It looks like Michael Jordan is crossing over to professional baseball once again. However this time, it’s not as a player, but as an executive owner.

It has been heavily rumored that Paul George has is mind set on joining his hometown Lakers when he becomes a free agent after this season. George informed the Pacers he was set to leave after the 2017-18 season, and even told friends of his plans to go home. However, these plans may not be as […]

After a five day stretch to start free agency in which the Knicks only managed to re-sign second year guard Ron Baker, New York has finally come alive in free agency. After signing their own former player, Tim Hardaway, Jr. to a whopping 4 year, $71 million offer sheet, the Knicks now may be in […]

In the modern NBA, there’s just some things older generation players have a hard time accepting — the influx of three point shots, lack of physicality, and of course, LeBron James in general. Oh, and apparently there’s one more thing — two players in the league having the name “Kelly”. In a piece by Sports […]

After years of being Eastern Conference basement-dwellers, it appears the “process” is nearly complete for the Philadelphia 76ers. The team now has a young core in place with Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, Ben Simmons, and this year’s first overall pick Markelle Fultz, and appear to be on the cusp of making the jump to playoff contention […]

Back and forth reporting on whether or not Gordon Hayward was slated to be joining the Boston Celtics next season was the sporting news that dominated Independence Day headlines. In a case almost reminiscent of the DeAndre Jordan/L.A. Clippers/Dallas Mavericks love triangle from a season ago, it was far from clear conjecture whether or not Hayward […]

When it comes to their jerseys and logos, the San Antonio Spurs are known for their classic, minimalist look. Much like their play style, their wardrobe has never been flashy, yet, it has been more than effective. Today, however, the Spurs have added a new wrinkle to their timeless look, and have released an alternate […]

LaVar Ball’s insistence that his son Lonzo will only play for the Los Angeles Lakers was one of the many intriguing story lines heading into the NBA draft. Ball’s brash nature and somewhat erratic behavior made him more of a wrestling character than a proud father, but apparently this narrative has been told before (just […]

It’s been widely assumed UCLA’s Lonzo Ball is a virtual lock to be drafted by the L.A. Lakers with the number two overall pick, but according to reports, that may not be the case. According to NBA insider Steve Kyler, the Lakers may opt for Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox with the second selection in tonight’s draft. The […]

The 2013 mega-trade between the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics will forever live in NBA infamy. The trade that sent aging Boston veterans Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry to the Nets turned out to be decidedly one-sided for the Celtics, and changed the fate of both franchises in drastically different ways. However, apparently the trade initially would […]

Despite being linked to UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball for months, the Los Angeles Lakers have not committed to drafting the hometown product quite yet. However, it now appears as if they are getting to that point as the 2017 NBA Draft inches closer and closer. According to NBA insider Chad Ford, the Lakers are moving […]

If you weren’t a fan of Zaza Pachulia before, chances are you’ll change your mind after seeing this. Despite being the 2017 champs, Pachulia decided for a little throwback action during the Golden State Warriors’ celebratory parade. He actually brought a camcorder. And used it. In the year 2017. Zaza in 2017 📹 pic.twitter.com/os8O1DbyMB — SB […]

Once again, it looks like the case has been made for Michael Jordan being the proverbial G.O.A.T. Except this time, the coverage transcends the basketball court — it’s sneaker sales. According to Forbes, Michael Jordan’s 2016 shoe earnings were higher than LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant combined.  While it isn’t very surprising that […]

In today’s NBA, the post-up big man is teetering on the edge of extinction. With the new age of stretch fours, and even, stretch fives, back to the basket moves are become less and less of a go-to options for 7-footers around the league. Although the landscape of the NBA is drastically changing, it’s fair […]

For the third straight year, the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers are set to go at it in the NBA finals, adding fuel to the already-heated rivalry. After blowing a now-infamous 3-1 lead in last year’s championship round, the Warriors look eager to set the score straight in a rubber match between the […]

Knicks president Phil Jackson has caught a lot of flack this season for his treatment, or rather, mistreatment of star forward Carmelo Anthony. After handing Anthony a five-year, $124 million contract, complete with a no-trade clause, two summers ago, Jackson has done everything in his power to nudge Anthony away from the once-again rebuilding Knicks. […]

LeBron James‘ string of dominant performances in the 2017 playoffs had many NBA fans arguing that the superstar forward is closing in on Michael Jordan as the consensus GOAT. However, Jordan’s former running mate Scottie Pippen vehemently disagrees, and doesn’t even think he stacks up to another basketball legend quite yet — former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard and […]

After what was perhaps one of the most disappointing seasons in an illustrious list of awful seasons, the New York Knicks are once again looking to re-tool their roster. This year however, the Knicks will approach their offseason with a specific type of player in mind — two way threats that can help them on […]

Fans in Laker land breathed a collective sigh of relief when they found out they would in fact keep their 2017 draft pick, which turned out to be the number two selection overall. Landing in the top three also allowed the Lakers to keep their 2019 selection, which would have gone to the Orlando Magic […]

The curse of Lil B has been well documented in the NBA. Kevin Durant was the first notable NBA superstar to receive the curse back in 2011, for claiming he didn’t know who the California-based rapper was. More recently, the based God bestowed his wretched curse on another former Oklahoma City Thunder player — Houston Rockets […]

New York Knicks President Phil Jackson hasn’t been shy in revealing his true feelings on Carmelo Anthony. During the Knicks’ end of the season presser, Jackson noted that he thought Anthony would “be better off on another team” if he was focused on winning, and all but suggested he should waive his no-trade clause to play for a contender. […]

Kobe Bryant really seems to be enjoying his life after basketball. Whether it’s providing advice for young players, appearing in hilarious commercials, or catching up with other celebrities, the former Lakers star appears to be truly embracing the off-the-court spotlight for a change. His latest newsworthy encounter came at the hands of legendary Game of […]

In the present-day landscape of NBA free agency, it is becoming more and more of the norm for players to walk, as opposed to staying with their current club for more money and security. However, there are obvious exceptions to such trends, and there’s a solid chance you can add Utah Jazz point guard George Hill to such a […]
