Paul George may be the most popular two-way player in the basketball industry at this moment. After so many years and in an emotional fashion, the 30-year old, 6-foot-8 forward has found his way back home to LA with the Clippers. Today, though, we’re going to take a look at some Paul George tattoos. George […]

Just like the rest of us, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has spent a lot of time under self-quarantine as well. But unlike the rest of us, Mahomes just recently got half a billion dollars richer. But might there be an NBA player that’s cut from the same superstar cloth as Mahomes? The big […]

The greats always finish on a high note. Or at least that’s the ultimate goal for every single NBA player. Especially NBA legends. After all, who would want to end his career with a loss? Below we’ve rounded out some of the most memorable final game performances of some former NBA players with legendary status. […]

As of writing, the record-holder for the oldest player to have ever played in the league is Nat Hickey of the Providence Steamrollers.

The NBA’s scheduled restart is fast approaching. But as we draw closer and closer to the date, the list of players who will be sitting out is growing by the minute. We already had a few big-name stars who weren’t going to be playing due to injury in Brooklyn Nets players Kyrie Irving and Kevin […]

The NBA has had its share of phenomenal individual matchups. Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain went at it as the two colossal pioneers of the league in the 1960s. Meanwhile, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird formed one of the most dynamic rivalries (and friendships) in sports as preeminent stars for the Los Angeles Lakers and […]

NBA fans will always wonder why the universe never aligned Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to face off in a blockbuster NBA Finals. It was 2009. LeBron James had established himself as a legitimate superstar in the NBA. He had just won his first MVP and led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the best record in […]

When it comes to ink, it’s always a good idea to see what a trendsetter is doing. Allen Iverson was simply way more than crossovers and stepping over people, as he was an icon that changed the NBA. With memorable quotes about practice all the way to fashion trends, it’s safe to say that he […]

Before 2015, it could be said that not a whole lot of people knew what a banana boat was. But once LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul popularized it, it became something of a cultural phenomenon. Well, in a funny, stupid kind of way. It all began five years ago when James, Wade, Paul […]

The Dallas Cowboys organization has been around for around 60 years and they have set the bar for all NFL teams. And it’s easy to see why when looking through the Cowboys’ franchise resume. In 60 seasons in the NFL, the Cowboys hold an all-time regular season record of 520 wins, 388 losses and six […]

Everyone makes mistakes. The NBA Draft history is full of the examples of tragic mishaps that general managers and NBA personnel have made over the history of the NBA.

Marion Motley, […]

In 1995, Art Modell and the Cleveland Browns infamously decided to move their franchise to Baltimore. Cleveland wasn’t left empty-handed though as the league settled with Modell that he would allow the relocation only if he would leave the Browns’ name and history in Ohio. Modell agreed and the Baltimore Ravens were born. The Ravens […]

The history of the New York Giants dates back to 1925. That means there are many running backs who have lined up in the backfield and carried the ball. The Giants selected Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He burst onto the scene as a rookie with over 2,000 […]

Since being drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 2003, Carmelo Anthony, then from Syracuse University eventually shot up to the ranks of NBA icons as one of the most feared scorers in the league.

The Washington Redskins have a rich history of winning games and championships in the trenches. The offensive line during the 1980s and early 1990s were known as the Hogs.

Pat Mahomes became the richest athlete in American sports on Monday when the Kansas City Chiefs tendered a 10-year, $450 million offer to secure him as their quarterback well into the next decade.

Washington Wizards star John Wall hasn’t seen the court in quite some time. He’s been out of action ever since aggravating his Achilles in 2018 and will remain on the sidelines up until next season.

Aside from being one of the brightest stars in the league right now, Minnesota Timberwolves guard D’Angelo Russell probably has the most amazing collection of tattoos in the NBA.

NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal is indeed larger than life.

In 1997, the Houston Oilers packed up and moved their NFL franchise to Tennessee. This left a gaping hole in Texas and, especially, Houston football. Enter Bob McNair and his Texans. In 2002, the Houston Texans made their NFL debut and ended what was a five-year wait for pro football to return to the city. […]

The Alan Foster situation is some time behind us, but the impact it had on Lonzo Ball, LaVar Ball, and the Big Baller Brand remains relevant today. At the time, Triple-B found itself in another national controversy. But this time, they were the victims. Renouncing ties with Alan Foster, Lonzo Ball publically ended a long-time […]

This is one of the most lopsided rivalries in the NFL to date. The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills play twice a year in the regular season. Since 2000, the Patriots are 35-5 against the Bills. This was not always the case. The Patriots and Bills have had some great battles. In the 1990s, […]

The Cleveland Browns have been linked to Jadeveon Clowney throughout the entire offseason, but that shipped likely sailed on Tuesday morning. News broke that Cleveland had renegotiated Olivier Vernon’s contract to reduce his cap hit for 2020, while guaranteeing most of his new money. This likely takes one team out of the Clowney sweepstakes, which […]

22 NBA teams are headed to Orlando for the league’s restart of the 2019-20 season, beginning July 30. However, not all players will be attending the conclusion of the season.

In the modern NFL, success is measured in two things. First, by regular season wins and of course, also by postseason triumphs. The Detroit Lions has not have much of either and it’s no big secret. In the past 30 years, the Lions have only won 193 games out of the 480 they have competed […]

There are certain rivalries that will be intense no matter the current state of the teams. This is true of the matchups between the Denver Broncos and the Las Vegas Raiders. These are two teams that have seen great success in their history and created many unforgettable moments. This has not been the case recently. […]

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard often lets his game do the talking. His road to the NBA was unconventional, playing for a relatively smaller college in Weber State. The man has always had an enormous chip on his shoulder and plays like it as well. Lillard’s on-court success is motivated by a number of […]

Bradley Beal has been a walking bucket so far this season. Before the basketball world was put on hiatus, he was actually second in scoring with an impressive 30.5 points per contest, a mark only surpassed by the beard, James Harden. If you watch the prolific scorer often enough, you’ll notice that he actually has […]

The Boston Patriots were founded in 1960 and became the New England Patriots in 1971. There have been 28 starting quarterbacks in franchise history and many have been notable. For the first time since 2001, the Patriots will have a quarterback battle heading into training camp. Second year player Jarrett Stidham was believed to be […]

There are just so many similarities between Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard. It seemed like the most ideal situation for one Magic superstar to learn from an older one. But the two beefed way more than they bonded and that’s partly because of one weird reason – they both wanted to be called “Superman”. Shaq […]

Unequivocally seen as the best player in the NFL currently, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is going to be a member of the Chiefs for a long, long time – 12 more years to be exact. His 10-year, $477 million deal (that can be accelerated all the way up to $503 million) is an […]
