JJ Redick is a real stud in every sense of the word. If you don’t believe me, then just ask Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue. Or rather, ask his mom. Lue was the guest of honor in a recent episode of Redick’s The Old Man & The Three podcast, and they had quite […]

Brooklyn Nets star point guard Kyrie Irving has always been a positive, dynamic contributor on the court, capable of dazzling crowds with his vast array of tricks.

No Joel Embiid, no problem. This was exactly the case for the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night as Tyrese Maxey led the charge for the Sixers in a scorching-hot first-half performance against the Toronto Raptors.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich made sure Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan gets his moment after reaching the 20,000-point mark. Heading to Friday’s Bulls-Spurs contest, DeRozan needed just seven points to crack the scoring milestone. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the swingman to score that much, getting his 20,000th point midway […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has fully lived up to expectations as a number one overall pick, except for his eating habits that clearly bother Karl-Anthony Towns. All jokes aside, Ant put himself in the history books on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, draining his 400th career three-pointer, becoming the youngest player ever […]

Five games into the new season and Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant is averaging a career-best 32.6 points per game. The sample size is undeniably small, but at this point, it does look like Ja could sustain this blistering pace the rest of the way. Stephen A Smith definitely agrees. So much so, that he […]

Christian Wood is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career so far. Coming off the bench for the Dallas Mavericks, Wood is putting up some phenomenal numbers.

According to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Bucks still don’t have a timetable for the return of the trio. #Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer […]

One could argue that it was the Memphis Grizzlies who gave the Golden State Warriors the biggest challenge during their majestic title run last season. Ja Morant definitely believes it. So much so, that the Grizzlies superstar is adamant that his team would have prevailed in their Western Conference Semifinals series had it not been […]

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham knows how hard it is to replace Anthony Davis. Just how difficult? Well, as Ham said, it “might take two or three guys” to fill the void the big man left on both ends of the floor. Ham made the rather painful confession on Friday ahead of their […]

The Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans face off on Friday night for the first time since going toe-to-toe in the first round of the playoffs last season. It was the top-seeded Suns that emerged victorious in that series, 4-2, so you can be sure the Pels will be out for some revenge this […]

Christian Wood had a quiet game on Thursday as the Dallas Mavericks took down Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in overtime, 129-125. The new Mavs recruit took just five shots in 24 minutes off the bench for 11 points, which stands out as his lowest scoring output throughout his four-game tenure in Dallas. Be […]

Kyrie Irving does a lot of questionable things on Twitter. This has become somewhat second nature for the highly polarizing Brooklyn Nets superstar. On Friday, Kyrie sent out a tweet that might get him into hot water again: https://twitter.com/KyrieIrving/status/1585704113433677829 Seems innocent enough, right? The Nets point guard also didn’t include any caption in his tweet, […]

It’s obviously in Joe Lacob’s best financial interest to balk at expectations the Golden State Warriors payroll could soon explode into the $400-$500 million territory. Details of reporting about NBA owners’ yearning for a hard cap in the next CBA, though, reveal that Lacob’s summer talk about already being “in trouble with the rest of […]

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan is seven points away from history. Since making his debut for the Toronto Raptors on October 28th, 2009, in a 10-point win over Shaquille O’Neal and the Cleveland Cavaliers – seriously – DeRozan has appeared in 962 regular season games with 950 starts for the Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, and […]

The average NBA franchise has never been valuable, and we’re less than two weeks into a season where the Larry O’Brien Trophy seems truly up for grabs.

The Brooklyn Nets have started the season 1-4, and it’s not too early to declare that the Ben Simmons experiment isn’t working. Simmons is playing 31 minutes and averaging 5.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 6.2 rebounds per game. He’s also not providing the defensive punch the Nets were hoping for. The team still ranks in […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been seen at Cowboys games in seasons past supporting America’s Team, but it seems unlikely that fans will see him there again anytime soon after his recent comments.

The Los Angeles Lakers plan to shift Russell Westbrook to a bench role for the foreseeable future, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Klay Thompson has faced a barrage of adversity ever since he tore his ACL in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ fateful Game 6 tussle against the Toronto Raptors. After missing the entire 2019-20 season, he then proceeded to tear his Achilles prior to the subsequent campaign, delaying his return to the court […]

The Golden State Warriors started off the season with an 11-man rotation. In their latest win against the Miami Heat, only 10 players took the court – leaving out second-year man Jonathan Kuminga.
