Similar to the Cleveland Cavaliers run this season, the New York Knicks went on a tremendous campaign last year wherein they snatched the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference before succumbing to the Atlanta Hawks in five games. This season has been a disaster for the Knicks organization as they have slipped to 3 1/2 […]

Now that there have been so many rumors swirling around the NFL regarding offseason moves, key signings, and big trades that are likely to go down, it leaves us to ponder which ones will make the biggest headlines during the 2022 NFL offseason? Already having had so many potential trades being rumors running rampant just […]

The Brooklyn Nets have had a really hard time cobbling things together without star Kevin Durant. KD has been out of the lineup since January 15th. At one point the Nets suffered a grueling 11-game losing streak just before All Star break. But the road is suddenly looking a bit brighter. Durant has been ramping […]

One thing Philadelphia 76ers fans have enjoyed most since the James Harden-Ben Simmons blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets went down has been roasting Simmons’ notorious lack of a jump shot. Sure, Sixers fans have always complained about the issue in the past. But it’s been especially fun for them to listen to Nets GM […]

The Zion Williams saga with the New Orleans Pelicans continues to draw headlines. Most of us were expecting Williamson to be ready for the start of the season. He even said as much in late September. That obviously was not the case. About a month into the season, the Pelicans announced a slight step back […]

The Las Vegas Raiders overcame mountains to reach the postseason in the 2021 season. They may have lost in the Wild Card round but were still, understandably, just happy to be there. Now that the Raiders proved they can overcome the odds, they need to show they can remain one of the league’s top teams. […]

One of these days, the MLB lockout will end and there will be an absolute tidal wave of free-agent signings and trades being made across the league. There are going to be plenty of active teams – both contenders and rebuilders alike – but who will be most active when baseball is once again open […]

Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals are trying to catch the New York Rangers for the third spot in the Metropolitan Division. They are behind the Rangers by four points but could close the gap in half with a win later tonight at home. Will the Caps go 2-0 this season versus New York? Or […]

It’s pretty easy to root for Michael Jordan or LeBron James if you’re into basketball cards. The former owned the league through the late 80s to 90s while the latter is breaking countless records even up to now. While all of those things are true, there will always be a special place in the hobby […]

In front of 19,000 screaming fans, Stephen Curry torched the Phoenix Suns for 38 points. But a 6-hour drive away on the very same day, in front of a more modest crowd of 400, another 6-foot-3 point guard dropped 51 points, including seven triples. A “Curry-esque” performance. It was December 3, 2016. A typical night […]

There have been several names being floated all season long to win the coveted Most Valuable Player award in the NBA. At some point, guys like Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Stephen Curry were seen to win the said honor after showcasing stellar individual performances. Although the battle for MVP will end in […]

After 10 days off for the All-Star break — besides the Very On LeBron James — the “second half” of the Los Angeles Lakers season tips off on Friday. The Lakers will begin their 24-game remaining schedule with a “home” matchup vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, whom the Lakers (27-31) trail by 1.5 games for […]

Once trapped in the Labyrinth to battle wary heroes traversing Aghanim’s realm, this mighty creature now steps into the arena of Dota 2. Dota 7.31 debuts new hero Primal Beast, and he is ready to stomp unsuspecting foes and trample them straight towards their fountain. Unlike other MOBAs, Valve (the developers of Dota 2) only […]

The Kansas City Chiefs let a 21-3 lead slip away in the AFC Championship Game to the Cincinnati Bengals, losing 27-24 in overtime. In the process, Kansas City became the first team in NFL history to host four straight conference title games, having won the two in the middle. They were only minutes away from […]

Early this season, it looked like the Dallas Mavericks didn’t have what it takes to become one of the best teams in the West. Even with Luka Doncic ascending to new heights, the pieces around him paled when compared to other powerhouses in the conference, such as the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors. But […]

The Utah Jazz are in an unusual predicament this season. They’ve been one of the best teams in the NBA for the previous several years throughout the regular season, but they can’t seem to win in the postseason. They aren’t displaying the same domination as they typically do during the regular season this year. Utah’s […]

The Boston Celtics have been one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA this season. They’re one of the most fascinating teams because they didn’t have a great season until the last month. Boston was on a roll coming into the All-Star break, and they have to be optimistic about what they can do […]

The Golden State Warriors are still one of the two Western Conference favorites, despite a season hampered by injuries. The Phoenix Suns are the only team in the Western Conference that Golden State should be concerned about. There are a few teams who might provide Golden State problems if they don’t play their best basketball, […]

The Toronto Raptors aren’t necessarily a team that many would say has a decent chance of winning an NBA title right now. This team, however, is clearly a title contender due to the way they defend. The Raptors are an odd team; they have games when they beat championship-caliber teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and […]

The Denver Nuggets must be confident in what they’ve accomplished in the first half of the season as they enter the second half of the season following the All-Star break. The Nuggets are 33-25 and the Western Conference’s sixth seed despite missing Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr for most of the season. Jamal Murray […]

