Kendrick Perkins didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Brooklyn Nets after Kevin Durant and co. lost to the Philadelphia 76ers who were without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and James Harden. The Nets struggled from start to finish and even trailed the Sixers by 16 points in the fourth quarter before losing 115-106. While […]

Charles Barkley is a straight shooter. He’s never the type to sugarcoat whatever he has to say, and this has gotten him into quite some trouble through the years. However, there has been no bigger manifestation of the same than when Barkley’s brutally honest ways resulted in losing his friendship with the great Michael Jordan. […]

There were plenty of justifiable reasons to be concerned when it was announced that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was deemed week-to-week after he suffered a Grade 1 ankle sprain against the Oklahoma City Thunder last Friday. But Morant is no mere mortal. Only four days after being projected to miss at least a week, […]

Philadelphia 76ers fans can say all they want about Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons, but they can’t deny the fact that Simmons gave them free Chick-fil-A treats Tuesday night when he missed both free throws in the third quarter of this Sixers-Nets showdown. Philly fans lost it for some free Chick-fil-A after Simmons missed both […]

When Duncan Robinson re-signed with the Miami Heat in the offseason of 2021, fans expected him to up his production and be a key piece to a championship contender for years to come. Well, that has not happened, and his time in Miami appears to be coming to an end pretty soon. According to a […]

Kevin Durant is without a doubt one of the top players in the NBA today. This is exactly why opponents have constantly put a target on the back of the Brooklyn Nets superstar whenever they get to face him on the basketball court. This was exactly the case for Philadelphia 76ers forward Georges Niang on […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are already reeling from injuries to their three biggest stars. The last thing they needed was an injury scare to Tobias Harris. Coming out of the Sixers-Nets halftime break, Harris went down hard on his right ankle and was down on the floor writhing in pain for an extended period. Prayers up […]

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal missed Tuesday’s practice due to injury, sparking some concerns among fans about his condition. Beal is considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat after sustaining a quad contusion in their recent showdown with the Charlotte Hornets. He reportedly took a knee to the quad from Mason Plumlee late […]

Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets are in Philadelphia Tuesday night to play his old team, the Philadelphia 76ers. Nobody expected Simmons to play like Michael Jordan dropping 55 points on the New York Knicks shortly after making his comeback from his first retirement, but Simmons still managed to evoke some imagery of His Airness, albeit […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might have finally turned a corner after starting the season off terribly. Much of that turnaround is because of the play of Anthony Davis. Davis is averaging over 25 points per game, to go with 12 rebounds this season. It’s the first time since the 2018-2019 season that he is posting […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo took a lot of criticism after a video of himself forcefully pushing down a ladder after their game against the Philadelphia 76ers went viral.

Jordan Clarkson is feeling like he’s in a Filipino version of Groundhog Day, especially when the Utah Jazz are on the road. Clarkson and the Jazz were in Los Angeles Monday night to play the Los Angeles Clippers and — you guessed it — there was a Filipino Heritage Night in that game. Clarkson bared to […]

Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn provided injury updates on TJ Warren and Yuta Watanabe ahead of Tuesday’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The Nets ruled out Watanabe with hamstring tightness Tuesday. The 28-year-old, who signed a non-guaranteed contract with Brooklyn this summer, has been one of the feel-good storylines of the NBA over the […]

There is no doubt that Stephen Curry has firmly established himself as one of the most renowned players in the history of the NBA. To some extent, the same can be said about his Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson. As it turns out, however, this just wasn’t applicable to hip-hop icon Drake. Steph recently […]

Kawhi Leonard has played the last three games for the Los Angeles Clippers following a lengthy layoff due to a lingering knee injury.

Channing Frye has learned from the New York Knicks’ mistakes before, and so the former NBA big man believes he knows exactly what the team needs to do in order to become successful. The ex-NBA veteran started his career with the Knicks and played with the team from 2005 to 2007. While the ‘Bockers teams […]

Much has been said about how Philadelphia 76ers fans were expected to be hostile toward Ben Simmons in his return to his old stomping grounds.

