In the recently concluded draft, a Packers team in desperate need of additional options for franchise […]

Since its establishment in 1967 as the San Diego Rockets — the Houston Rockets franchise has found significant success in the league.

2021 NBA Free Agency is just about a year away and from the looks of it, it is going to be a star-studded free agent frenzy.

The Los Angeles Chargers have undergone a lot of changes since its foundation in 1960. A relocation, a new stadium, and a new set of jerseys later, the franchise has yet to firmly stamp its presence on the books of NFL greats. Despite the absence of a Super Bowl trophy, the team still has many […]

The San Antonio Spurs are indeed one of the most distinguished franchises in NBA history.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat formed the dominant team of the early 2010s. They won two championships and made four straight NBA Finals appearances during their run.

The Philadelphia Eagles have a long history of explosive running backs and head coaches that like to use them in a multitude of ways.

Jonathan Stewart, 2008-2017 The Panthers drafted Stewart 13th overall in 2008, and although he didn’t exactly […]

An NBA player in WWE sort of makes sense. Typically, NBA players are imagined on how they would fare in the NFL. However, if you think about it, a lot of traits from both sports can also translate to wrestling too. In all three, you would need size, strength, speed, technique, etc to succeed. Therefore, […]

While LeBron James is busy gearing up for another shot at the title as a Laker, all we can do right now is speculate on the “what ifs” of his career. Particularly, it’s always interesting to think about a scenario in which an elite player never jumped ship and stayed the course throughout his career. […]

Care to guess just how many tattoos Brandon Ingram actually has? Believe it or not, he has a whopping 46 tattoos all over his body. Therefore, it only makes sense that this makes him one of the most tattooed men in the entire NBA. As a matter of fact, he started getting inked as early […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have had some unforgettable players represent the franchise over the years.

The Cincinnati Bengals have long been a bastion for solid quarterback play, including their two MVP seasons coinciding with Super Bowl runs in the 1980s.

In 2020, the Detroit Lions backfield has the highest upside that it has had in a while, with speedster Kerryon Johnson hitting his third season, versatile rookie D’Andre Swift coming into the fold and former Alabama standout Bo Scarborough as a probable goal-line and short-yardage specialist. The Lions haven’t seen consistent production from the running […]

Stephen Curry is the NBA’s poster boy. He’s a great guy, with a great family, and is very religious too. He’s pretty much the guy you want your kid idolizing growing up. Then again, as with very other player in the league, Curry has been involved in more than a few confrontational moments with referees […]

LeBron James is one of the nicest players on and off the court. He has navigated his illustrious career with minimal to no controversies, he’s opened up his own school to help the less fortunate kids from his home town, and he seems to get along with pretty much everyone everywhere. The same holds true […]

Below we’ve rounded out some of the most memorable final game performances of some former NBA players with legendary status. […]

When you talk about the San Francisco 49ers, you’re talking about one of the most established franchises in the league.

They’ve also won five of their seven Super Bowl […]

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.

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.

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 […]

In 2019, NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens and Boston Celtics owners Emilia Fazzalari and Wyc Grousbeck created Cincoro Tequila.

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 […]

The Atlanta Falcons don’t have an incredibly rich history. Since becoming an NFL franchise in 1966, the Falcons have only made a pair of Super Bowl appearances, losing both times. Also, between 1966 and 1990, Atlanta only made three trips to the playoffs. So, clearly, the Falcons’ organization struggled to get off the ground for […]

It will be hard to find an NFL team with a more successful history than the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have six Super Bowl championships, tied for the most in the league.
