A couple weeks back, center Joel Embiid was seen working out and looked pretty good. Sixers fans were getting excited to see their top pick two years back finally getting some run. Today, Embiid posted a second video of himself training and this one, you have to see. Rookie year……. @DrewHanlen pic.twitter.com/8gVTu9XkUN — Joel Embiid […]

Alan Anderson will be 34 years old in October. He’s had somewhat of a roller-coaster ride in the NBA and wasn’t able to truly find an impact on a club until he found himself with the Brooklyn Nets three years ago. He routinely was awarded solid minutes in Brooklyn and became a nice scoring option […]

Lately, we’ve seen countless numbers of NBA players playing in various leagues throughout the country during the summer while it is the offseason. Jabari Parker is just one NBA player to put on a show at a summer league, and what he did to one defender was just plain rude. Here’s Parker with consecutive poster […]

Have you ever wondered which NBA coach would be the best U.S. President? Andrew Sharp of Sports Illustrated decided to take the task it into his own hands to decide who would be the best coach to be in the Oval Office. There weren’t many surprises throughout the list. Gregg Popovich, coming in at number […]

David Lee has had a tough time these past couple of years. He has endured plenty of injuries and just hasn’t been able to turn back to the double-double machine that he was with the Warriors. He hasn’t been able to find a steady home since leaving Golden State two years ago. Now, Lee is […]

It’s been 22 days now since Kevin Durant had made his decision. While it’s been quite a while, many of us have still not been able to fully grasp the reality of him leaving the Thunder to join the Warriors. One player who has still not gotten over Durant leaving is Russell Westbrook. It’s understandable that […]

Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are two of the best three point shooters in the NBA, maybe even of all time. We’ve seen them compete in three-point contests before at NBA All-Star Weekend. Curry won it in 2015 while Klay had won it this past year. Maybe we’ll see them both in the three-point contest […]

The Sixers, as we know, have a logjam at the power forward and center positions. Bryan Colangelo, the Sixers GM, has made it clear that probably won’t be the case for long. Yesterday, Bryan Colangelo went on Sirius XM Radio to talk about his team and if one of their big men might have to […]

Draymond Green, as we know, was arrested the other day for allegedly assaulting a fan in East Lansing. He apparently slapped a fan, but there were no injuries whatsoever. Draymond made bail and will be due in court within a week or so. Green’s lawyer has come out to say that Draymond is 100% innocent. […]

It wasn’t the best day for D’Angelo Russell. The Lakers and Russell could not find a way to get a lead over Philly. D’Lo was 6-18 from the field going into the last 30 seconds or so of the 4th quarter. That is when he got going. The Lakers were down two points with 10 […]

Kevin Durant is on the Warriors. I know, it’s still unbelievable to us too. He signed a two year contract with Golden State with an option to opt out after one year. Most players would wait to have played a game with their new team before implying what they plan to do regarding the option […]

As soon as midnight hit, the Lakers made a major deal to sign Timofey Mozgov to a 4 year, $64 mil team. It was a very alarming deal given the fact that Mozgov hadn’t done too much this past season with the Cavs. We knew this was going to happen though. Players were going to […]

We are going to hear plenty of rumors for the next couple of weeks as NBA free agency has officially begun. Some rumors, while plausible, just have no real substance behind them. Yesterday, Ian Begley of ESPN, reported that Evan Turner would have numerous suitors this off-season. One of them, the Pelicans, will be aggressive […]

The Brooklyn Nets are beginning a full rebuild. They traded Thaddeus Young to the Indiana Pacers to make it clear to everyone that they are trying to get younger. Now, they are trying to do the same thing with Jarrett Jack. Jack is coming off of a torn ACL. He was only able to play […]

Dion Waiters had always been known as a player who can get shots up. This past postseason with the Thunder, he proved that he could do so much more. Waiters put in the effort defensively and shot a respectable 37.5% beyond the arc in the playoffs. Whether Dion Waiters is a max player or not […]

Trey Burke has already finished three full seasons with the Utah Jazz. It seems like just yesterday that he was playing for Michigan in college. While time has seemed like it has flown by, Burke hasn’t wanted it to because of the lack of success he has had during his NBA career. Trey Burke isn’t […]

This is a big offseason. Many star players are available and signing just one of them can transition your team from a pretender into a contender very quickly. Still, as we know, not all of these players will be available as many will decide to remain with their respective teams from last season. The purpose […]

If there is any player in the NBA that knows a thing about the word loyalty, it is Udonis Haslem. Haslem has been faithful to the Miami Heat for his entire career. Udonis Haslem was not drafted when he was coming into the league. He was playing in France until the Heat decided to take […]

I’m not sure what it’s with NBA players and their infatuation with cooking up kids at camps or making them silly in a one on one game. We’ve seen Kevin Durant do it before, and now it is James Harden’s time. As we know, James Harden has some of the best handles in the NBA. […]

