This organization has had a number of great, iconic teams through the years, and they’ve had players […]

Luka Doncic is expected to take the MVP leap this year in his first full year with the Los Angeles Lakers. In fact, the NBA world is still reeling from Doncic’s bombshell trade at the deadline when the Dallas Mavericks sent him to the Purple and Gold in return for Anthony Davis. With a change […]

On paper, a movie about a man hiding out in a Toys “R” Us should be a home run. Channing Tatum brings it to life in Roofman, a movie adaptation of the wild story of Jeffrey Manchester. It seems every couple of years, movie theaters get a refreshing change of pace with a star-studded film […]

The Portland Trail Blazers franchise has existed for over 50 years now, as it joined the NBA as an expansion team back in the year 1970. Over the last five-plus decades, the organization has won one NBA title back in the year 1977 and has made the NBA Finals three times, in 1977, 1990, and […]

The Sacramento Kings organization has been around for quite a long time. They began as the Rochester Royals back in 1945 when the NBA was still in its fledgling stages and called the NBL. The franchise then relocated to Cincinnati in 1957 and stayed there for 15 seasons until 1972 rolled around. The Royals relocated […]

The Golden State Warriors have been doing their best in trying to maximize Stephen Curry’s closing championship window.

It is unclear who exactly was asking for a Jared Leto-led Tron: Ares — the third installment in the series — nearly 20 years after legacy, but Disney and Joachim Rønning delivered it. There are ho-hum sequels, and then there’s Ares. There was no need for a third Tron movie, at least not one 15 […]

Throughout their history, the Denver Nuggets have been a consistent presence in the postseason, though until very recently of course, that had never translated into the ultimate success.

Kawhi Leonard is one of the best superstars in the NBA today. It wasn’t long ago when the Los Angeles Clippers rejoiced when they successfully lured him from the Toronto Raptors.

In the more than 50 years which have passed since the franchise came into existence, the Milwaukee Bucks have seen some pretty high-level talent walk through their doors.

If one chooses to look at the New York Rangers from the perspective of championships won, it is a rather sad story.

When Monty McCutchen, the NBA’s Senior Vice President of Referee Development and Training, discusses what separates good referees from great ones, he doesn’t focus on rulebook knowledge or positioning fundamentals. Instead, the legendary referee with NBA Finals appearances repeatedly returns to a single concept: processing power. It’s a revealing choice of terminology borrowed from computer […]

Amid the relentless intensity of NBA games, where razor-thin margins and heated rivalries amplify every whistle, accountability stands as the unsung hero of top-tier refereeing. It is an undeniable necessity as few roles face more scrutiny than the game’s officials. Every decision is dissected in real-time by thousands in attendance and millions watching at home. […]

In his younger days, Monty McCutchen, now the Senior Vice President and Head of Referee Development & Training for the NBA, had few prospects for a professional basketball career.

Fans scrutinizing every whistle and non-call has always been just a fact of life in basketball. Unfortunately, the ridiculous rhetoric is only getting worse in the NBA’s replay review era. Thankfully, the NBA and WNBA’s approach to officiating development has undergone a significant transformation under the leadership of Vice President of Referee Development and Training […]

The Nashville Predators are one of the National Hockey League’s success stories in the southern United States.

The franchise has had some great players and added some more marquee names […]

The Minnesota North Stars were painfully relocated to the Lone Star State, dropping the “North” from their name and beginning play as the Dallas Stars for the 1993-94 season.

Bobby Petrino is back at the helm for Arkansas football. The football coach has had a lot of success in the college ranks over the years.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the most unique teams in the NHL. There is no team from the league’s original expansion in 1967-68 that can match the five Stanley Cups they have won. In addition to their championship haul, they also have had some of the greatest players in the history of the sport. […]

The Edmonton Oilers fell short of the Stanley Cup this past season for the second straight season. The 2024 Stanley Cup Final marked their first appearance in the Final since 2006.

Auston Matthews is coming off a rather disappointing season after Matthews had one of the greatest seasons in Maple Leafs history the year before.

The second iteration of the Winnipeg Jets has only been around for 14 seasons. The Atlanta Thrashers moved after 11 seasons of their own, and the combined history has not led to much team success.

The New York Islanders Top 10 list is full of players who won four consecutive Stanley Cups in the early 1980s. The star-studded group featured five Hall of Famers and launched the Islanders into relevancy less than a decade into their existence.

There have been instances in the past when a sketch’s concept has been adapted into a movie or TV show before Glen Powell created Chad Powers for Hulu with Michael Waldron.
