billion and is pricing the stake accordingly.

If Drazen Petrovic was still alive, he would be 49 years old --and probably still capable of hitting a three in an NBA game. Like Mirza Teletovic, Petrovic's rookie season was a bust. So was his second year. The Trail Blazers coaches didn't think he could play at the NBA level and so Portland sent him to New Jersey. Teletovic knows the feeling. Neither Avery Johnson nor P.J. Carlesimo thought he could...

Howard Megdal asks the not-so-obvious (or is it?) question after Saturday's emotional win over the Heat : are the Nets Joe Johnson's team? The quiet storm that is the 6'8" swingman has shown in this year's playoffs what he can bring. Despite all the buzz for the players around him, it's increasingly looked like these may be Joe Johnson's Brooklyn Nets," writes Megal for SportsOnEarth. "And during...

With the game nearly in hand and the crowd oh so into it, the Barclays Center put up a video of a chant by Utah State University basketball fans that had only six words and yet is oh so infectious. "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!" went the chant, each word uttered separately at an increasingly rising decibel level before breaking out as a complete, rhythmic phrase. As a Heat timeout went long, the crowd...
Jason Collins and Michael Sam have shared a mutual respect and support for one another, especially now as both have broken barriers in their respective sport, with Collins being the first openly gay athlete in the NBA and Sam, as of Saturday night, being the first openly gay college football player to be selected in the NFL Draft.

With under 10 minutes to go in Saturday night's Game 3 matchup between the Nets and Heat and the game getting out of hand, Ray Allen and Alan Anderson got tangled up.

It doesn't seem like any further action...
