It’s been more than two months since the Cleveland Browns traded for their quarterback of the future in Deshaun Watson. But their soon-to-be ex-QB in Baker Mayfield still remains on the roster. The obvious move for the Browns has been to trade Mayfield, but with the market looking quite tepid for his services, their has […]

A scary scene developed during Formula 1’s Monaco Grand Prix as Haas driver Mick Schumacher crashed directly into a barricade. Schumacher’s car spun multiple times before violently crashing into the barrier that broke the car into several pieces. But the good news is that Mick appears to be uninjured as the F1 world avoids a […]

The Boston Celtics are set to play in the highest stakes game of the NBA season thus far. It’s a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday against the Miami Heat and they’re apparently going to do things a little differently.

The Golden State Warriors just saw the most efficient shooting display in NBA history from their star guard – and it wasn’t Stephen Curry. Jordan Poole just set the nets on fire through their five games against the Dallas Mavericks. Poole was allergic to missing all series. He averaged a ridiculously high 63.6% from the […]

A public panic broke out after the Gervonta Davis-Rolando Romero fight amid fears of an active shooting situation.

J.J. Watt and Zach Ertz are in the midst of the most riveting offseason drama in the NFL. The Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowlers are beefing … over donuts.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to solve one of the biggest questions marks for their team this offseason, filling the void in the head coaching spot with Darvin Ham. But arguably the most contentious decision left is the one on Russell Westbrook. There have been numerous reports and a few little nuggets that suggested […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have made their first big move of the offseason, locking up their coach of the future in Darvin Ham. While the signing is definitely one that’s getting rave reviews across the league, including the major Lakers co-signs of Magic Johnson and LeBron James, it’s hard to say he was their clear-cut […]

The Dallas Mavericks were right at the doorstep of contending for the NBA championship. Luka Doncic was arguably the best player in the postseason, not only with his individual excellence but also through the superstar gravity he draws as the primary focal point of the Mavs’ attack. But if there’s one thing that was evident […]

The Miami Heat managed to stay alive in Game 6 with a win in Boston. A do-or-die game hardly needs any additional motivation, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green gave the Heat some extra fuel. After the Warriors clinched the Western Conference Finals win on Thursday, Draymond Green joined the TNT crew to field […]

Jimmy Butler put the Miami Heat on his back in Game 6. His performance comes 10 years after a certain LeBron James pulled off a similar act against the very same Boston Celtics. What they both had in common was having Dwyane Wade in their respective corners. The Heat icon apparently played a pivotal role […]

Jimmy Butler was not ready to go home. With the Miami Heat pushed to the brink, he came up with his greatest postseason masterpiece yet. Jimmy Buckets put the Heat on his back with 47 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. But even with those gaudy numbers visible on the box score, his play somehow […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of retooling to do this offseason. But they’ve settled in on at least one key decision. Darvin Ham is now their next head coach. The news comes from a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. LA is locking him up to a four-year deal. The Lakers have hired Darvin […]

Luka Doncic carried the Dallas Mavericks to as far as they could go. But to get to the NBA mountaintop, he still has a ways to go. Following the Mavs’ Game 5 elimination against the Golden State Warriors, Luka Doncic spoke out on what he has to do to be able to put more weight […]

In this day and age of the NBA, the very best players wield power over teams like they’ve never had in the past. But despite the fact that Stephen Curry has arguably the most superstar cache with the Golden State Warriors compared to any other player-team combo in the league, he hasn’t exactly been raring […]

As the final ticks of the game clock were trickling away, the broadcast covering Game 5 of the Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks matchup were in light debate over who deserves the first ever Western Conference Finals MVP award. There was Kevon Looney, who at times looked like Dennis Rodman out there gobbling up […]

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are right at the cusp of getting back to the mountaintop. After two years away from the game, the Warriors star and his squad are back in the NBA Finals after dispatching the Dallas Mavericks in five games. Thompson was emotional after the game. His time on the […]

After a two-year hiatus, Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA Finals. It’s not exactly a place foreign to them, given that the Warriors have made it there in five of the previous seven NBA campaigns. Now entering his sixth NBA Finals, Stephen Curry now joins Michael Jordan with six […]

The season is over for Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. But that doesn’t diminish what both player and team were able to accomplish. Mavs superstar showed why he’s a future MVP and one of the best players of his generation during this playoff run to the Western Conference Finals. In doing so, he’s made […]

The Los Angeles Lakers franchise has seen some iconic performances and big plays throughout its storied history. On May 26, 2002, Robert Horry added to that lengthy list. Every Lakers fan (and Sacramento Kings fan, for that matter) remembers Big Shot Bob sinking the game-winning triple in Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is almost assuredly not going anywhere. He’s arguably the most beloved man in Milwaukee and is under contract with the Bucks for the foreseeable future. Any Clippers or Lakers fans dreaming for an eventual move to Los Angeles would likely be waiting for a move that could very well never come. But with […]

