The Green Bay Packers are desperate to get to the next step. Matt LaFleur’s team has made it to consecutive NFC Championship Games, only to come up short on both occasions.

A lot of basketball fans, especially NBA cards collectors, often display their reverence for the players belonging to the 2017-18 and 2018-19 Draft Class. Their appreciation for these two classes is a given because most of the NBA’s promising young stars were drafted during these years. The most notable names include Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, […]

You know Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis right now, but he wasn’t always so spectacular in size and skill. In fact, he was once no larger than your random friend Ralph, who really likes to enjoy the best science-fiction TV show ever; Stargate Universe. This is the Anthony Davis glow up special. Davis’ journey […]

There are few more polarizing personalities in the NBA than 6-foot-4 guard Delonte West.

In what feels like the distance past, West again found himself in a tough spot after […]

Even though the New York Knicks’ plan of drafting Zion Williamson during the 2019 NBA Draft failed, they still ended up with a high pick that netted RJ Barrett.

Kobe Bryant’s illustrious career was etched into immortally in 2017, when he became the first player in Los Angeles Lakers history to have two of his playing number retired.

“The Golden State Warriors are trading Stephen Curry.” It’s hard to fathom a headline announcing a blockbuster deal that would send the Warriors franchise superstar out of the Bay Area. However, Golden State apparently tried to trade Curry not once, not even twice, but actually three times. You can’t really blame the Warriors for entertaining […]

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic is all that and a bag of chips. The cat’s meow, even. A special talent so good, so young, he’s generational. You can barely turn on a sports channel without seeing Luka Doncic’s smiling, patchy-bearded face adorning your screen. The kid can do everything. Step-back threes in your favorite players […]

What if we told you Stephen Curry has the strongest weak ankles in NBA history? Before he showed the world what he could do beyond the arc, Curry had to exercise some personal demons that haunted him in the first three years of his career. From 2009 to 2011, Stephen Curry had a second surgery […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a beloved basketball player who is quickly becoming one of the best, if not the very best, players in the entire NBA. Even better, especially to this story, is the fact on Tuesday that he inked a five-year, $228.2 million deal to stay with the Bucks. Tuesday’s news is going to make […]

Kevin Garnett is by far one of the best (or worst – depending on how you look at it) when it comes to trash-talking. The 2004 MVP has been known to irk other athletes both on and off the court and it’s no question that he’s king when it comes to mind games. Yes, basketball […]

The Cincinnati Bengals finished their season with a 4-11-1 record, which put them in last place in the stacked AFC North. Their three division rivals each won at least 11 games.

The Houston Texans could be in for quite an offseason once Super Bowl LV comes and goes. The struggling AFC South franchise just can’t seem to do anything right as of late. Even with the current NFL season not yet over, the Texans have already had a tumultuous start to the offseason while being forced […]

The Los Angeles Rams already made offseason headlines trading for quarterback Matt Stafford. The team won’t restructure Stafford’s final non-guaranteed years. The former Lions quarterback could net as much as $43 million over the next two seasons. Still, the Rams could get more surprised by potential cuts before free agency. Los Angeles fields the second-highest […]

The NBA season has not disappointed. Fans have been blessed with stellar performances from Lebron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Nikola Jokic.

From Luka Doncic’s MVP-caliber showing to Zion Williamson’s dominance, you don’t have to […]

The Minnesota Vikings are in a tough spot entering the 2021 NFL offseason. On the one hand, the Vikings have the No. 14 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, seemingly giving them options in the event they want to trade back or package said pick. Minnesota will also hope impact defensive players like Danielle […]

For years, the Houston Rockets were unable to go beyond and reach the finals, despite James Harden’s elite offense.

Self-made billionaire. Start-up investor with an immigrant background. Vocal. Relatively young for their stature. When you see these words used as clues to describe an NBA owner your first guess would probably be Mark Cuban, right? Since the Dallas Mavericks owner is the most visible of his group, he is probably the only owner most […]

New Orleans Pelicans guard JJ Redick is one of the players expected to be on the move to a contender before the trade deadline in March. The 36-year-old sharpshooter, after all, is a battle-tested vet who’s missed the playoffs just once, so far in his pro career. It didn’t make much sense when the former […]

The Tennessee Titans remain one of the more intriguing teams in the NFL heading into the 2021-22 campaign as the AFC South franchise has no doubt found immense success over the course of the last several seasons despite having some serious issues on defense — especially in 2020-21. With the emergence of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, […]

Numerous insiders were concerned with the 2020 NBA Draft class. Apparently, there wasn’t enough star power on the draft board.

When Trevor Lawrence replaced Kelly Bryant as the Clemson quarterback after four games in the 2018 college football season, I had a great feeling about the nature of the move. You see, Kelly Bryant was a good college quarterback. He even leading the Tigers to the College Football Playoff last season. But a 24-6 loss […]

Objectively speaking, rookie guard Immanuel Quickley looked like a safe bet to be a mere rotation player in head coach Tom Thibodeau’s rotation this season. And then they began playing the games, and a funny thing happened: Quickley became an ambush building block for the New York Knicks. In a couple draft day trades involving […]

There’s no vindication in the Golden State Warriors’ 10-9 start to the 2020-21 NBA season. With that said, head coach Steve Kerr needs his frontcourt to pick up the slack. On Thursday night the Warriors logged their ninth loss of the season, losing 114-93 to the Phoenix Suns. Why is this so noteworthy? Phoenix was […]

The word freakish has been used to describe a lot of players around the NBA these days. Obviously, there’s LeBron James who continues to do unworldly things on the basketball court at his age.

The Denver Nuggets’ 2020 playoff run in the bubble was one for the history books, and they aim to make their mark in the ever-so-tough Western Conference this year and beyond. However, Michael Porter Jr. needs to become the star they thought he would be if Denver hopes to contend. The Nuggets lost to the […]

The Washington Football Team finished the 2020-21 season with a 7-9 record. Fortunately, they played in the struggling NFC East and that losing record was the best out of the worst division in the NFL. They got bounced in their NFC Wild Card Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This was not a disappointing outcome […]

No one expected the Oklahoma City Thunder to be a good team in a competitive Western Conference last season. The departure of Russell Westbrook and Paul George to the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers via trades was supposed to be the signal that a rebuild was on its way during the 2019-20 season. Then […]

The summer of 2020 will be remembered as the time when everything stopped because of Covid-19. But one of the tiny silver linings from the entire ordeal was how the NBA card market boomed at an exponential rate. During this time, the demand for basketball cards grew at an insane pace.

More often than not, in the NBA, one would expect players who play the center position to stand at least 6’10, given that they anchor the defense and provide some inside presence on both ends of the floor.
