Now, we at least get some sort of timeline for his suspension, per Shams […]

Victor Wembanyama is a freak of nature. The hype around the San Antonio Spurs rookie revolves around his impressive physical traits.

If there’s one thing that Tom Thibodeau is known for, it’s his stubborn insistence in playing his stars heavy minutes. This has been a common trend for the long-time head coach. It’s been a big criticism of the New York Knicks head coach, and it’s led to some unnecessarily dicey moments for his teams. One […]

Well, that was interesting. During the Boston Celtics’ win against the New York Knicks, star guard Jaylen Brown was ejected for seemingly no reason. Brown was sitting on Boston’s bench when he was ejected. Fans, as well as Brown’s teammates, were confused, and rightfully so. Why would a player not even on the court be […]

Chet Holmgren is finally turning into the player we expected him to be. The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie was the next big thing during his draft process.

Micah Parsons is a bad, bad man. The Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher has consistently been one of the best defenders in the league.
