Stephen Curry‘s rise and fall in the eyes of NBA fans has been lightning fast this past year. The former beloved kid by everyone and the appreciation of his exciting gameplay eventually turned overnight and Curry became a villain. This was further enhanced after the Finals defeat and the forming of a super-team along with Kevin Durant. […]

Though not being able to sign the players part of their wishlist the past couple of years, one team that has been trying to lure big name free agents is the Phoenix Suns. Two years ago, they made a pitch to Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, and last summer, to LaMarcus Aldridge. Even if they […]

With the monumental signing of Kevin Durant, the Golden State Warriors were forced to break up a team that remained nearly intact from their 2014-2015 championship season.

Clippers […]

NBA players need to be careful about what they say about the Golden State Warriors. It probably isn’t a good idea to aggravate the 73-win team that just added Kevin Durant.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Brandon Ingram has been compared to Kevin Durant for a long time. The slender build and style of play has made the comparison work for most people.

Sometimes, super teams aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. You look at the roster on paper, and wonder how a team isn’t going to win multiple championships but then, before you know it, the team is breaking up. If the Boston Celtics in 2008 were the first super team of this modern era, they […]

Mike Krzyzewski has handled countless of multi-millionaire athletes over the course of his USA Basketball tenure, and if there’s one thing that has happened again and again for the 69-year-old coach, it’s that he always earned the players’ respect.

Via ESPN.com: Said Team […]

Xavier Henry just didn’t have the best luck with his introductory years into the NBA. He was a first round pick in the 2010 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, but has not seen much prosperity from there.
