JR Smith had a very good career in the NBA. He won two NBA championships, won awards throughout his career and at one time was known as one of the more deadly shooters in the league. At times during his career, he appeared to have a specific mentality of a player that garners attention. Clearly, […]

The Miami Heat have a dire need for a new starting power forward. They lost PJ Tucker to free agency this past offseason, and now they’re left scrambling for a replacement. While they have some intriguing talents on the bench, the team would prefer to have a proven starter in that position. A player that […]

James Harden proved his loyalty to the Philadelphia 76ers when he decided to take a major pay cut in order to help the Sixers with their salary cap situation.

Kobe Bryant took practice very seriously. As a matter of fact, the Los Angeles Lakers icon treated everything basketball-related with a certain sense of solemnity. Former teammate Luke Walton had to learn this the hard way, and it was a lesson that the Cleveland Cavaliers assistant coach will never forget. Back in 2016, Walton went […]

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green hasn’t been shy about pushing his “new media” initiative over the past few months.

In this light, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner has been quite vocal when it comes […]

Draymond Green and DeMar DeRozan are good friends.

There’s no replacing Michael Jordan in Chicago. But for a brief spell during the Bulls’ 2021-22 campaign, DeMar DeRozan was seemingly pulling off an impressive impersonation of His Airness at the United Center. DeRozan was the toast of the NBA for a stretch of a few weeks last season, hitting his stride in February when […]

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo has a lot to prove this season.

Odell Beckham Jr., who won his first Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams last season, was recently hanging out Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, and it seems that the pair got a little bit too close for comfort.

Trading Russell Westbrook has proven to be quite a daunting challenge for the Los Angeles Lakers. This obviously has a lot to do with the gargantuan contract he currently has, with opposing teams unwilling to take on such a significant cap hit for a player like Russ. At this point, the possibility of Westbrook staying […]

Sitting out of Summer League definitely isn’t how Ryan Rollins envisioned the start of his NBA career. Fortunately for the second-round pick, the Golden State Warriors saw enough from Rollins in college to reward him with a guaranteed deal regardless. Shams Charania of The Athletic and STADIUM reported on Thursday that Rollins has signed a three-year, $4.8 […]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ big-picture hopes of sustained championship contention hinge most on Zion Williamson’s health. Given the direct ties between injury woes and weight and conditioning issues early in his career, it comes as no surprise the Pelicans protected themselves while signing the 21-year-old wunderkind to a max-level extension. Christian Clark of NOLA.com reported […]

The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t made much headway with regard to a Russell Westbrook-for-Kyrie Irving trade with the Brooklyn Nets.

An anonymous NBA insider seems to have […]

Steph Curry further cemented his standing as one of the two best point guards ever while leading the Golden State Warriors to a fourth championship in eight seasons and winning his first Finals MVP award.

Draymond Green reportedly wants a long-term, max-level contract, and all indications suggest the Golden State Warriors are hesitant to give it to him. Could that friction lead to the four-time champion’s departure from The Bay? It’s too early in the process to go down that road. Green becomes eligible for an extension on August 3rd, […]

Unlike a lot of players in the NBA, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has made his name in the shoe game with Adidas rather than Nike. Dame has his own signature sneaker and on Thursday, he offered a sneak peek into his latest release on IG:   View this post on Instagram   A […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has found himself in trade rumors for most of the offseason, particularly after Kevin Durant expressed a desire to play elsewhere.

The Donovan Mitchell trade rumors continue to swirl, with the New York Knicks emerging as the favorite to land him if the Utah Jazz decides to blow it up. While there have been reports earlier this month that NY is unwilling to include RJ Barrett in a blockbuster for Mitchell, it appears the Jazz might […]

When talking about LeBron James’ children in basketball, the conversation often goes to Bronny James. After all, he’s the one who is the closest to playing in the NBA.

The Atlanta Hawks have been active in the 2022 NBA offseason, but could they still make a play for Donovan Mitchell? Donovan Mitchell’s future as a player is still up in the air. A big part of it is because of how the Rudy Gobert trade set the table in terms of what star players […]

LeBron James’ Drew League appearance was a historic moment for hoop fans everywhere.

As usual, Bron did not disappoint, putting on a show for […]

DeMar DeRozan’s first season with the Chicago Bulls was a rather confusing rollercoaster for fans. On one hand, the former Raptors and Spurs All-Star had a fringe MVP campaign for himself in the 2021 – 2022 season. However, their season ended on a bad note, as they slumped towards the end of the regular season […]

What can Andre Iguodala offer if returns to the Golden State Warrios?

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green faced no shortage of criticism a few days ago when he claimed that his 2017 Dubs team would’ve beat the 98′ Chicago Bulls in a seven-game series and blew out their Finals opponent that year, the Utah Jazz, by 40 points. Old heads certainly didn’t like this take, but […]

Does it make sense for the Los Angeles Lakers to run it back with 38-year-old Carmelo Anthony? The Lakers have clearly intended to get younger this summer. Their free agent signings show that they succeeded in that goal. This approach, however, may not have necessarily addressed their weaknesses last season. One of their main problems […]

Just a season removed from their last title run, the Milwaukee Bucks will be back with a vengeance next season and looking to reclaim the throne.

Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry came up a little bit short on Wednesday when he threw the honorary first pitch during the Oakland Athletics’ matchup against the Houston Astros.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton recently held a basketball clinic for kids and it turned out to be quite a successful event.
