Aside from losing games, New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is also rumored to be losing the confidence of his players.

For San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili’s three sons, he’s not only their hero. He’s also an inspiration for thinking of a nice Halloween costume to wear—at least to one of them, who decided to dress like a bat. That’s three-year-old Luca, who probably got the idea—or someone told him—of going trick or treating as […]

Jahlil Okafor wants out of Philadelphia, but the 76ers aren’t going to let him go that easily.

However, the Sixers remains adamant of its desire to trade […]

Packed meat company Oscar Mayer wants Dwayne Bacon to know that they have his name right—unlike Charlotte Hornets general manager Rich Cho, who mistakenly introduced to the media back in the offseason as “Dwyane Wade”. In a Twitter post, the Hornets rookie forward shared the blessing he just got which is a box full of […]

At this point, it’s safe to say that the scientific community’s relationship with Kyrie Irving is a rocky one. This is largely due to Irving’s staunchness over his belief that the Earth is flat—not round. Sure the Boston Celtics guard once clarified that walking around and telling people that the planet we all are living […]

The New York Knicks were planning on replacing one iconic NBA legend with another to run the team.

Whenever a game gets incredibly exciting, sports commentators like to blurt out the phrase, “You can’t write it any better than this”.

In addition, Mike […]

When people start covering themselves up in costumes, you know it’s just Sign ‘O’ the Times.

NBA fans can be very unforgiving of visiting players, and you can ask Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Andre Roberson about that.

Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors handed the L.A. Clippers a 141-113 loss Monday, but the do-it-all forward did more than just help his team damage the Clippers’ record.

The Baltimore Ravens dealt the Miami Dolphins a big blow last Thursday in the form of a 40-0 win, but not before their star quarterback Joe Flacco had absorbed a scary blow himself.

Robert Griffin III’s football career is a story of tragedy.

Baseball has a long list of unwritten rules and football also has a share of its own, though it’s not often as talked about.

Near the end of Pittsburgh’s 20-15 win […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been gutted by numerous injuries to key offensive players this season, but thanks to a steady play from the backups and more importantly, to a stout defense, the Vikings are managing to stay afloat in the NFC North division.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie receiver Juju Smith-Schuster had a coming-out party last Sunday when he seemingly got possessed by teammate Antonio Brown and recorded a dizzying total of 193 receiving yards to go with a touchdown on seven catches in a 20-15 victory over the Detroit Lions.

There are plenty of reasons for Indianapolis Colts players to be grumpy. Their team is embracing the bottom spot of the AFC South standings with a 2-6 record plus they haven’t won in any of their last three outings. All those things are not making Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton happy either, especially after Indy […]

The New York Jets didn’t have to wait for last season to conclude before realizing they were in desperate need of a new quarterback.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has proven time and time again that he’s a difficult person to interview. But in some instances, he can light up a room by cracking jokes, sometimes at the expense of himself. Apart from winning games and NBA titles, deadpan humor is one of Popovich’s cup of tea. […]

Joel Embiid spent most of his summer training with Dew Hanlen of Pure Sweat Basketball.

The Philadelphia 76ers have long rid themselves of Sam Hinkie, but his fingerprints are still all over the team which he experimented on during his reign as its general manager.

Long before the likes of Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns jacked up their first 3-point shots in the NBA, Dallas Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki was the one who’s blowing everyone’s mind for having such a deadly touch from deep despite his 7-foot frame. The Mavs icon made it fashionable for 7-footers to shoot threes and […]
