For the first time in his illustrious NBA career, point guard Tony Parker will don a different uniform other than that of the San Antonio Spurs after signing a two-year deal worth $10 million with the Charlotte Hornets last month.

It’s hard to find a pettier pro sports league than the NBA. From Kevin Durant trading jabs on social media with a teenager to Russell Westbrook getting slighted after mistakenly thinking that he was picked last in the All-Star Draft to J.R.

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie is left befuddled by the initial rating he got from NBA 2K19.

Despite having LeBron James on their roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are being left out in some preseason playoff projections.

Had the Lakers added one more superstar, the Lakers would have […]

Stop asking which planet or dimension where the Jacksonville Jaguars are ranked higher than the New England Patriots – because it’s the same place where you’re in.

The New England Patriots had a shaky defense last season, which crumbled at the worst possible moment after the team’s stop unit got run over by Nick Foles and the Philadelphia in the Super Bowl last February.

Mack, who is holding out in order to force Oakland […]

The Golden State Warriors are unquestionably the team to beat in the NBA, and that will remain to be the case next season. The Warriors, despite what their amazing amount of success over the past few years project, are not invincible. At some point, they will lose. They escaped an ambush attempt in this year’s […]

The Cleveland Browns already have a deep set of receivers even after they traded Corey Coleman to the Buffalo Bills earlier this week.

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade is still without an NBA team. Regardless, the next team he’ll play for will have to reserve a parking slot for one Mantis Green McLaren 570, or the same ride Wade’s trainer was making fun of in the following clip. https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1026952698166300672 It’s the car version of the “What are those?” […]

The days of KeyArena in Seattle are numbered. Its demolition is inevitable, with a new arena set to be built as its replacement.

Johnny Manziel’s first career start in the CFL resulted in an absolute mess. Perhaps even the most unforgiving Johnny Football critics did not expect such an outcome, which was a four-interception game (or half) by the former Heisman Trophy winner during last Friday’s 50-11 Montreal Alouettes loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The aftermath of that […]

The San Francisco 49ers have high hopes that their gamble on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would pay off as soon as the 2018 NFL season. It remains to be seen for the 49ers whether Garoppolo is truly the godsend signal-caller for the team, but they should like the effort that he’s putting in this offseason. Garoppolo […]