The Miami Heat have their backs against the wall in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Boston Celtics are one win away from eliminating them and advancing to the NBA Finals. Now there are a handful of reasons as to why they find themselves a game away from being sent home. The Celtics have been formidable […]

All is not well in Brooklyn. At least in terms of the stability of its basketball team, the Brooklyn Nets, things could get dicey based on the buzz that’s been emanating from Barclays Center this offseason. The Nets have a huge decision to make on Kyrie Irving. This time last season, the team was expected […]

The boat has been rocked a bit within the Denver Nuggets organization just as a major decision looms for Nikola Jokic on his future with the franchise. Longtime Nuggets GM Tim Connelly has made the move to be the president of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jokic, who has a close relationship with Connelly, is a free […]

The NBA playoffs are never not exciting. After a grueling 82-game season, ratcheting up the stakes in the fiery crucible of postseason play is what every hoops fan yearns for all season. But it can’t be denied that some years are going to be better than others. The playoffs are obviously still well underway and […]

Jaylen Brown has had some big-time performances for the Boston Celtics throughout their playoff run. But there’s one glaring issue that continues to haunt him. The Celtics star has been plagued with the turnover bug on a few occasions, with not one, but two games with seven miscues throughout the postseason. It’s no surprise that […]

The Boston Celtics are a game away from the NBA Finals. But even before the closeout game, Jayson Tatum already made history, matching a certain Los Angeles Lakers idol – Kobe Bryant. The Celtics star hit the 1,500 playoff point plateau in Wednesday’s Game 5 contest against the Miami Heat. That makes him the second-youngest […]

The All-NBA teams were officially released on Tuesday night. While the Brooklyn Nets got representation with Kevin Durant making the All-NBA Second Team, he surprisingly wasn’t the only Nets player to get a vote. Kyrie Irving, who was basically a part-time player for the Nets this season, received a lone vote for the All-NBA Third […]

The Dallas Mavericks managed to avoid the clean sweep on Tuesday night. But the road back into the series is still one far beyond reach at this point. But rather than worry about the result and where it puts them in the context of the seven-game series, Jason Kidd just wants the Mavs to appreciate […]

Houston Rockets fans probably wouldn’t have predicted that Jalen Green’s biggest rival this season has never played a single second in the NBA. Bill Simmons and his three fateful words against the Rockets rookie have circulated around NBA Twitter, drawing the ire of several NBA stars, including Jalen Green himself. After months of online buzz, […]

Depending on how the rest of the week plays out, the Larry O’Brien trophy is right within reach of the the Boston Celtics. But whatever the result, Jayson Tatum is already going home with a rather significant plum. The Celtics star has been named to the All-NBA First Team, alongside Phoenix Suns’ Devin Booker, Dallas […]

Steve Kerr has had enough. After the tragic news in Texas of yet another school shooting taking the lives of innocent children and a teacher, the Golden State Warriors coach was clearly fed up with the inaction from the United States Government when he took the podium before Tuesday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. […]

After more than a year since the allegations made against Deshaun Watson, the issue still remains unresolved. Now with the Cleveland Browns, his situation is expected to gain some more clarity, at least when it comes to the football side of things. In a recent report from Cleveland Plain Dealer‘s Mary Kay Cabot, NFL commissioner […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are once again entering an offseason with more questions than answers. The team, as currently constructed, doesn’t appear to be built for a championship. Sixers GM Daryl Morey isn’t known to be the type to sit on his hands once the transaction period rolls around. With the NBA offseason less than a […]

Among the several road trips that the Chicago Bulls have on the calendar this season, one in particular will take them across the pond. The Bulls will take on the Detroit Pistons next season in an NBA game to be held in Paris, France. The game will be held on January 19, 2023. It will […]

The Dallas Mavericks are right on the brink of elimination. But it’s hard to pin any blame of Luka Doncic. The Mavs superstar has averaged 34 points per contest in Games 1 through 3 against the Golden State Warriors, all of which resulted in losses. Most outside observers point to the lack of quality depth […]

Is it really a Golden State Warriors game if the referees don’t penalize Draymond Green for losing his temper? That’s not a question worth asking on Sunday as the norm played out to the tee in Game 3. With the Warriors trailing midway through the second quarter, they were assessed a turnover over an alleged […]

The season is virtually over for Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic. Unless the Mavs pull off a miraculous comeback that’s never been done in NBA history, they’ll be heading to the offseason sooner rather than later. Luka Doncic spoke candidly on the situation at hand and the Game 3 loss that led up to it. […]

Stephen Curry hit a nasty three to put the Golden State Warriors up nine in the final minute of Game 2. He then made the savage gesture to put the Dallas Mavericks to bed. STEPH SAYS GOOD NIGHT AFTER A HUGE COMEBACK 😴 pic.twitter.com/9Pi1Q8v3fY — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) May 21, 2022 Stephen Curry is no stranger […]