The Miami Heat are going to be shorthanded yet again when they face off against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

With the Phoenix Suns up for sale, who could be the best person — or group — to save the day for the NBA franchise? Throw in the name of former NBA big man Channing Frye as among those with at least a semblance of interest in becoming part of a group that will next […]

Shaq has never been a very big fan of Dwight Howard. These two have gone back and forth for what feels like an eternity now. This only means that you just know Shaquille O’Neal had to have something to say about Howard’s eye-popping debut in Taiwan. For those that may have been a bit out […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recently went viral as he argued with a kid about Kobe Bryant being the GOAT over LeBron James and Michael Jordan. It was a contentious statement, to say the least, but perhaps somewhat lost in the animated conversation is how the Oklahoma City Thunder dropped an even more intriguing truth bomb about Stephen […]

Kyrie Irving is finally back. It took a bit longer than expected but it seems that the embattled superstar was able to meet all of the Brooklyn Nets’ demands for his reinstatement, and he has now been able to rejoin his team after an eight-game suspension. More than a few folks from in and around […]

Jayson Tatum surprisingly landed on the Boston Celtics’ injury report a day after losing to the Chicago Bulls, putting his availability for the next game in limbo.

The Golden State Warriors certainly aren’t off to the start they wanted in 2022-23. Just over a month into the regular season, though, a team meeting led by Draymond Green has sparked some much-needed optimism in San Francisco—not to mention revealed that his longtime status as the Dubs’ emotional leader remains intact. Bob Myers addressed […]

At this point, there are more than a few folks out there that would argue about Kobe Bryant’s GOAT status. One of them is Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Shai recently got into a passionate debate with a young kid in a video that has now gone completely viral. In it, the Thunder guard […]

At this point, it would probably be safe to say that one-time NBA champion Channing Frye is a fan of Victor Wembanyama. In a recent interview on the Legend Lounge with Trill Withers, Frye expressed just how much admiration he has for the young French phenom. Let’s just say that Frye is in awe of what […]

The Utah Jazz may appear on more trade rumors as they start to think about their plans for the 2023 NBA Draft soon. The race to the bottom of the NBA standings may not start now, former NBA forward Channing Frye said on a new episode of Legend Lounge with Trill Withers, but teams may […]

This season has gone quite unexpectedly for New York Knicks point guard Immanuel Quickley. Despite coming into the league two years ago as an effective microwave scorer, his scoring efficiency from the field and beyond the arc has dipped to new career lows this season (37.9% overall, 30.9% from three).  Conversely, he has made huge […]

The Philadelphia 76ers entered 2022-23 full of expectations. However, after a month of basketball, things are far from ideal.

The Chicago Bulls’ 2022-23 season was on the brink of collapse after a shocking 108-107 loss to the Orlando Magic dropped them to 6-10.

The Atlanta Hawks are off to a promising start with a 10-7 record. After making it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021, the team failed to advance past the first round of the playoffs last season. Now more than ever, the Hawks could be a legitimate threat in the East, in large part because […]

Pascal Siakam is nearing his return to the Toronto Raptors from his injury. The star forward was knocked out a few weeks ago after suffering a groin injury. Now, Nick Nurse has revealed that Siakam will be looking to return next week for the team, per Aaron Rose. The Raptors got off to a solid […]

Despite dropping three of their last five games, the Phoenix Suns own the second-best record in the Western Conference at 10-6 and look like a legitimate contender once again. But just because the Suns are one of the teams to beat in the West doesn’t mean they are content with their current roster.  According to […]

It’s never been more obvious that Stephen Curry is a long way from calling his legendary career quits. Coming off his long-awaited first Finals MVP, the Golden State Warriors superstar has played perhaps his best basketball ever over the first five weeks of the regular season, clearly still at the top of his game at […]

The Washington Wizards have surprised some folks thus far this season. The team’s record is 10-7, good for the fifth-best in the Eastern Conference and better than contenders such as the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat. And the Wizards have had great success despite owning a bottom-tier offense (28th in the NBA in points per game).  […]
