Nick Chubb stole the show on Thursday night as the Cleveland Browns took down the Pittsburgh Steelers on their TNF spectacle, 29-17.

Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons recently went on a tell-all interview with former teammate JJ Redick on The Old Man & the Three podcast.

The LA Clippers and their fans are anxiously awaiting the reunion of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but there’s another addition that’s still got everybody buzzing. Seven-time NBA All-Star John Wall joined the Clippers this offseason, and many are wondering what he’s got left. Wall joined the Clippers after securing a buyout with the Houston […]

When Kawhi Leonard and Paul George teamed up with the Los Angeles Clippers back in 2019, many expected them to immediately rack up the trophies. Everyone knows how that’s turned out thus far: in 2020, the Clippers squandered three double-digit leads against the Nuggets in their infamous 3-1 chokejob in the bubble, and in 2021, […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons is still trying to work his way back to 100 percent form.

PLAYA VISTA – As the 2022-23 NBA season grows closer, one thing gets more and more clear: Kawhi Leonard is ready and eager for his return to the LA Clippers lineup. When exactly he’ll make his return and how much he’ll play, however, remains to be determined. Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank met […]

Dusty Hannahs. If you aren’t familiar with this name and if it’s the first time you’ve heard of this player, then you are definitely not alone. All that’s about to change, however, now that he’s joined the Golden State Warriors. Oh, wait. Not really. Apparently, his rather bizarre stint with the Warriors lasted no more […]

Head coach Ime Udoka will now be suspended for the entire 2022-23 season after team officials learned about his illicit affair with a Celtics staffer.

If it’s Thursday night, we all know what Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is getting busy with, and that’s having his eyes glued to Thursday Night Football. The King even has already heaped praises at Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper, who caught the first touchdown of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yessir!!!! […]

The Denver Nuggets were one of the most formidable teams in the NBA. The fans expect to have a bright future in the NBA. The core of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray received instant success in the 2020 season, but injuries caused them to hit a bump in the road during their 2021-2022 run. With […]

After reports emerged that Ime Udoka was facing a “significant suspension” for a transgression that centered around an illicit affair with a Boston Celtics staffer, the general belief was that team was set to slap their head coach with a season-long suspension.

The Charlotte Hornets did not make any major move in the 2022 offseason. Outside of adding Dennis Smith Jr. and re-signing Cody Martin, not much has changed on their roster. The rest of the league seems like they are improving drastically. The Boston Celtics added Malcolm Brogdon. The Cleveland Cavaliers made the groundbreaking trade for […]

Boston Celtics icon Paul Pierce has chimed in on the Ime Udoka scandal that has rocked the basketball world. After getting caught having an illicit affair with a female staffer, the Celtics head coach is now awaiting what has been dubbed as a “significant suspension” for his transgression. If you ask Pierce, however, he believes […]

The Charlotte Hornets signed Dennis Smith Jr. to fill their hole at backup point guard. Isaiah Thomas occupied that position in 2021-22 and did a phenomenal job. He was a late-season acquisition, but the Hornets went 12-5 when he suited up. Smith’s signing could spell the end of Thomas’ tenure in Charlotte. Smith is a […]

The Detroit Pistons pretty much came out of nowhere to swoop in on Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz. The sharp-shooting veteran was heavily linked to the Los Angeles Lakers before the Pistons trade went down, and in the end, the Jazz settled for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee in exchange for Bogdanovic. According to […]

Luka Doncic may be one of the biggest superstars in the NBA today, but even the Dallas Mavericks superstar himself is not immune from the occasional starstruck moment — especially when it involves the great Michael Jordan. Speaking on a recent episode of NBA Today with Malika Andrews, Doncic shared his first-ever encounter with the GOAT. […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t have much spending flexibility this summer. The team that just set an NBA record for total payroll, in fact, lost a bidding war for all-world defender Gary Payton II in free agency, wary of going even deeper into luxury tax territory. But just because the Warriors’ team-building resources were limited […]

Most players don’t get better in their early 30s. If there’s one silver lining of the multiple injuries that cost Klay Thompson two-and-a-half seasons of his prime, though, it’s that he’s poised to be even better in 2022-23 than he was after his long-awaited return to the Golden State Warriors. Warriors coach Steve Kerr told […]

Ime Udoka made headlines on Wednesday for all the wrong reasons after it was announced that he was facing a significant suspension for an undisclosed violation of team policy.

It has been 15 months since Ben Simmons last played in an NBA game. His debut for the Brooklyn Nets represents one of the most highly anticipated returns in recent NBA memory. Despite this, the three-time All-Star isn’t lacking confidence heading into the 2022-23 season. Simmons appeared on The Old Man and the Three podcast […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the franchise cornerstone for the Milwaukee Bucks, but this organization doesn’t win an NBA title in 2021 without Khris Middleton. He is the right-hand man to the Greek Freak and a very important piece to their squad on both ends of the floor. 2022-23 is the final year of his $177 million […]

Even though the Dallas Mavericks made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals last season, no one is talking about them as a title contender in 2022-23. That will just fire up superstar Luka Doncic though, who made an appearance on NBA Today on Thursday. Speaking about the team’s potential, the Slovenian explained […]

The summer came and went with some of Jordan Poole’s contemporaries getting the type of massive payday he definitely deserves. As the deadline for rookie contract extensions quickly approaches, though, there’s still no indication the Golden State Warriors will lock Poole up long-term before he hits restricted free agency. General manager Bob Myers addressed the […]

NBA veteran Dwight Howard hasn’t yet called it a career. Although he’s currently a free agent, Howard clearly has his next opportunity just waiting for him. After attending a WWE tryout in July, president Triple H, a legend of the sport, has essentially left the door open for the big man to become a member […]

During the first round of the playoffs, Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons reportedly left the team group chat after being asked if he was playing in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics, according to reports.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have been rebuilding for a few years now. Their general manager, Sam Presti, has done a great job of acquiring draft capital. They also have some young talented players on the roster. One such player is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Gilgeous-Alexander has recently been rumored to be the next name in the NBA […]

News flash: A late first-round pick who was nagged by injury during his lone college season and didn’t play in Summer League probably won’t play a major role for the defending champions. Just because he’s surely on the outside looking in at the Golden State Warriors’ rotation as a rookie, though, hardly means Patrick Baldwin […]

Few teams in basketball return as many top players this season as the Golden State Warriors. The six-man core that led them to another title remains fully intact, with Kevon Looney re-signing in July and contract questions facing incumbent free agents Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole—not to mention Draymond Green, who has a player option […]

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka finds himself in trouble after having an affair with a team staffer.

The Miami Heat finished last season with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 53-29, no small feat in a conference that has shaped up to be extremely competitive. They also came terribly close to making it back to the NBA Finals, just falling short to the eventual runner-up Boston Celtics in a hard-fought […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons was expected to play at some point towards the tail-end of last season.

Simmons recently spoke out on the matter with JJ […]

It’s well-established that Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan don’t like each other. Their beef goes way back to when they were NBA stars in the 1980s and 1990s, with the Detroit Pistons-Chicago Bulls rivalry taking center stage, and we got a fresh look at it when The Last Dance came out in 2020. One infamous […]

It is the year 2022, and there have been plenty of advancements in the field of technology. One of the most revolutionary is the advent of artificial intelligence, and it’s very uncanny how programmers and designers are able to closely match human likenesses. Suffice to say, the future is now, and Dallas Mavericks star Luka […]

The next chapter of John Wall’s NBA career will continue with the LA Clippers. His journey, and his life, were almost cut short by his own doing during a very rough part of his life.