Tony Wroten was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2012. In his lone season with Memphis, he rarely saw the court as he was an afterthought in the rotation and routinely was sent down to play in the D-League throughout the year. Before his second season, Tony Wroten was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers where […]

Hassan Whiteside has gone from an unknown player to one of the best big men in the league in just a two or three year span. Now, he is a coveted free agent. A couple weeks ago, it was made clear that the Lakers would be one of the teams to go after Hassan Whiteside. […]

Gregg Popovich is one of the best coaches in the game, as we can all agree. He understands how to get the best out of each and every player. Coach Pop knew how to do just that with Kawhi Leonard. Now, he has said that he is going to try to do that same thing […]

“Boys Among Men” is a book by Jonathan Abrams who is a New York Times best selling author. He currently works at Bleacher Report and is a well-respected basketball junkie. In his book, published just a couple of months ago, details the extremely talented NBA prospects who had jumped straight from high school to the […]

The Nets were not very good last year at all and even lost their top 3 pick to the Celtics. Thaddeus Young was a bright spot for the team as he shot above 50% from the floor and averaged 15 points and 9 rebounds per game. Brooklyn is beginning their rebuild and they have a […]

Kevin Durant is the most attractive free agent this summer. His first and best option at this point seems to be for him to stay in Oklahoma City with the Thunder, but that doesn’t ensure that he’ll remain there. Yesterday, the New York Knicks acquired Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls making their team a […]

It’s been a crazy day so far. We finally got our first official trade when Jeff Teague was traded to the Pacers in the three team deal. Now, the second gigantic trade of this off-season has been finalized. It’s a big one. The Bulls are sending Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 2nd-round pick […]

The off-season is officially under way! We have been hearing plenty of rumors circulating for the past couple of weeks that have included some big time players. Today, the first trade of the summer has been finalized. Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to break the news just a little while ago: Atlanta is sending guard […]

Brian Geltzeiler of hoopscritic.com had reported earlier today that Gordon Hayward was unhappy with the Jazz and that Utah was trying to trade him. But then Marc Stein, someone with more reliable sources, had reported that Gordon Hayward was not available. Utah, sources say, is telling interested teams Gordon Hayward is unavailable. Ditto for Milwaukee […]

Joakim Noah, who has indicated that he’d listen to all of the offers out there, is drawing significant interest from the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson and Noah have been known to have a nice rapport which doesn’t make this news too surprising. Still, with Robin Lopez under contract until 2019, it wouldn’t sit well […]

During this NBA season, the Lakers were overcome with an unfortunate off-the court situation between Nick Young and D’Angelo Russell. As we know, D’Angelo Russell secretly recorded a private conversation between himself and Nick Young that immediately went viral. Russell has continued to try to build a rapport once again with the teammates and understands […]

We are now just three days away from the 2016 NBA Draft. The Boston Celtics have the 3rd overall pick, but are looking to see if there are any teams around the league that are interested in a trade.  The Sixers have the first overall pick in the draft, but are looking into dealing for […]

Steve Nash was one of the best point guards of all time. He was a terrific distributor on the court for the Phoenix Suns for the entirety of his NBA career. We had always heard of Steve Nash’s skills on the pitch as well, but we were never able to see him go against any […]

President Barack Obama is an avid basketball fan. We’ve seen him at Bulls games and even at some of the nationally televised games in the NBA. Most notably, though, every year we hear of President Obama’s March Madness picks. Given the fact that President Obama is such a big fan of the NBA, we would’ve […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are ready for what will be a very exciting offseason. They have the 2nd overall pick in the draft, have a couple key players who they need to re-sign, and will be pursuing some of the bigger free agents available this summer. Brandon Bass, you could say, isn’t exactly the most […]

About a month ago, we had heard of reports saying that Kris Dunn did not want to go to the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft. Dunn was a spectacular point guard at the University of Providence for the past two years. He averaged 16 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds this past season. His […]

DeMarcus Cousins is one of the most dominant players in the NBA, it’s that simple. Unfortunately, there are still two major problems that prevent Cousins from becoming an even better player for the Sacramento Kings. One of those is the fact that he gets too upset when certain calls don’t go his way. Cousins is […]

Ben Simmons was heavily ridiculed for choosing to skip out on the work-out with the Philadelphia 76ers. It wasn’t very fair given the fact that numerous players who were projected 1st overall picks have chosen to do the same thing in the past. The Sixers obviously have the 1st overall pick in the draft and […]

We’ve been expecting it for a long time. We all knew that the salary cap was going to significantly rise this summer; the exact increase was the only question. There were previous reports indicating that the salary cap would likely increase above $90 million, right around $92 mil. Just the other day, Shams Charania of […]

Draymond Green was excellent in Game 7, yet he still would put the blame on himself for the loss the Warriors took against the Cavaliers. Maybe it was because of his suspension in Game 5 which ultimately shifted the momentum in this series or because he just didn’t believe he did enough in Game 7. […]
