It’s spooky SZN in the NBA, and you know what that means! Our favorite NBA players get to be kids for a day and dress up like children going trick-or-treating! Well, not quite: while many NBA players do put on a costume for Halloween, some take it a step further. Case in point: Los Angeles […]

Tom Brady has it all in the NFL. MVP, Super Bowls, multiple records, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB has earned virtually every accolade he could earn. But despite his on-field success, he credits someone else in his life as the real MVP of his off-court life: Tom Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen. In his podcast “Let’s […]

The Boston Celtics are doing… uh, not great this season. They dropped to 2 – 4 this season after losing yet ANOTHER double overtime game, this time against the Washington Wizards. It’s been a tumultuous season that involved ugly blowouts, close wins against bottom-feeding teams, and getting booed in their home stadium. Things are certainly […]

Najee Harris has been on an absolute tear for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie running back has taken on an insane work load for the offense, carrying the third-most touches in the league behind Titans RB Derrick Henry and Saints RB Alvin Kamara. Instead of getting exhausted about it, though, Harris is looking forward to […]

Just when the Houston Astros looked comfortably in the lead, the Atlanta Braves swoops back in to turn it around. In Game 4 of their World Series matchup, the Braves were down 1 – 2 at the bottom of the seventh inning. 1 out in, shortstop Dansby Swanson came in clutch and hit this beautiful […]

Houston Astros star Jose Altuve has been the driving force for the Houston Astros’ success in recent years.

In Game 4 of their […]

The Houston Astros are in a bit of a pickle right now. They lost Game 3 of the World Series against the Atlanta Braves and are now down 1 – 2 in the series. Losing Game 4 would be catastrophic to their chances of winning the title this season, so the Astros made a big […]

Week 8 of the NFL started off with a bang, as two top teams in the league duked it out in an instant classic. The Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers had an absolute barnburner of a game. Sadly for Cardinals fans, the game didn’t go in their favor, as Rasul Douglas made a […]

Thursday’s game between the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz marked a historic moment for Filipino fans. The game marked the first time two players of Filipino descent played against each other: rookie Jalen Green versus reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson.

The list of injuries grows larger and larger for the Green Bay Packers. Entering their Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, they were already missing the services of Davante Adams and Allen Lazard due to COVID protocols, and now, they may have suffered another big loss in tight end Robert Tonyan. While going for […]

Watching sports leagues today have both been easier and harder at the same time. On one hand, big-time leagues like the NBA, NFL, and the MLB are very accessible to a lot of people. You can watch your favorite sport on any device available today… but the catch is that you have to pay a […]

The Boston Celtics are off to a disappointing start to their season. They are now 2-3 in their first five games, and their losses have been… uh, not great, to say the least. They lost a double overtime heartbreaker to the New York Knicks in their first game, then got beat up by the visiting […]

Ever since Scottie Barnes was drafted fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2021 NBA Draft, his name has been tied with Orlando Magic rookie Jalen Suggs. Fans have been hyping up a potential rivalry between the two players, since their draft positions were so close (and Suggs was projected to be the fourth […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are an interesting team to watch heading into the season. There’s a lot of questions surrounding this team right now, most notably about their future. Let’s take a look at some of these questions and see if we can give some predictions on what will be the answer to those questions. […]

Carmelo Anthony has long been regarded as one of the league’s greatest scorers. The Los Angeles Lakers forward’s latest breakthrough will only further cement this legacy of his. Anthony has surpassed NBA legend Moses Malone on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, moving to 9th overall on the list. Interestingly enough, Anthony’s 9th placement means that […]

Stephen Curry is perhaps the greatest player to ever play for the Golden State Warriors. He’s broken all the shooting records of the franchise. Now, the legendary point guard adds another record to the tally book. Warriors PR reports that Curry has notched his 5,000th career assist for the franchise. He’s the only player to […]

Move over, James Harden. There’s a new star for the Houston Rockets, and he’s here to make fans forget about “The Beard”. Rockets rookie Jalen Green came into the league with the expectation that he’ll be a top-level scorer. After a rough start to the season, Green flashed his scoring potential for everyone to see. […]

Tom Brady is many things. He’s a legend of the game, the greatest to ever play in the NFL. He’s a competitor, a student of the game. But behind the seemingly robotic facade, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback also has a softer side to him. After the Bucs thoroughly dismantled the Chicago Bears at home, […]

Friday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns was pretty uneventful basketball-wise. It was a 115 – 105 rout that isn’t as close as the final score suggests. The biggest events from that game were Chris Paul’s historic achievement, Rajon Rondo getting ejected for finger-shooting a fan, and Dwight Howard and Anthony […]