The Dallas Mavericks are in a tough spot because they lack the second star that a playoff team needs. Luka Doncic is a fantastic player, and there’s an argument to be made that if certain people see him that way, he might be a top-five player in the NBA. Obviously, there could be ten players […]

The Buffalo Bills enter the 2022 NFL offseason still stinging from the way they lost in the AFC Divisional Round vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. Why wouldn’t they, after all. They were 13 seconds away from hosting the AFC Championship Game. Instead, it was another playoff loss to Patrick Mahomes. Buffalo finished 2021 with one […]

The Brooklyn Nets aren’t the unluckiest team. Some fan bases mired in ongoing agony would most certainly admit to feeling jealous of Nets fans. A team with an elite general manager like Sean Marks nestled comfortably in a top market like New York while looking to support one of the 10 best players of all […]

So much for consternation over a wholly transformative trade deadline. Instead of reeling from finally breaking up its longtime core, the Portland Trail Blazers entered the All-Star break winners of four straight games, playing with activity and intensity that had often been absent during Chauncey Billups’ inaugural season on the sidelines. The Blazers can’t count […]

Maurice Clarett was once known as one of the top collegiate running backs in the nation. However, his legal troubles and mental health issues got in the way of his professional career. Against all odds, he overcame his struggles and is now a sought out motivational speaker. Let’s dig into Maurice Clarett’s net worth in […]

The Arizona Cardinals got off to a dominant start in the 2021 regular season, only to fade down the stretch before getting pummeled by the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card Round. It was a disappointing ending to a season that began with such high hopes, and now there is […]

The good times stopped rolling for the Edmonton Oilers last Sunday after a five-game undefeated streak, but a chance to rebound comes to Connor McDavid and company later tonight when they face off with the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Tampa Bay Lightning. The Oilers are still desperate for points, as they are precariously perched on […]

The Buffalo Bills fell short in the 2021 NFL Playoffs after succumbing to conference rivals Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round. The bitter loss surely exposed a ton of glaring holes on the Bills’ side that they would need to address moving forward. One of the major points of improvement for them would […]

The 2021-22 NBA season is officially past its halfway mark and the race towards the postseason is now on. With this in mind, basketball card collectors are looking forward to knowing who’s going to end up with the major awards in the league. While everyone is looking forward to the MVP race, the fight for […]

Looking into Tyler Herro’s stock in the hobby and one can see that it has been on a rollercoaster ride since the Miami Heat guard entered the league in 2019. From that point on, he has gotten his fair share of fans and detractors, both on the court and in the market. Nevertheless, Herro remains […]

It wasn’t too long ago when collectors dismissed Darius Garland and his rookie cards in the hobby. It’s quite understandable since the Cleveland Cavaliers’ starting guard had a pretty bad first year in the league, which reflected in his stock in the card market. But after almost three years in the league, an All-Star appearance, […]

The Los Angeles Chargers had a disappointing season once again in 2021. Despite having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, the Chargers failed to reach the postseason for the third straight season. Not all is lost though. Second-year quarterback Justin Herbert proved that his rookie season was not a fluke. He is […]

It’s a must for every hobbyist to have Michael Jordan cards in their respective collections. Rightfully so, because the man is a legend after making his impact felt in the 80s right away, dominating teams in the 90s, and even playing well early into the 2000s. What he did during these different decades is a […]

People tried, and still try, to ignore what the Phoenix Suns accomplished last season. Everyone was talking about how the Suns only made it that far last year because of injuries to players on the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Clippers. If someone still says things like that, they’re either a total […]

To say the least, the Philadelphia 76ers’ season has been interesting. Nobody would have imagined the Sixers would be in this position at the start of the season, but because of the Ben Simmons situation, Philly now has a new roster after the deadline. While getting rid of Ben Simmons was the right decision for […]

Nobody expected the Chicago Bulls to start the season the way they have. Despite several important players on the squad being injured, they’re the Eastern Conference’s second seed. It’s tough to say they’re one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, but it’s also absurd to say they don’t have a chance to win […]

The Brooklyn Nets have not had the season they had hoped for, and there are a number of reasons for this. The biggest reason for this Nets team’s lack of success is because they’ve been dealing with the Kyrie Irving situation, and they’ve also suffered unlucky injuries to Kevin Durant and Joe Harris. The reality […]

People still don’t like to give the Miami Heat the respect that they plainly deserve, for some inexplicable reason. They boast perhaps the strongest defense in the NBA, as well as a team full of players capable of performing on both sides of the ball. There will always be doubts about particular matchups in the […]

After winning an NBA title in the previous season, the Milwaukee Bucks haven’t experienced the season they expected. They haven’t played horribly, but they haven’t been as dominant as we’ve come to expect from them. It doesn’t seem to matter to the Bucks because they were not the number one seed a year ago and […]
