James Harden knows what this story means: Buckle up, Portland Trail Blazers fans, because Friday’s tilt against the San Antonio Spurs could get a bit dicey after some late-breaking injury news about Damian Lillard. Damian Lillard (right hamstring tendinopathy) is out for tonight’s game in San Antonio. — Portland Trail Blazers (@trailblazers) April 16, 2021 […]

Over the past few seasons, speculation and analysis around the Cleveland Browns centered primarily around their quarterback Baker Mayfield and superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. Cleveland fans and football savants will dive a little deeper and talk about their dangerous rushing offense, helmed by a similarly stellar pairing in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. […]

If you were unaware, YouTube vlogger Jake Paul has increased the stakes on his attention-getting stunts. His latest project? Breaking into the professional boxing game. With a 2-0 professional record (2 KOs), Paul has apparently decided he has graduated from whaling on fellow YouTubers (AnEsonGib) and retired NBA players. He wants to move up the […]

If you’ve somehow forgotten or written off Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, consider Wednesday’s 147-109 thrashing of the Oklahoma City Thunder a reminder. This was not only a resounding statement by Golden State that they are still a force to be reckoned with in the NBA, but also a full flag planting by […]

There is a popular saying that goes: “two things are certain in life: death and taxes”. Well, at least for NBA fans, there is most likely a third item that can be added to that list, which should go: death, taxes, and Blazers star Damian Lillard getting forgotten. Well, it looks like Lillard is starting […]

Ever since LeBron James and Anthony Davis went down to injury, there are many that have doubted the Los Angeles Lakers’ supremacy in the Western Conference. Without their two stars, they are now vulnerable, and probably little chance of catching the West’s top four seeds, even with both James and Davis set to return sooner […]

If you haven’t heard recently, Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers is really, really, REALLY invested in winning this year’s Defensive Player of the Year award, particularly at the expense of Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. In a recent interview with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols, Simmons illustrated his latest case for taking the award over Gobert: […]

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA in only his third season in the league. Naturally, this also means he’s one of the most vocal. For example, here’s what Luka had to say about this season’s 7-10 seed play-in tournament for the playoffs: Nice comment by Luka Doncic […]

Folks, it looks like the Arizona Wildcats are back–and in very quick fashion. After recently parting ways with former head coach Sean Miller, the Wildcats wasted no time in finding a long term replacement in Tommy Lloyd. Stadium analyst Jeff Goodman broke Arizona’s newest hire in a tweet: BREAKING: Arizona is set to hire Gonzaga […]

While it was overshadowed by Steph Curry’s historic scoring night, the Denver Nuggets’ loss to Curry’s Golden State Warriors was punctuated by a nightmare scenario: Jamal Murray, the darling of last year’s playoff bubble in Orlando, and Denver’s best perimeter scorer went down to what has been diagnosed as a torn ACL. He will miss […]

Monday was a special, and somewhat bittersweet day, not just for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, but for basketball fans worldwide. It was the fifth anniversary of the late Kobe Bryant’s very last game in 2016. Five years ago, an injury-plagued 20-year veteran of the NBA suited up for his last time in the […]

Boy, oh boy is it a good time to be a fan of the New York Knicks. Julius Randle has blossomed into a legitimate two-way star, RJ Barrett is right behind him, and the rest of the team is really buying into head coach Tom Thibodeau’s rough-and-tumble defensive philosophy. There remains one big flaw, though: […]

On Monday night, Stephen Curry scored 53 points on nearly 60% shooting from the field (58.3% FG) to take his place as the greatest scorer in the history of the Golden State Warriors. That, by itself, is not necessarily notable. He is one of the longest-tenured Warriors of all time, and his revolutionary weaponization (haters […]

Credit the Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for not sitting on their laurels. Fresh off of their world-beating Super Bowl LV win, the Bucs opted to shell out big money to keep their entire roster intact. Brady is back on board, and essentially cosigned the Bucs’ decision to get the gang back together […]

Utah Jazz fans, you must all be fuming that your team’s 24-game home win streak was snapped last night (L, 121-125). Not only did your team, the best in the mighty Western Conference, lose and end that streak. To make matters worse, your team beefed it to the Washington Wizards. Well, if you’re feeling bad, […]

In the current state of the NBA, with young stars like Zion Williamson and Luka Doncic exploding out of the gates, it is a sad reality for many young players that teams don’t have nearly as much patience as they once did regarding their development. These days teams are expecting and seeing immediate dividends on […]

Well, at least something fun will have come out of “Bountygate,” though it’s safe to say no one thought it would be this. Kevin James is set to portray New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. Read that again. Now look at this to verify that what you read was real: Kevin James is going […]

Well folks, it looks like the Carolina Panthers are taking this idiom very seriously: the NFL is a quarterback’s league. Just a year after getting rid of franchise cornerstone Cam Newton and replacing him with arguably the best placeholder in the league in Teddy Bridgewater, Carolina recently managed to leapfrog both the San Fransisco 49ers […]

In big news for the world of both sports fandom and, strangely enough, cryptocurrency, YouTuber Jake Paul’s viral and violent knockout of former NBA player Nate Robinson is reportedly drawing a sale of $10 million dollars as an NFT. Jake Paul’s knockout of Nate Robinson is being sold as an NFT for $10M, per @TMZ_Sports […]

