The NFL made sure to pay their respects […]

After hours of speculation, the Jacksonville Jaguars confirmed the rumors by selecting Travon Walker with the first pick in the 2022 NFL draft. The move brings new fire to a young team that is in desperate need of help from both sides of the ball. However… Walker nearly wasn’t able to attend the biggest moment […]

The Phoenix Suns are now backed into a corner. They were already facing an uphill battle when their best player and best scorer went down with an injury. Now, they’re currently tied 2-2 against the New Orleans Pelicans, with the underdog team having all the momentum in the world. This is looking like a dangerous […]

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado has been a bright spot for the team so far. The undrafted guard has quickly become a fan favorite, due to many reasons.

Shohei Ohtani is a one-of-a-kind baseball talent. In a sport that enforces rigid roles to maximize the talent of their players, Ohtani has done something completely insane.

Karl-Anthony Towns podium presence has been rather polarizing, to say the least. His non-committal and easygoing tone can rub some people off the wrong way.

[…]

Take a bow, Jayson Tatum! The Boston Celtics star was absolutely electric in a crucial Game 3 for the team, seemingly scoring at will on offense while locking up Kevin Durant on the other end.

Over the last few years, we’ve gotten to know Kawhi Leonard a lot better than before. We used to think of the Los Angeles Clippers star as a cold, calculating robot, in the mold of Tim Duncan. Now, though, we know that that isn’t the case. In his own words, Kawhi is a “Fun Guy”. […]

Despite not being explicitly named, the former NBA star has been rumored to be the victim of embezzlement. This is involving a case where a former assistant of the star reportedly stole $5 million from him. Well, […]

Draymond Green is a special kind of player. Unlike most of today’s stars, the Golden State Warriors forward isn’t much of a scorer.
