It’s been two years since we last saw him in a Charlotte Hornets uniform, but he’s now come back to the organization. Marvin Williams, who played six seasons repping the Hornets, has now returned to the team, except that this time, he will no longer be taking the court. Rod Boone of The Hornets Observer […]

The New York Knicks are coming off a less than ideal 2021-22 season after finishing six games out of a play-in spot with a 37-45 record. Julius Randle slumped hard after an All-Star 2020-21 campaign, and the rest of the Knicks supporting cast couldn’t pick up the lefty’s slack, including Obi Toppin, Randle’s primary backup, […]

Much has been made about Jimmy Butler’s hair transformation this summer. The Miami Heat star busted out some rather contentious dreadlocks that have garnered quite a bit of buzz. For his part, however, Kyle Lowry isn’t buying it one bit. In a recent interview, Lowry got brutally honest about how much he hates his teammate’s […]

The Chicago Bulls made huge moves in 2021 to spur the franchise back into the playoffs after having missed the postseason since 2017. Their biggest add was DeMar DeRozan, but it was the addition of 24-year old point guard Lonzo Ball that excited many fans, as Ball’s future as a do-it all defensive oriented sharpshooting […]

Amid all the drama the Brooklyn Nets have been through this summer, it’s almost easy to overlook the fact that this team has one of the most talented groups in the entire league. Now that the Nets have had their first taste of practice in training camp, head coach Steve Nash is confident that his […]

The Chicago Bulls were dealt an awful blow after it was revealed that Lonzo Ball could be in danger of missing the entire season. Ahead of another procedure on his injured knee, Ball himself revealed that he “can’t run or jump.” This is going to be his third surgery on the injury, which is why […]

So much has been made about Ben Simmons shooting, or rather, the lack thereof. If you ask Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash, however, he could care less about this particular aspect of Simmons’ game. Nash firmly believes that Simmons is a very special player regardless of his sub-par shooting acumen. After all, this is […]

Russell Westbrook’s accuracy from behind the arc is hard to trust, but it certainly did not fail him on one occasion during a Los Angeles Lakers practice, as he just beat LeBron James and Anthony Davis in a 3-point contest.

Despite his name swirling in trade rumors, Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic is here to stay for the time being. The veteran center addressed those rumors when speaking with reporters today and even joked about the situation. Vucevic said he was in constant contact with the Bulls front office and didn’t really pay attention to […]

Ben Simmons had an unceremonious exit from the Philadelphia 76ers last season, his tenure ending on the dunk he infamously passed up on during the postseason after being guarded by Trae Young, of all people. A lot was said about Simmons’ dedication and commitment to improving his game after he missed the entirety of last […]

Nick Young recently made some waves after his controversial take on the Ime Udoka situation with the Boston Celtics. The 37-year-old pretty much condoned the fact that Udoka had an affair with a female staffer by saying that it’s just human nature for men to get “bored.” As if that wasn’t enough, Young has now […]

I guess we can say that the Phoenix Suns had a pretty good 2021-22 NBA season. On one hand, they did finish with the best regular season record in the NBA. On the other hand, that accomplishment was eclipsed by how they were unceremoniously booted in the second round of the playoffs by the Dallas […]

It’s going to be a little while longer before Brooklyn Nets wing TJ Warren steps foot on an NBA court again. Nets head coach Steve Nash told reporters today that the veteran wing will not be ready to suit up for the team as he continues to recover from a foot injury. This weakens the […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a long list of obstacles to overcome during a disappointing 2021-22 season. Kyrie Irving’s refusal to comply with New York’s workplace vaccine mandate left Brooklyn without its second-best player for most of the season. Joe Harris played just 14 games before a pair of ankle surgeries ended his year. And Kevin […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are already starting to feel the intensity of Patrick Beverley before the 2022-23 NBA season could even start. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the veteran point guard revealed how he’s already racking up wins in Lakers training camp. “My team has been winning a lot. … Competition wise, I’ve been a part […]

It was a weird summer for both Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. Not only did KD attempt to facilitate his trade away from the team, but at one point, he also demanded that both head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks be fired from their post. Right now, however, it now seems […]

With the Ime Udoka situation still ripe, it’s easy to forget that the Boston Celtics had earlier been winning the offseason, especially when they managed to acquire guard Malcolm Brogdon via a trade with the Indiana Pacers back in July. Brogdon is seen as a perfect piece that would nicely fit alongside the likes of […]

