The saga of Deshaun Watson continues on to this day. The most recent development, of course, is the Cleveland Browns star’s accusing going on HBO for an exclusive interview.

The Golden State Warriors’ domination of the Dallas Mavericks is the product of a combined team effort.

Tiger Woods pulled off the near-impossible yesterday, qualifying for the next round of the PGA Championship on a bad leg. It was a gutsy performance from one of the best to ever do it.

Game 2 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors was a tale of two halves. In the first two quarters, Luka Doncic and co. were near-unstoppable, as they came out scorching-hot. In the second half, though, the Warriors caught fire, and the visiting team couldn’t hold on to their 19-point lead. Obviously, the […]

Luka Doncic is phenomenal. There’s no other way to say it; the Dallas Mavericks star has been one of the best players in the league already. Despite still being a “young” player, Doncic has quickly cemented his spot amongst the game’s best players today. It’s clear that he’s on the path to basketball greatness. On […]

Kevon Looney has long been the underappreciated member of the Golden State Warriors. The UCLA big man has been a solid role player for the team ever since their 2016 runs. However, he’s always found himself taking a backseat to the other big men in the roster, especially Draymond Green. On Friday night, however, Kevon […]

Who knew that the Los Angeles Rams had some acting chops to them? Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford are more known for their exploits on the football field.

Oh, how […]

The Phoenix Suns being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs is surprising on it’s own. What’s more surprising, however, is the manner in which they were eliminated. They were blown out of the water in Game 7, at home, in one of the most embarrassing beatdowns in playoff history. Many fans immediately went […]

Trevor Story was a man possessed on Thursday night. The Boston Red Sox found themselves in a huge hole early in the game, going down 4-0 against the Mariners. They badly needed a hero to save them from the rut they dug themselves in. Luckily, they got their wish and then some. Trevor Story would […]

To say that the Miami Heat’s Game 2 was embarrassing is an understatement. After starting off strong, the home team seemingly lost all its momentum during the first half. The result was one of the most lopsided wins of the playoffs this year, as Jimmy Butler and co. failed to mount another come back. Speaking […]

A few days removed from completely annihilating the Phoenix Suns, the Dallas Mavericks looked like a different team to start the Western Conference Finals. Luka Doncic and the rest of the squad looked overmatched against the Golden State Warriors, failing to put up much of a fight in a 112-87 Game 1 loss. Doncic, in particular, […]

The Miami Heat lost in more ways than one in Game 2. Aside from getting blown out by the Boston Celtics, the team lost one of their most important players.

It was clear after the Boston Celtics’ Game 1 collapse that they badly needed Marcus Smart back.

It’s why he’s been invited to the NBA Celebrity All-Star game multiple times now. Now, J Cole is looking to take his basketball talents […]

The Minnesota Vikings are essentially running it back next season on offense. Most of the core of the offense remained on the team, such as Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook, and Kirk Cousins. For them to see improvements next year, they’ll need to undergo evolution in the off-season. It does seem like the team is already […]

For the longest time, Jason Kidd was the butt of many coaching jokes by NBA fans. Whenever a struggling team was looking for a new coach, fans would mockingly throw out Kidd’s name on there. It’s easy to see why: the ex-Dallas Mavericks point guard had lackluster stints as the head coach of the Nets […]

The Boston Red Sox’ 2022 campaign has been… well, not good, to say the least. After making it to the ALCS last season, the team has seemingly fallen off of a cliff. They sit at a terrible 13-21 record. It’s early in the season, but it’s safe to say that starting off like that isn’t […]

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest instigators in league history. Aside from being a phenomenal superstar, the former Chicago Bulls legend is well-known for his trash-talking ability. He’s well-known to fire up both his teammates and opponents with his words and actions. Well, apparently that carried over to his days with the Washington Wizards. […]

Something was off about Chris Paul in Game 7 of the Phoenix Suns-Dallas Mavericks series. It was clear that the Point God wasn’t quite himself the entire game. It’s not rare for Paul to struggle occasionally, but to see him be taken out of his element was rather peculiar. Well, a recent report revealed the […]

Instead, Paul turned in one of the worst performances of his career: 10 points and just 4 assists for the entire […]

The Dallas Mavericks are for real. Prior to this season, the team has shown flashes of brilliance behind Luka Doncic. However, the supporting cast has more often than not faltered at the worst of times. Now, though, Luka’s finally got company to help him out, and it’s an unlikely hero. Luka Doncic may have been […]

Trae Young and Luka Doncic’s careers are forever tied at the hip. Ever since that fateful trade between the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks, they’ve been linked. When one player succeeds, the other will inevitably be brought down by other fans. It’s the nature of sports discourse today, especially on social media. And yet, […]

Luka-freaking-Doncic, man. The Dallas Mavericks superstar has been electric during the entire playoffs… and yet, he saved his best for last. Facing off against the Phoenix Suns in Game 7, Doncic put on a show and helped his team grab a 30-point lead. It’s clear that the Slovenian phenom is raring to get to the […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and Damian Lillard have a bit of complicated history together. With Dame Time in tow, the team enjoyed great regular season success. However, despite the obvious skills of these teams, they were never quite able to make it over the hump. This failure to launch into championship greatness is one of […]

Shohei Ohtani is the epitome of baseball excellence. The Los Angeles Angels star is unique in the sense that he’s the only two-way player in the league today. One day, he’ll be pitching strikeouts like it’s nothing. The next day, he’ll be bombing away homers as the designated hitter of the team. His ability to […]

There’s always something about the Las Vegas Raiders, huh. Despite making major splashes in the offseason, the team just couldn’t shake the stench of controversy from them.

Ronald Acuna Jr.’s return to action from injury has been the highlight of the season of the Atlanta Braves. However, over the last few days, the slugger has missed several games.
