Since Damian Lillard requested a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers, word around the NBA is that he and his agent Aaron Goodwin have been pushing for the seven-time All-Star to be traded to the Miami Heat. In fact, it has been said that Lillard will only accept a trade to the Heat and will […]

We’re now getting some good news from LeBron James’ camp. This is after the son of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, Bronny James, suffered cardiac arrest during a USC practice session.

From the start of the 2017-18 season through the 2019-20 season, James Harden was arguably the most unstoppable player in the entire NBA. While he’s still a high-level talent and one of the best playmakers in the entire league, Harden has definitely regressed as a superstar since being traded. Initially dealt to the Brooklyn Nets […]

Very rarely do we see professional athletes play with their siblings on the same team. Over the last four seasons though, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been able to play on the Milwaukee Bucks with his older brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo. It doesn’t seem like the Bucks nor Giannis are tired of the oldest Antetokounmpo brother yet though, […]

The Phoenix Suns had a hometown kid on their 2022-23 roster. Saben Lee played at Tempe (Ariz.) Corona Del Sol and starred with the team before he played college basketball at Vanderbilt.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is undoubtedly the new face of his franchise, and he recently received high praise from another player who quickly became synonymous with his respective organization.

It is very rare to see any professional athlete spend their entire career with the same organization and in the NBA, only three players have spent 20-plus seasons with the same team: Dirk Nowitzki with the Dallas Mavericks, Kobe Bryant with the Los Angeles Lakers and Udonis Haslem with the Miami Heat. At the beginning […]

Dikembe Mutombo established himself as one of the most dominant centers to ever play in the NBA with his emphatic blocked shots and iconic finger wag.

Los Angeles Clippers head coach Ty Lue has had the privilege of sharing the basketball court with many legends, but being teammates with Michael Jordan left him in complete amazement.

Are you taking this player or are you taking that player? This always seems to be a debate in the NBA world and on Friday, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith compared Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden during a segment on First Take after former NBA guard Jeff Teague picked Harden […]

The Detroit Pistons went for it. Once they ruled Cade Cunningham out for the season in November because of a shin injury, they sunk to the very bottom. They went all out for Victor Wembanyama. He was the franchise centerpiece they needed. They got the fifth pick instead. Oof. The Pistons missed out on Victor […]

The last time Dallas Mavericks fans saw Luka Doncic in action, it was during the team’s embarrassing, if smart, decision to punt a late-season game against the Chicago Bulls to secure better odds to keep their first-round pick. (Their gambit ended up working.) But the Mavs faithful shouldn’t have to wait too long to see […]

Yuta Watanabe, one of the Phoenix Suns’ latest signings, is going all-in in Japan’s hosting of the FIBA Basketball World Cup.

He even said that if […]

Another NBA offseason, another summer filled with question marks surrounding the Portland Trail Blazers as an organization. Ever since they made the Western Conference Finals in 2019, the Blazers have been on a steady decline, leading many to ask the question of whether or not superstar guard Damian Lillard would request a trade. Well, that […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard trade has not happened yet. Lillard requested a trade on July 2nd; it is July 27th, nearly four weeks after the request, and it is crickets on the trade front. Perhaps it is posturing to try to gain leverage in negotiations. Maybe they just don’t like whatever is being […]

Arguably the greatest player of all-time, LeBron James has accomplished everything one can accomplish in the NBA. He’s won titles with three different organizations, he’s been named to league’s MVP four different times, he’s a 19-time All-Star and most importantly, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. While he gave some […]

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid tied the knot this weekend. It was a joyous occasion for the Sixers big man, who will now be traversing the magnificent challenge of married life. ESPN broadcaster Stephen A Smith had a message for Embiid after getting hitched, but it wasn’t exactly a congratulatory note. In fact, Stephen A […]

The topic of forming superteams has been a point of contention in NBA circles since LeBron James took his talents to the Miami Heat in 2010 to form a big three alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Since then, other stars have followed in James’ footsteps. Who could ever forget the time when Kevin Durant, […]

Throughout his career with the Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green has had (at least) two high-profile squabbles against his own teammates. The first one involved Kevin Durant during the 2018-19 season when Green was seen shouting at KD during a game. This was followed by a highly publicized spat between the pair, which eventually led […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s center Chet Holmgren and 2023 number one overall draft pick Victor Wembanyama have a lot in common. Both young big men are well above seven feet tall, and both have the ability to redefine the center position in the most popular basketball league in the world. The Thunder and their fans […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ NBA Finals victory over the Miami Heat in 2011 is one of the most impressive upsets in the history of the sport. On paper, a big three led by an all-time great in LeBron James looked to be too overpowering for the Mavs to topple. Talent alone was never going to be […]

The Los Angeles Lakers won their first title in 12 years back in 2000 against the Indiana Pacers, led by a young Kobe Bryant among others.

The Phoenix Suns objectively had a disappointing end to their 2022-23 season after being ousted by the eventual NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets this past postseason.

To the surprise of nobody, the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. They now have a potential franchise cornerstone and generational talent. The name of the game now becomes filling out the rest of the roster and providing a solid supporting cast around him. […]

Over the past few decades, the San Antonio Spurs have had one of the absolute best scouting teams in the NBA. The Spurs have been praised for finding diamonds in the rough and major contributors in the second round of the NBA Draft. The Spurs came into the 2023 NBA Draft with two picks and […]

Buoyed by two perennial All-NBA candidates in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Los Angeles Clippers have long been a legitimate championship-contender.

Clippers head coach Ty […]

The Indiana Pacers knocked their offseason out of the park. It all started on draft day. Before the 2023 NBA Draft even started, the Pacers, who entered the draft with four of the top 32 picks, traded the Nos. 29 and 32 overall picks to the Denver Nuggets in return for a 2024 first-round pick. […]
