The Los Angeles Lakers would not have taken a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night if it weren’t for LeBron James, that much is certain. Luka Doncic may have drilled the dagger triple to put the game out of the Pelicans’ reach, but it was James who built a cushion for the […]

LeBron James is more ground-bound than ever, which is not a surprise whatsoever considering that he recently turned 41 years of age on the 30th of December this past calendar year. Nonetheless, the Los Angeles Lakers star can still produce when it matters, like he did on Tuesday night to prevent the Lakers from suffering […]

LOS ANGELES – When the Los Angeles Lakers added Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia in the offseason, the prevailing thought was the former Memphis Grizzlies’ duo would bolster the team’s defense.

This season has shown, more than ever, that even someone as god-like as LeBron James is a mere mortal. James has shown greater signs of aging than ever, and at 41 years of age, that simply is to be expected. But every now and then, the Los Angeles Lakers star rises to the occasion and […]

With no Donovan Mitchell to save them, the Cleveland Cavaliers needed a heroic effort from somebody else as they trailed by nine points to the Indiana Pacers going into the fourth quarter on Tuesday.

The Indiana Pacers have to do some even deeper soul-searching after they lost their 13th consecutive game on a 120-116 defeat to the Donovan Mitchell-less Cleveland Cavaliers. These defeats are not coming from a lack of trying; Pascal Siakam, in particular, is fighting his heart out in every minute he spends on the hardwood. Siakam […]

At first glance, Ja Morant and Trae Young appear to occupy similar territory in the NBA trade deadline discourse.

The NBA Trade Deadline news cycle is churning with countless whispers, but the latest rumblings surrounding Zion Williamson’s New Orleans Pelicans are grounded in an unavoidable reality. A shrinking pool of teams can even consider a deal for the former first overall pick. Almost every contender is after Herb Jones or Trey Murphy III instead, […]

Age is really just a construct for Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. James has defied logic with his level of play at 41 years old. While most people his age are dealing with physical problems and medical bills, the four-time MVP has continued to soar high and gallantly compete. Against the New Orleans Pelicans […]

A massive amount of star power and talent was enough to excite Los Angeles Lakers fans about the pairing of LeBron James and Luka Doncic, but what really makes this a one-of-a-kind duo is the collective basketball IQ the two men possess.

The Detroit Pistons have been in a stellar vein of form ever since the season started, perched at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 27-9 record.

New coach, new front office, same old story for Zion Williamson’s New Orleans Pelicans heading into the NBA Trade Deadline.

It […]

Kevin Durant’s final 3-pointer against the Phoenix Suns came at the perfect time for the Houston Rockets.