It’s just the second game of the season, but it’s looking like LeBron James is in end-of-season form already for the Los Angeles Lakers… in a bad way. While the Lakers were down 87-55 in the third quarter against the Suns with 2 minutes left, James successfully stopped a Cam Johnson dunk attempt. After that… […]

The Boston Celtics are not off to a good start this season. Ime Udoka and his new team have now lost two games in a row. The first Celtic loss was a double-overtime thriller on the road against the New York Knicks. This one, though, was a lot more rough: they were thoroughly blown out […]

Phoenix Suns Chris Paul has been dubbed as the “Point God” throughout his entire career. Now, this historic milestone all but cements his spot among the league’s greatest. Against long-time friend LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, Paul joined a group of players with 20,000 points and 10,000 assists in their career. No one […]

Basketball is a fun game, and that’s true even at the highest levels of the sport. We see it all the time in the NBA, where players from opposing teams jabbing and cracking jokes with each other. However, it seems like some people didn’t get the memo for this, like this New York Knicks assistant […]

Jon Gruden has come under fire in recent weeks for his leaked emails. The emails contained racist, homophobic, and sexist language directed staff members and players of the NFL. According to former player of Gruden, the ex-Las Vegas Raiders coach has been struggling with this issue for quite a while. John Lynch, former Tampa Bay […]

We’re barely a week into NBA action, and we’re already getting some hot takes from analysts. Exhibit A: this tirade by Skip Bayless about Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook about what his role with the team should be. In an earlier episode of Undisputed, the infamous analyst declared that Westbrook should come off […]

Russell Westbrook’s debut with the Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t have gone more horribly. He only had eight points, five rebounds, and four assists along with four turnovers and 4-of-13 shooting. This terrible performance got him in the limelight, as Twitter fans roasted him and the Lakers for that awful performance. In a media session after […]

In the most recent episode of the Academy Award-winning show, Barkley roasted Kenny Smith for not making it to the […]

The Golden State Warriors were one of the greatest teams to ever play in the NBA. They were an unstoppable force during their hey-day, winning three titles in four years.

With the NBA Top 75 Greatest Players having been released recently, many fans and former players have chimed in on their potential snubs.

Carmelo Anthony is finally getting the recognition he deserves. The Los Angeles Lakers forward was named as part of the NBA’s Greatest 75 Players list released these past few days, alongside fellow Banana Boat buddies Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. Melo was understandably ecstatic at the news. The Lakers forward took to Twitter […]

Imagine having the exact same name as the greatest player of all-time in a particular sport. Kind of freaky right, that’s a lot of pressure. Now imagine playing a completely different sport while representing the city that the said GOAT came from. That’s exactly what Carolina Panthers guard Michael Jordan is feeling right now. The […]

The recent NBA offseason had two headlines dominating the entire time. One was Ben Simmons’ dramatic saga with the Philadelphia 76ers. The other was Kyrie Irving’s desperate fight against the COVID-19 vaccine. Some fans might have enjoyed the shenanigans these two players caused, but a recent survey revealed that most people didn’t like their antics. […]

Being one of the greatest, if not the greatest, players of all time has to be draining. Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso knows this all too well. After all, he was in the presence of LeBron James for his entire career before he signed with his new team (forming a close bond with him in […]

The Seattle Seahawks just can’t shake the injury bug this season. They already lost star quarterback Russell Wilson to a gruesome finger injury. Now, they have another man down, this time coming from the defensive team. In the last moments of the Seahawks’ Week 6 match against the Pittsburgh Steelers, defensive end Darrell Taylor was […]

The Phoenix Mercury ended their season in one of the worst ways possible. Down 1-2 on the road against the Chicago Sky, Diana Taurasi and the Mercury had a chance to bring the WNBA Finals to a deciding Game 5 in Phoenix. They held a big lead entering the fourth… only to succumb to Candace […]

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys continue to ride their hot start to the season. This time, the Cowboys survived a late charge from Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots to edge them out 35 – 29 in overtime. It might just be one regular season win, but this is a little more special to long-time […]

What was supposed to be an instant classic match instead ended in a sour note. Ole Miss vs Tennessee was shaping up to be a good one, as two of the top college football teams duked it out. Instead, some salty fans had to ruin the moment by injecting themselves into the game. How’d they […]

The Phoenix Suns shocked the world last season when they made it all the way to the Finals. They had an extremely successful regular-season behind Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and DeAndre Ayton, and nearly won it all before succumbing to the Milwaukee Bucks in June. However, there’s still a lot of questions surrounding this roster […]
