One of the biggest changes Doc Rivers has made since taking over as head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers is in regards to culture.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins is heading to his very first All-Star Game this weekend, but even better, he was named a starter thanks to fan voting.

The Chicago Bulls are currently tied for top spot in the Eastern Conference with the Miami Heat and DeMar Derozan has been a major part of their success. The veteran is playing at an MVP level in his first season with the Bulls, but it was several years in the making that formed him into […]

The Miami Heat’s fantastic 2021-22 season could get even better. They look like a contender for the Eastern Conference throne again.

Oladipo injured his quad last season, requiring surgery […]

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated the Indiana Pacers to the tune of 50 points on a ridiculous 17-of-21 from the field in a 128-119 victory on Tuesday night.

With Jayson Tatum set to start […]

Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine has been battling a knee injury for a good month now, and there was some “concern” when it was reported over the weekend that he would be going to see a specialist in California to get another opinion on the problem. While there has been no official update on the […]

On paper, the Los Angeles Lakers with Russell Westbrook joining LeBron James and Anthony Edwards should have been a juggernaut right from the start. Instead, fans of the franchise are left wanting more from this core of aging superstars. As a result, the Brodie’s NBA card stock has taken a hit in the market, much […]

Those who have invested and held their Ben Simmons rookie cards during the last year or so know a thing or two about endurance. For one, the point forward’s conflict with the Philadelphia 76ers has gone on longer than anybody expected or wanted. His refusal to play has not only cost him millions of dollars […]

The Charlotte Hornets have struggled to find a groove as of late, losing eight of their last nine games after bowing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime on Tuesday night. It was a back and forth affair for the majority of the contest, but it looked like the Hornets were going to run away with […]

While many would have thought that Luka Doncic would be frustrated after frequently getting double-teamed in the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Miami Heat, that wasn’t exactly the case. Luka finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and six assist, but he had a hard time shooting the ball and made just five of his 19 […]

It’s still hard to fathom that Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving only played together for 16 games—SIXTEEN!—with the Brooklyn Nets. The experiment worked as well as James Corden in that movie about singing cats. Now, Harden is with the Philadelphia 76ers, forming another talented trio with Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris. On Tuesday, […]

The Brooklyn Nets went through a major shakeup right at the deadline after they green-lighted a blockbuster deal that saw James Harden take his talents over to the Sixers in exchange for Ben Simmons.

After years of toiling in the backburner, Gary Payton II has truly found a home with the Golden State Warriors. He has shown that he belongs to the NBA with his speed, toughness, and athleticism. Traits that, of course, he gained from his Hall of Famer dad. Payton has also provided some jaw-dropping highlights in […]

With the best record in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns don’t seem to need a ton of tinkering on its roster. As the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Nonetheless, Phoenix did make some moves prior to the February 10 trade deadline last week. They brought back Torrey Craig, who played a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made a big move right before the trade deadline by bringing over Serge Ibaka as part of a three-team, multi-player trade with the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Clippers. The defending champs are not done, though, as they are now closing in on a free agent that was recently released by […]

The NBA trade deadline passed and the Golden State Warriors decided to stay pat. After all, with the way they have performed this season, despite all the injuries and Stephen Curry getting as cold as leftover pizza at one stretch, there’s no reason to tinker with the roster. But that could change in the coming […]

Nobody anticipated the Chicago Bulls to play the way they are at the start of the season. They’re currently the Eastern Conference’s number two seed, despite struggling with several injuries across their team. It’s difficult to say they’re one of the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, but it’s also unreasonable to suggest they don’t […]

The Boston Celtics made history Tuesday night when they hammered the Philadelphia 76ers by 48 points on the road.

The Denver Nuggets seem to have conflicting feelings for Valentine’s Day. The team ran an in-arena promo for the day of hearts but Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. couldn’t have given more conflicting answers. Jokic apparently isn’t a big fan of V-Day. The Nuggets franchise player gave a profound reason for his disapproval. “I […]

James Harden made headlines again on Monday, but it wasn’t exactly for the best of reasons. The 10-time All-Star is still nursing an injury and has yet to make his Sixers debut following his blockbuster trade from the Nets. However, Harden made sure he was going to make an impact on the game — just […]

The Brooklyn Nets haven’t experienced the season that they had hoped for, and there are a variety of reasons for this.

The […]

James Harden is now officially a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. He hasn’t made his debut for the Sixers yet, but you can already sense from the things he’s been saying that he’s absolutely delighted to be with his new team. In the same light, Harden also decided to fire a bit of a shot […]

People didn’t want to give the Miami Heat the credit they earned coming into the season because they were swept by the Milwaukee Bucks in the previous playoffs. Despite being swept by that Bucks squad, the Heat had a fantastic summer and were able to enhance their roster in a variety of ways. It’s difficult […]

Charles Barkley was known as one of the most talented NBA players of all-time. Barkley was known for saying outlandish things and generally always being in the headlines, something that hasn’t necessarily changed during his career as a commentator.

The Philadelphia Sixers have had an eventful season. Nobody would have predicted the Sixers to be in this position a season ago, but because of the Ben Simmons scenario, the Sixers find themselves with a different squad after the deadline. It’s difficult to argue that the Sixers aren’t a title contender now that James Harden […]

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has been a huge supporter of player empowerment in the league, but after seeing the whole James Harden-Ben Simmons situation and trade between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, he knew they have to find a way to improve the system. Harden and Simmons basically forced their way out of the […]

It’s been a tough season thus far for the Los Angeles Lakers. A lot has been made of the functionality of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook playing together.

The Charlotte Hornets are set to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Both teams are in the middle of the pack in terms of playoff contention. They both also have a lot of talent, but we need to zero in on the top lottery picks from the 2020 NBA draft: LaMelo Ball […]

The Milwaukee Bucks haven’t had the kind of season they were hoping for after winning an NBA championship the previous season. It doesn’t appear to bother this Bucks team, since they didn’t have the number one seed last season and still won the championship. They were the number one seed in seasons before that, but […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James admits he feels bad for his 2019-20 LA teammates who didn’t get to experience a championship parade, especially those who won it for the first time.
