There are a lot of rookies that may want to prove themselves in the upcoming season. After all, the 2024 NBA Draft class was dubbed as one of the weakest in league history. This was despite being headlined by guys like Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher. While the top of the class usually gets all […]

There may be no games going on but the recruitment wars don’t ever stop in the SEC. Mike Elko was going up against the likes of Steve Sarkisian and Sherrone Moore for Marco Jones. Now, the young edge had to make a decision. Did he go with Michigan, Texas, or the Texas A&M football program? […]

The dream of winning an international trophy has taken a brief pause for the Americans. Uruguay wiped the floor with the USMNT in the group stages. This eventually led to the Stars and Stripes getting eliminated from winning the Copa America. Mathias Olivera sealed their fate and not even Christian Pulisic could respond to keep […]

The USA Gymnastics Olympics trials have ended and the squad has been locked in. There were a lot of aspirants who tried to book a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics but one reigned supreme over the others like she always does. Simone Biles will try to impress on the mats once again. Before she […]

Despite Klay Thompson’s big NBA Free Agency move to the Dallas Mavericks, the Golden State Warriors are doing one final act for the second member of the Splash Brothers. The Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr-led squad had something in store for him. What is it, you may ask? Well, they are retiring his number 11 […]

The Golden State Warriors’ collapse from its dynastic reign is starting to look evident now. But, there was a point where everything shifted prior to Stephen Curry losing Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in NBA Free Agency. It was not when Draymond Green started being very aggressive in their 2023-24 nor was it starting […]

The Golden State Warriors have officially lost Klay Thompson. He has signed with the Dallas Mavericks to partner up with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic through NBA Free Agency. While the collapse was very evident since last season, there were still questions in people’s minds. A lot of them had to do with why Stephen […]

It was a big day for the Boston Celtics faithful. Everything started off with Wyc Grousbeck along with the other owners selling shares of the team. Then, the NBA Free Agency craze hit everyone inside the organization. Derrick White was the first to get a massive deal. After that, it was Jayson Tatum’s turn to […]

The USA Gymnastics squad is locked in for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Trials have just wrapped up trials and some very intriguing talents have qualified to represent the Stars and Stripes. While Frederick Richard and Brody Malone lead the way for the men’s team, the women’s squad is far more scary. It all starts with […]

Top-end talents are now moving all around the league for NBA Free Agency. A lot of teams are awaiting some members of squads that have reached the last series of the postseason such that they can impart that knowledge to other squads. The latest person to join that trend is Derrick Jones Jr. Who are […]

The San Antonio Spurs needed veteran talent and NBA Free Agency just handed them probably the greatest available mentor in the league. Victor Wembanyama is great but having Chris Paul around him to help in his development will do wonders. There are obviously a lot of big teams that may have wanted the Point God […]

All good things come to an end, but they should not come down burning in flames. The Splash Brothers was the greatest duo in not just Golden State Warriors history but also arguably in all of the 77 years of the league. Stephen Curry perfectly complemented Klay Thompson’s playstyle and vice versa. The addition of […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have gone through a lot of sagas since the end of the NBA season. They got JJ Redick and are planning to clear more space after LeBron James opted out of his deal. So, what’s the next move? Well, it looks like they are getting some reinforcements to help Anthony Davis. […]

Even if they got drafted into the league two years apart, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were always the staple stars in the Golden State Warriors system. Before Steve Kerr and the success started coming in, it was the Splash Brothers who scrapped against a loaded early 2010s NBA. Now, the trendsetting and generation-altering duo […]

The Cleveland Guardians have yet to endure double-digit losses at home. A big part of that is because Stephen Vogt has been inclined to make tough decisions that turn out well for the AL Central-leading squad. Yet again, they pulled off a move to boost their pitching woes after going six for 10 in their […]

It was a big night for LeBron James’ household. After years of hard work and helping Bronny James reach the pinnacle of basketball, it has finally happened. The Los Angeles Lakers have selected the young James with the 55th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft. Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick will still see how […]

The hype around Caitlin Clark is truly worth it. A lot of the records in the WNBA have been left to the question — when will, not if, the Indiana Fever rookie break these seemingly unreal WNBA feats? She once again faced the Jewell Lloyd-led Seattle Storm and notched something special on her resume that […]

Being in a basketball family is surely different but LeBron James’ household took it to the next level. Savannah James is now the mother of a house that has two players in the association after the NBA Draft. He saw The King go through the hardships of the ride up until his current stint with […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ move with their 55th overall NBA Draft pick was expected. LeBron James has long been vocal about his interest in playing with Bronny James. So they made sure to get him to one of the best basketball colleges. Unfortunately, it did not pan out with Andy Enfield and the USC basketball […]

The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever became instant rivals after the 2024 WNBA Draft. It’s not because their fans got into a scuffle or the teams woke up with bad blood. Instead, it was because they drafted Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. In all fairness, the games are close and the scorelines usually don’t tell […]