It’s always naive to trust what you hear on Media Day, especially when players are tasked with giving inherently loaded responses regarding their long-term future. Optimism reigns across the league when a new season dawns. Unless someone really wants to hint at or force their impending departure, players typically toe the team line with a […]

LAS VEGAS – Kawhi Leonard went through a successful first day of Training Camp with his LA Clippers in Las Vegas, completing two practice sessions on Tuesday. Head coach Tyronn Lue said he came away feeling great. “He looked really good,” Tyronn Lue said of Kawhi Leonard. “Went through everything, both practices, so it was […]

It was Skip Bayless who first dropped the news about Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams nearly going at it during the Phoenix Suns’ Game 7 blowout against the Dallas Mavericks in last year’s Western Conference Semifinals. It was hip-hop icon Lil’ Wayne who served as Skip’s informant on the matter, with the rapper sitting courtside […]

The fierce NBA rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will never die out, and LeBron James is here to make sure of it. During NBA Media Day 2022, James was asked if he had a favorite opposing city to play in. Rather than saying Cleveland, Miami, or another city he has direct […]

After being hired as the new head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers early in the summer, it now feels like Darvin Ham has been at the helm for quite some time now. The fact of the matter is, however, that it was only recently that he got his first taste of action with his […]

Los Angeles Lakers offseason acquisition Patrick Beverley recently discussed an underrated element of LeBron James’ game. We all know that LeBron is a fantastic scorer and possesses incredible athleticism. But Beverley revealed the aspect of James’ game that makes him ‘one of the best’, per Mike Trudell. “It’s just high IQ basketball,” Beverley said. “Knowing […]

Ime Udoka’s situation with the Boston Celtics has been a very polarizing subject. Some folks believe that the year-long suspension he was slapped with was too harsh a punishment for his indiscretion, while others argue that it’s only fitting for his violation of company policy. Whatever the case may be, NBA icon Shaq just hopes […]

Tom Thibodeau has already pissed off New York Knicks fans by saying Evan Fournier is the current frontrunner to start at shooting guard, despite the organization refusing to include Quentin Grimes in any Donovan Mitchell trade because of how valuable he is. Although Grimes will be battling hard to change Thibs’ mind in training camp, […]

On the first day of camp, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash addressed the elephant in the room. He acknowledged Kevin Durant’s bombshell demand to have him and general manager Sean Marks fired earlier in the summer, while also stating that they’ve put this all behind them. Naturally, we all want to hear more about […]

2021-22 was not a great season for Anthony Davis, playing in just 40 games due to health problems.

Former NBA player Nick Young recently shared his brutally honest thoughts on the Ime Udoka cheating scandal.

PLAYA VISTA — The first three years of the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George era with the Los Angeles Clippers haven’t been a failure by any stretch. But they also haven’t been as successful as most had hoped. Now, with George entering his 13th season in the NBA, including Year 4 alongside Leonard, the pressure is on. […]

The Philadelphia 76ers made it clear on media day that toughness and defense are what they want to be known for this season. One of the biggest x-factors in their ability to do so relies on a young point guard — and it’s not Tyrese Maxey. Jaden Springer, who the Sixers drafted 28th overall in […]

Going into last year’s training camp, Anthony Davis was the talk of the Los Angeles Lakers. The eight-time All-Star had undergone an eye-opening bulking-up following a frustrating, injury-plagued 2020-21 season. He expressed a willingness to play more center. He seemed primed and motivated to regain his bubble form and put the Lakers — including LeBron […]

The Los Angeles Lakers 2021-22 season was, well, disappointing to say the least. Despite adding Russell Westbrook to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers never got off the ground last season, and ultimately ended up missing the playoffs just two seasons after winning a championship back in 2020. The Lakers were hard […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have a lot of promise heading into the 2022-23 season. With a healthy Zion Williamson joining a team that made the playoffs last year, it could be a big year for the Pels. As training camp begins, all signs seem to indicate that Williamson is ready to shine again. After missing […]

People have called LaVar Ball a lot of things over the years. Obnoxious. Blowhard. Distraction. These descriptions have come from LaVar’s penchant for saying wild things when it comes to his kids and his Big Baller Brand. One of LaVar’s favorite predictions is that one day all three of his sons — Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo […]

The Brooklyn Nets endured a very challenging offseason to emerge as a title contender heading into the 2022-23 NBA season. Despite the sky seemingly falling on the Nets, they still boast one of the best rosters in the entire NBA, and if everything can work out for them, they will be one of the toughest […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and their players are gearing up for the 2022-23 season now that training camp is officially underway.
