With the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected former TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston.

In fact, many have […]

Could the Minnesota Timberwolves trade All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks?

Over the past few seasons, the Los Angeles Clippers have overtaken the San Antonio Spurs to become the franchise that’s synonymous with the term “load management.” However, where Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was sitting out his aging stars against lower-level competition in order to preserve them from the playoffs, the Clippers have been sitting […]

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. salvaged his rookie year with strong play towards the end of the 2022-23 regular season. Still, it’s still a curious choice for him to take to Twitter and second controversial ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins’ opinion that the Milwaukee Bucks season was “a complete failure.” “Are we serious right now,” […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are going to hear a lot of external noise about whether or not their star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George can bring the Clippers franchise the first championship in its history.

Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins may be left scratching his head at the comments that All-Star guard Kyrie Irving directed towards him on Twitter, as the impending free agent would call Jenkins immature for calling out his team amid a playoff loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Minnesota Timberwolves clawed their way into the 2023 NBA Playoffs without an identity, seemingly without enough chemistry and with multiple questions heading into the upcoming offseason.

The Brooklyn Nets were swept by the Philadelphia 76ers in the First Round of the 2023 NBA Finals, mercifully ending a grueling season filled with twists and turns that organizations usually don’t find themselves having to navigate. Now with a chance to sit back, take a breath and assess the roster, the Nets can look […]

Though the Brooklyn Nets wound up getting swept by the Philadelphia 76ers in the First Round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, you have to give it to them. The Nets are a tough and gritty team that forced the Sixers — including 2023 NBA MVP candidate Joel Embiid — to adjust and didn’t make any […]

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson is one of the more underrated playmakers in the league, averaging career-highs of 20.8 points and 4.4 assists per game in the 2022-23 season while also starting in all 61 games he played in. A creative shot-creator that’s grown as a facilitator over the course of his career, Clarkson could […]

Despite pairing an All-Star guard in Kyrie Irving with superstar Luka Doncic, ESPN analyst Vince Carter doesn’t believe the Dallas Mavericks are true contenders right now. “No. I don’t think so. Not right now,” Carter tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Mac Engel. “The reasons are many,” Carter continues, “but among them are they need, and […]

There are many people who seem to wish the Dallas Mavericks didn’t trade for All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, including former NBA star and current ESPN analyst Vince Carter.

The Houston Rockets are going to be making splashes this offseason, that’s for sure. With 10-time All-Star James Harden linked to the Rockets in yet another report, rumblings that they could have interest in Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, and Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson on their free agent target list as well, it’s seeming […]

LeBron James is the greatest player of his generation, at the very least. Starring for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Los Angeles Lakers over the span of a 20-year career, LeBron has somehow remained dominant despite Father Time trying his very best to catch up to him. However, there’s no question that LeBron has […]

With the Atlanta Hawks currently down 3-1 in the 2023 NBA Playoffs to the Boston Celtics, their season looks like it’s on the verge of being over.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray probably knew what was coming after he made ill-advised contact with an official following their loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 4, but it’ll still sting to miss what could be a season-ending Game 5. The NBA announced Monday that Murray will indeed be suspended for his actions. Dejounte […]

After completing a trade with the Green Bay Packers for superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets knew there was a chance that Rodgers would want to continue wearing his familiar No. 12 jersey, even in new threads. The only problem with that is that the Jets retired the No. 12 jersey in honor […]

The Toronto Raptors ended their 2022-23 campaign with a 41-41 record that seemed to have to fight to get.

Memphis Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks has become a household name after a season in which he played a villain role for the NBA, constantly getting into back-and-forth taunting matches with opposing players — from superstars like LeBron James to bench players like Theo Pinson. While his behavior has endeared him to some fans, it hasn’t […]

Philadelphia Eagles fans will have to keep holding their breath with the latest rumors surrounding Tennessee Titans star running back Derrick Henry. Over the weekend, former NFL defensive end and co-host of the American Ninja Warriors series Akbar Gbaja-Biamila sent Twitter into a frenzy with the claim that Henry would be heading to the Eagles […]

It’s been a whirlwind season for the Brooklyn Nets. After all of the offseason drama surrounding Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, both players ended up remaining with the franchise.

Perhaps the writing was on the wall this afternoon, as Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters that there were “definitely more things to consider today, given our performance the other night.” Nonetheless, it was still a bit surprising when the Warriors announced that veteran forward Draymond Green would be coming off of […]

The Houston Rockets are projected to have $62-64 million in cap space this offseason and they already know at least one player they play to target in free agency. Plenty of attention will be on Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden because of his history with the Rockets. However, Houston is expected to pursue Brooklyn Nets […]

Nobody could ever accuse Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards of lacking confidence. With his team down 0-3 to the top-seeded Denver Nuggets in the First Round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Timberwolves are officially in win-or-go-home territory. However, just because the probability of the Timberwolves overtaking the Nuggets in this series is low, it […]

Just because the Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $72.75 million contract doesn’t mean that they won’t be looking to add a quarterback through the 2023 NFL Draft.

Los Angeles Lakers center Tristan Thompson has enjoyed a long and successful 12-year NBA career after being selected with the fourth overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.

The Sacramento Kings are up 2-0 against the most dominant team of the last decade, so if anyone should have excessive confidence during the 2023 NBA Playoffs it’s them. Especially with the Kings ending a 17-year playoff drought thanks to career seasons from stars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. Fox, the 2023 Clutch Player of […]