The basketball world was shocked when the ninth pick of the 2024 NBA Draft came in. It was the Memphis Grizzlies who held the pick and they clearly needed a boost on all fronts. But, no one expected it to be the two-time National Player of the Year from Purdue basketball. The Zach Edey pick […]

The run in being the greatest franchise in the league does not stop with Banner 18. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum still have a lot to give to the Boston Celtics after winning the NBA Finals. Celebrations may still be ongoing while fans of other squads are staying mad but the NBA Draft is where […]

The burden of being the number overall pick is hard to carry and now Zaccharie Risacher has to do that. He is coming into an Atlanta Hawks squad that has fallen short of making it back to the Eastern Conference Finals since they made it three years ago. The Trae Young-led squad now has the […]

The New York Knicks are slowly starting to be one of the toughest contenders in the Eastern Conference. They have all the depth that a team requires to match the Boston Celtics. Not to mention, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart already had some success in the postseason despite having a depleted squad. They had just […]

Connor McDavid and the Kris Knoblauch-led Edmonton Oilers were so close to joining the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs in what could have been the greatest comeback in Stanley Cup Final history. Unfortunately, Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers were the ones who got to hoist Lord Stanley after a 2-1 Game 7 victory. Now, their […]

There are a lot of lives that are about to change in the 2024 NBA Draft. Whether the top pick is Alex Sarr or Zaccharie Risacher, all of them will get big opportunities that 99% of the human population can only dream of. Understandably, hopes have never been higher for these guys, and the anxiety […]

The past few years have not been good for Tim Hardaway Jr. Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks have allowed younger guys to have more minutes which meant that the veteran eventually fell out of the rotation. The addition of Kyrie Irving along with the constant rise of Luka Doncic also did not help him […]

When players from college just randomly team up on one offseason, things start to smell fishy. First, it was Bam Adebayo who posits that the New York Knicks’ former Villanova players —Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson, and Donte DiVincenzo — had some under-the-table discussions with Mikal Bridges. Now, it sounds like Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton […]

It finally happened. The championship-winning Villanova Wildcats have reunited within the New York Knicks system. There were a lot of subtle hints that Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, and Josh Hart made before Mikal Bridges finally caved in. Eventually, the Brooklyn Nets also wanted assets in return so they made the move. While a lot of […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are revamped and ready to go for a deep Super Bowl push come this season. Mike Tomlin had just gotten a new contract, which means that they have a long-term plan to keep this squad in contention. They have a veteran quarterback leading the way in Russell Wilson while Justin Fields is […]

It took one day after the College World Series for Jim Schlossnagle to make a decision. He helped the Texas A&M baseball program reach the biggest game of his players’ careers. The usual expectation is to build on that success and bolster the Aggies. This is such that they avenge their loss to the Tennessee […]

Rivalries prior to entering the NBA Draft are nothing new. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird had a thing going prior to even making it to the association. But, it is rare that two people who rarely meet each other on the court blast each other off it. This is exactly the situation from NBA G […]

Brent Venables is taking a page off of Ryan Day and the Ohio State football program’s book. His Oklahoma football squad had just landed a commit two years down the line and beat out other programs like Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes and the aforementioned Buckeyes. The new Sooners prospect out of high school, who is […]

The Stanley Cup Final was extended up until Game 7 but the Florida Panthers have finally won it. For three straight games after going up 3-0, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers were trying to do what was only accomplished by the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs. But, Paul Maurice along with Matthew Tkachuk and Carter […]

Any NHL fan’s dream would be to score the winning goal in the Stanley Cup Final. It all starts with a driveway, a pair of skates, a stick, net, and a ball. Eventually, some people like Kyle Okposo reach the pinnacle of the sport and come face to face with their dream. For him, it […]

The NBA Draft is fast approaching and with no clear-cut top-end talent in it, there are some steady risers on front-office boards. One of them just so happens to be an NBA Draft target of the Denver Nuggets. He goes by the name of DaRon Holmes II and he has been phenomenal with the Dayton […]

Sam Presti knows that he has a championship-caliber core in the Oklahoma City Thunder already. They have a fairly complete starting five with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the charge. However, some pieces within the roster need to be changed such that they notch the coveted Larry O’Brien trophy. This is why there may be big moves […]

There are a ton of reasons for a team’s success other than the star who is front and center. The Golden State Warriors dynasty knows this more than most others in the past decade. While Stephen Curry has still been their primary off-ball great and Draymond Green continues to be a defensive menace, a guy […]

The clash between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky was a masterclass from two college rivals. Angel Reese absolutely took over for the home squad while Caitlin Clark was dropping all sorts of dimes to keep her squad afloat. It ended with an 88 to 87 scoreline which saw the Fever as the losing side. […]
