Loyalty was thrown out the window for a young Sacramento Kings fan when the Golden State Warriors came into town Friday night. Prior to the game during warmups, the fan took off his Kings jersey to reveal a Warriors Stephen Curry jersey underneath as he was near Curry. Take a look at the unloyal sequence: […]

The Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to fire head coach Jason Kidd was not a simple one. Despite reasons to justify the move, also to concern was Kidd’s relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo, which was obviously so solid that Giannis even offered to go to bat for Kidd 15 minutes before the news broke in an effort to […]

Emotions overflowed for Kevin Durant and Draymond Green at one point during the Golden State Warriors’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

The reported trade between the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Pelicans involving Nikola Mirotic has now fallen apart, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

I’ll call the […]

LeBron James wasn’t ready and Kevin Durant put him on a poster Monday night. At least, LeBron would be at the very bottom of the poster. Durant took a pass on the fastbreak and went as aggressive as possible for a slam dunk despite James waiting for him in the paint. LeBron knew better than […]

Draymond Green has become one of the best in the NBA at earning technical fouls. He accumulates them at a higher rate than almost anyone, getting him a reputation where now the referees essentially anticipate handing them his way. That wasn’t the case Saturday night when the Golden State Warriors took on the Toronto Raptors. […]

New York Knicks power forward Kristaps Porzingis’ relationship with Jen Selter is well-documented. And it’s not going away anytime soon.

The Boston Celtics are surely happy with their decision to trade down from the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s NBA Draft and select Jayson Tatum. Tatum has emerged as an optimal role player, complimenting the already competent team in place in Boston. He’s showing signs of being an elite role player of sorts […]

Stephen Curry’s return from injury went better than anyone could have hoped for. In a 141-128 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Curry led the Golden State Warriors with 38 points on 13-for-17 shooting including a 10-for-13 effort from beyond the arc. Yeah, he’s pretty much all the way back from that ankle injury. The Warriors […]

Gerald Green is apparently happy to be a member of the Houston Rockets. The athletic swingman was signed by Houston a few days ago as the Rockets are looking to weather the injury storm while possibly also finding a diamond in the free agency rough in Green.

A valiant Thunder comeback came up just short as Giannis Antetokounmpo made the game-winning bucket in the final seconds, a strong drive baseline and finish over Russell Westbrook to lift the Bucks to a 97-95 win.

Russell Westbrook may have ended Thon Maker’s career.

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela may be the frontrunner for the Most Improved Player award this season in the NBA.

Kevin Durant’s controversial move to join the Golden State Warriors will be talked about forever.

The biggest move of the offseason was Kyrie Irving making the switch from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Boston Celtics. There was a lot of speculation regarding just how that would work out, and it didn’t take long to realize that the fit was pretty perfect. Irving, already a great player with the Cavs, may […]

After starting the season better than anyone, the Houston Rockets have fallen on some hard times.

It’s no secret that there can be double-standards for the stars in the NBA. That appeared to really be the case today in the first quarter of the Warriors and Cavaliers Christmas Day matchup. After having already been served one technical foul early in the first quarter, Kevin Durant looked like he was going to […]

Draymond Green’s Christmas gift for NBA fans comes in the form of a troll. Green will sport Arthur-themed shoes on Christmas Day, a clear reference to LeBron James’ antics earlier this season on Instagram. https://twitter.com/juliephayer/status/945369304018518016 This is an all-time great troll move by Green ahead one of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season. […]

One of the great steals of the past NBA Draft already appears to be pretty clear. Los Angeles Lakers rookie Kyle Kuzma has taken the league by storm in some respects, bursting onto the scene alongside the most-talked about rookie in Lonzo Ball and going about his business putting up impressive numbers. After the third […]

It’s hard to disagree with Paul George after last night. Russell Westbrook lifted the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 120-117 win over the Atlanta Hawks Friday night after drilling a 3-pointer with under two seconds left in the game. It capped off a 30-point, 15-assist night for the reigning MVP and had all of his […]

Manu Ginobili is truly an ageless wonder for the San Antonio Spurs. The 40-year-old legend drilled a rainbow 3-pointer to lift the Spurs over the Celtics, 105-102, on Friday night.

The Golden State Warriors got blown out in Oklahoma City tonight but Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant still found reason to laugh on the bench in the fourth quarter.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook provided more epic theatrics Wednesday night during the matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder.

LaVar Ball joined CNN Saturday night for what would be an extremely wild ride in a 20-plus minute interview. The main point of the interview was discussing president Donald Trump and the role he played in Ball’s son LiAngelo’s return from China after being arrested for shoplifting. Ball was his usual character during the live […]

New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins has been ejected after elbowing Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook in the head Monday night during the third quarter.

An odd moment arose during the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns Friday night at Staples Center.