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a quick second: the Golden State Warriors are really bad this season. There is simply no other argument to be made for a team that lost by 50 points to the bumbling Toronto Raptors. But if nothing else, as long as Steph Curry is healthy, the Golden State Warriors […]

If there is one word to describe Friday night’s game for Denver Nuggets fans, it’s “phew.” After clunking a potential game-icing free throw in the closing seconds of the slugfest against the San Antonio Spurs, Michael Porter Jr. made up for it with one of the most clutch defensive plays of the season so far. […]

In an impressive statement win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Zion Williamson headlined the New Orleans Pelicans with a historic performance. Zion put the cherry on top on Friday’s cake with an absolutely eye-popping stat line of 37 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists on 15-of-28 shooting. His boards and dimes were both career highs for […]

If you weren’t aware of the NBA history that was made tonight, Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine put on an absolute scoring clinic in the first half of tonight’s game versus the Atlanta Hawks, dropping 39 points on 13/19 FG and 7/9 from three. Though he would cool off in the second half (11 […]

In what can only be described as a disappointing night for the 10th-seeded Chicago Bulls, who lost 120-108 to the quietly solid Atlanta Hawks. However, there was one bright spot and positive takeaway from the evening: Zach LaVine is a scoring machine. Though he cooled off in a big way in the second half scoring […]

Good news for Toronto Raptors fans: there continues to be no shortage of love between Toronto and newcomer Gary Trent Jr. The 22-year-old seems to have found a home with the Raptors after he was dealt by the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Norman Powell, and the swooning of head coach Nick Nurse over […]

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards is giving voters more reasons to consider him as this season’s top first-year player. Despite his possibly season-ending injury, LaMelo Ball of the Charlotte Hornets is still the presumptive 2021 Rookie of the Year, as one of the leaders of a great comeback story brewing in Charlotte. It’s highly unlikely […]

In tragic news from the world of music, legendary rapper DMX (short for “Dark Man X”) passed away at the age of 50 from a heart attack. The artist was a fixture in the hip-hop community, and was seen as one of the great voices of New York City, as Ja Morant and other NBA […]

If you are a Boston Celtics fan pulling for newcomer Evan Fournier to push the Mean Green Machine over the top, you might have to wait a little longer: Brad Stevens says Evan Fournier won't go with the team on their upcoming road trip. Boston is on the road for games in Denver on Sunday, […]

Upon hearing the phrase “NBA merchandise,” fans probably think of team memorabilia like a jersey, other gear, or even a specialized ticket. But lately, the most trending commodity in the world of NBA merch is NFT, enabling fans to not just own keepsakes but actual moments from their favorite players and teams. The latest player […]

Okay, Jerry Jones, let’s talk about something very serious before the NFL draft. Your Dallas Cowboys are arguably the biggest brand in American sports right now, battling with the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Yankees, and New York Knicks. The star is synonymous with Americana, and your team dominates most headlines during the NFL season, […]

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s that time of year again. The Masters are upon us, and over the past two years, it seems one new constant has emerged to take Tiger Woods’ vacant throne as the king of the PGA: Dustin Johnson. Golf observers know that Dustin Johnson has kept his ranking at #1 in the […]

If there’s one thing New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas is not, it is that he is dishonest. No one can say that about Douglas, including Sam Darnold. In a statement echoing Detroit’s sentiments towards their erstwhile quarterback Matthew Stafford, Douglas opened up about the deal that sent the Jets’ young stud Sam Darnold […]

It’s only the first round of the 2021 Masters, and we already have history to point to and celebrate. Tommy Fleetwood created the memory of a lifetime as the year’s first major — played in November of last year but on schedule this year — returned to the pines of Augusta National. Fleetwood put his […]

In what was yet another depressingly disappointing year for the Cincinnati Bengals, the team did walk away from 2020 with some real hope for the future. Their offense has the potential to be something next season, helmed by their 2020 No.1 pick Joe Burrow who is flanked by legitimately good weapons in Tee Higgins and […]

It looks like we finally have some clarity on what Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green yelled at rookie James Wiseman that got him ejected against the New York Knicks last January. In the middle of a 119-104 loss, Green was ejected by the referees after going on a NSFW tirade on the rookie following […]

It seems like a yearly cycle at this point, so raise your hand if you’ve heard this phrase before: the New York Giants look very interesting this season. Seriously, think about it. After flashes of brilliance his rookie year, quarterback Daniel Jones definitely regressed in 2020. Most of his metrics were down, and he seemed […]

One of the greatest young prizes in NCAA basketball just put his name in the hat for the 2021 NBA Draft. Freshman Keon Johnson of the University of Tennessee Vols is forgoing a second go-around in the orange and white to join the 2021 draft class, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.  Johnson is the latest […]

Well, it looks like the New York Jets will be taking a quarterback with the second pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Incumbent starter Sam Darnold has been dealt to greener offensive pastures with the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have seemingly found their answer at the quarterback position. Darnold is a large and athletic gunslinger, […]

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, the Baylor Bears shocked the world of collegiate hoops when they throttled the prior-to undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs for the 2021 NCAA national championship. Gonzaga’s one-and-done star Jalen Suggs, with his incredible draft profile, ceiling, and recent performance is projected to go within the top five picks […]
