The Portland Trail Blazers entered the 2022 offseason under a ton of pressure to deliver on Damian Lillard’s wishes for a competitive squad.

For Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, it’s really cool to see Chet Holmgren make it to the NBA just three years after their viral moment in his camp.

[…]

Paolo Banchero is set to wield a lot of magic in Orlando this coming 2022-23 NBA season. He is one big reason why many experts gave the Orlando Magic a high offseason grade.

While Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero must be feeling mad about getting taken to school by Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray at a pro-am game, at least he’s not getting taken to the woodshed by a literal kid just like Houston Rockets star Jalen Green, who got faked out of his socks by one of […]

The San Antonio Spurs were among the weakest teams in the NBA last season. Looking ahead, they could be preparing for a lot more defeats this year.

On the court, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors have a bit of rivalry going on between them.

Sunday’s NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400 race at the Michigan International Speedway did not only feature one car with a connection to an NBA deity.

It’s hard to find anyone comparable to Kobe Bryant in the NBA, but if you’re going to ask Los Angeles Lakers assistant Phil Handy, one player comes close: Kyrie Irving.

If recent rumors are to be believed, it looks like Anthony Davis’ future with the Los Angeles Lakers in the post-LeBron James era is murky at best.

High expectations won’t burden the Houston Rockets this coming season, but that doesn’t mean they’re not ready to rise. So far, the Houston Rockets haven’t made big moves in the 2022 offseason. They appear to have had another strong draft, though. Recall that Jabari Smith Jr. unexpectedly fell to them at No. 3. That’s enough […]

It has been nothing short of a total catastrophe in Brooklyn.

Behind every successful man is a woman. There are few more successful men in all of sports than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, so to some extent, you can say that Savannah James also happens to be a great wife. The logic may be a bit flawed, admittedly, but I don’t think it would […]

It was in 1961 when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then a 14-year-old high school freshman, met the late, great Bill Russell.
