Kyrie Irving’s reputation has taken a massive dive in the last few days, not only as one of the most clutch players in the NBA, but also as a leader and teammate. The Boston Celtics lost a fourth straight game to the Milwaukee Bucks and were eliminated from the playoffs, and it didn’t take long […]

Being down 3-1 in any series is not a desirable scenario to be in, but it’s a feeling that Celtics All-Star Kyrie Irving is familiar with. In 2016, Irving and the Cavs found themselves trailing the Golden State Warriors by the same tally. However, that matchup was for all of the marbles, as they say. […]

LeBron James has established himself as one of the greatest athletes of this era. As a three-time champion who delivered his hometown team its first title, his fans are devout, and most will follow him to the end.

According to the Sports Business Journal, the NBA’s television numbers dipped this 2018-19 campaign after a strong season of viewership in 2017-18.

Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double in a 90-86 Game 7 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, giving him his second triple-double of the first-round series.

With a chance to close out the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 5 at Oracle Arena, the Golden State Warriors instead laid a major egg defensively and took home a 129-121 defeat, sending this series back to LA.

Rodney Hood has had an interesting career arc throughout his five seasons in the league, once a promising young talent for the Utah Jazz, but one that never fully materialized before the franchise decided to ship him to the Cleveland Cavaliers. One stop later now in his career, the Portland Trail Blazers guard has finally […]

In Channing Frye’s opinion, former Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving has the nastiest handles in the NBA. Frye made an appearance on TNT’s “NBA Twitter Live” on Wednesday, during which he recalled a time when he played Irving one-on-one in a scrimmage game. Frye told the panel Irving “tore the treads” off his ankles. […]

Though the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James missed the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season, he has been plenty busy this offseason.

Although they did not make the playoffs this season, the New Orleans Pelicans are likely to remain in the NBA spotlight well into the summer.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown has yet to watch Game 7 of last season’s Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Should he? Maybe. Maybe not. But there are reasons why the third-year wing has yet to relive his Celtics blowing a 12-point lead down the stretch to a team spearheaded by LeBron James. He […]

LeBron James has moved on. Seemingly before he even left Cleveland, LeBron had become a Laker. Since, the Cleveland Cavaliers will miss the playoffs for the first time in four years and have their fewest wins since the 2010-2011 season. They’ve fired their head coach, that once brought them their first NBA Championship, and currently, […]

The curtain dropped on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2018-19 season […]

Former Los Angeles Lakers big man Larry Nance Jr. is now a member of the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers.

[…]

It remains to be seen whether LeBron James will have another chance to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

The two-time defending champions are in a more stable position than […]

When the Miami Heat acquired LeBron James and Chris Bosh back in 2010, everybody thought the team would be together for a long time.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were on a mission to stop Devin Booker from dropping 50 on them, as the Phoenix Suns phenom is going through the best scoring streak of his young career, dropping 59 points against the Utah Jazz, 50 against the Washington Wizards and 48 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

It’s one of the ultimate what-ifs in NBA history. The Los Angeles Clippers could have drafted Kyrie Irving in 2011 had they protected that draft pick after trading Baron Davis to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The fallout would have been crazy from a historical perspective, as LeBron James maybe never returns to the Cavaliers due to […]
