Luka Doncic and Dirk Nowitzki have grown really close together. The latter has been a sort of mentor to the Dallas Mavericks star during his first few years in the league.

The Golden State Warriors added another championship under their belt in the 2021-22 NBA season.

The Brooklyn Nets are in complete chaos in the 2022 offseason. Their two biggest stars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have both requested to be traded away from the team. It’s a mighty fall from grace for a team that was billed as the top dog in the league prior to the start of […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young couldn’t help but call out a reporter for his ridiculous trade suggestion of swapping him and Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant.

The Phoenix Suns seemed to grab pole position in the chase for Kevin Durant.
