A revelation found in a new book about the Deflategate controversy states that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady could have avoided a four-game suspension and all the drama accompanied by his back-and-forth with Roger Goodell’s office if he agreed to publicly admit that two New England equipment personnel were to blame for the change […]

Isaiah Thomas’ time with the Los Angeles Lakers was a brief one. In the near future, most people would have forgotten that Thomas had actually donned the Purple and Gold uniform.

Normally, athletes author […]

Denver Nuggets guard Isiah Thomas and Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard have become two of the most interesting men in the NBA over the past year.

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains a free agent in the NFL, so naturally, he’s not on any team’s lineup in the new Madden video game by EA Sports.

A few days ago, former Los Angeles Lakers star Shaquille O’Neal successfully planted a rumor that Kobe Bryant could be planning to come out of retirement to play with LeBron James in Hollywood. So many took it seriously that Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, had to take to social media to dispel gossips about Kobe’s NBA return. Well, […]

Chinanu Onuaku’s career as a Dallas Maverick is not going to last long. In fact, he’s not even going to be part of the Mavs’ opening day roster next season. Just hours after it was reported that Onuaku was traded by the Houston Rockets to Dallas along with a future draft pick for cash and […]

Vince Carter is not yet done in the NBA. He also does not seem to have winning an NBA championship as a top priority this late in his basketball career. The 41-year-old shooting guard recently inked a one-year deal worth $2.39 million with the Atlanta Hawks, a team that is a long shot to make […]

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN is the undisputed king of breaking NBA personnel news. When it comes to being the first to know and circulate updates on player trades, signings, and other moves, Wojnarowski is considered as an oracle. But who knew that Wojnarowski can also take a break from his seemingly 24/7 job to spend […]

Enes Kanter has never been the biggest fan of LeBron James. They two have had their brushes on the court in the past, and even though the New York Knicks big man has appeared to soften up a bit on his stance about the four-time MVP lately, it does not change the fact that he […]

Even though the Houston Rockets are expected to sign Carmelo Anthony to a cap-friendly veteran’s minimum worth just $2.4 million and have signed Clint Capela to a new contract, the team is still seemingly looking for ways to create some breathing space in their salary cap room. One way to do that is to rid […]

Just because Kawhi Leonard is now out of San Antonio and now with the Toronto Raptors does not mean that speculations of where he will go have ended. The rumor-sniffers merely shifted their focus on what Leonard will do next year, when he finally has the option to control his own destiny. There won’t be […]

People can’t still get over LeBron James’ I Promise School in Akron, Ohio. That’s understandable, though, as there aren’t plenty of such institutions sprouting across the country.

It’s been weeks since LeBron James decided to put ink on paper so he could start the new chapter of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Markelle Fultz played just a total of 14 games last season, his first in the NBA, largely because of a mysterious shoulder injury.

Kawhi Leonard is a Toronto Raptors player – for now. The Raptors are guaranteed of one year of Leonard’s services, as after the 2018-19 season, the swingman can decide to opt out of the final year of his contract and make himself a free agent. There’s a possibility, though, that Leonard may remain in the […]

Some of the best players on the planet were recently in Las Vegas to participate in a three-day minicamp by Team USA.

The internet never forgets. Lately, there has been a massive digging of old tweets undertaken by some people with too much time on their hands.

Even though the Los Angeles Lakers won the LeBron James sweepstakes, the prevailing narrative remains to tell that the Lakers are not good enough to challenge for supremacy in the Western Conference.

Russell Westbrook does not know when to take his foot off the pedal, and it’s a big part of his appeal. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard is on a constant 100 MPH movement. He’s always looking for ways to dispense his vast reservoir of energy, which would have been an easier thing to do […]

The Dallas Cowboys are going to parade a new-look wide receiving unit next season. Gone are the likes of Dez Bryant and Brice Butler.

The New England Patriots will have some adjustments to make this offseason in anticipation of Julian Edelman’s four-game suspension to begin the 2018 NFL season.

LeBron James’ dislike of US President Donald Trump is as publicly known as the fact that J.R. Smith forgot to call a timeout near the end of regulation of last NBA Finals’ opening game.

A hundred thousand dollars are no chump change, but let Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James demonstrate how easy it is to dispense such an amount for a wealthy pro athlete just like him. Unlike other celebrities, though, James recently spent $100,000 not to buy a new luxury car nor to purchase a bunch of […]

The New York Knicks have been a picture of ineptitude in the NBA for many years now.

From then on, the Knickerbockers have failed to win more than 37 games […]

Carmelo Anthony may not be the only ex-Atlanta Hawks player suiting up for the Houston Rockets, beginning next season.

“LeBron James has not made his quest to add to his three NBA titles by heading to the tougher dog-eat-dog world of the Western Conference. Signing with the Los Angeles Lakers may be a glittery move, but it is not going to give the four-time NBA MVP an easier path to the Western Conference Finals, […]
