Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum knows better than most fans that the NBA is run by cold-hearted front offices which will not hesitate to put business above players’ feelings. In addition, NBA executives don’t also have very good timing. McCollum succinctly puts that into perspective in a tweet he sent out after the […]

Golden State Warriors hotshot Klay Thompson had the time of his life in the Orient this summer, when he traveled to China to sign a huge endorsement deal with shoe brand Anta and of course, to experience everything the country could offer.

To some extent, the Golden State Warriors have become the Evil Empire of the NBA.

Deshaun Watson’s NFL career is off to a rough start. The Houston Texans quarterback has been abused behind a flimsy offensive line that wasn’t able to protect him from getting sacked seven times in the past two games.

Bill Belichick sounded like a coach who would die to have a player like J.J. Watt play for him during a recent interview with John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.

Victor Oladipo apparently wants to follow in the footsteps of Kevin Durant.
