Draymond Green isn’t exactly the best role model out there. The Golden State Warriors veteran is a great player and all, but he’s not exactly the type who you’d want your kids to idolize.

Kyrie Irving has returned. It took him a couple of games, but it now looks like the Brooklyn Nets superstar is back to his old dominant self. His 29-point explosion in a much-needed win over a shorthanded Toronto Raptors side was a clear testament to this fact. Irving had been shaping up back to form […]

All the recent brouhaha surrounding Kyrie Irving seems to have distracted some of us from the fact that the Brooklyn Nets star is now already 30 years old. He’s also in his 12th season in the NBA, making him an elder statesman of sorts. Irving is well aware of this fact as he recently opened […]

The rumor mill on Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has been quite active again of late, which does not come as a huge surprise at this point. Tyrese Maxey has made a strong claim as the third star in the Sixers Big 3 along with Joel Embiid and James Harden, which to some extent, has […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has been on the receiving end of some heavy criticism over his decision to offer his support for both Kyrie Irving and Kanye West over their respective antisemitic scandals.

Jimmy Butler has been out of action for the Miami Heat’s last four games. Unfortunately, he still won’t be available on Friday when they take on the Washington Wizards.

Kyrie Irving is back. This also means that all the nasty and hilarious memes about the embattled Brooklyn Nets superstar have also returned.

The Philadelphia 76ers were without Joel Embiid, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey on Wednesday.
