Anthony Davis is one of the best big men in the NBA and is often considered a Top 5 talent. However, for Richard Jefferson, that is the biggest disrespect the Los Angeles Lakers star can get.

[…]

After an injury-hobbled 2020-21 regular season and playoffs, James Harden highlighted that conditioning is his main focus this offseason.

The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers roster is, finally, nearly complete. Remarkably, after the departure of Marc Gasol, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Talen Horton-Tucker look like they’ll be the only returning pieces from last season, barring a belated re-signing of Wesley Matthews (which would be smart, by the way). Los Angeles is the oldest and […]

We’ve all seen the viral videos of Klay Thompson making it rain during workouts with the Golden State Warriors.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a perfectionist at work in person, and rookie Moses Moody understands that now more than ever. The rookie […]

New Minnesota Timberwolves veteran guard Patrick Beverley hasn’t missed the playoffs yet in his career, though injuries have forced him to miss a few series.

The Philadelphia 76ers ended a disappointing postseason run with an unexpected loss to the Atlanta Hawks in seven games.

When Dennis Schroder turned down a reported $84 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers during last season, he was banking in on himself to land a bigger deal in free agency.

Brooklyn Nets superstar guard Kyrie Irving is an interesting player when it comes to off-the-court things. He has been in the news numerous times before, speaking to the media about his beliefs and views.

More often than not, those belonging to the older generation of NBA cards hobbyists collect a wide spectrum of players.

After making the playoffs 22 straight times from 1998 to 2019, the San Antonio Spurs have failed to advance to the postseason the last couple of years.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have allegedly been in talks with the Philadelphia 76ers with regard to the acquisition of Ben Simmons via trade. This seems like a match made in heaven.

The Denver Nuggets just spent big on Aaron Gordon. The athletic swingman signed a four-year, $92 million extension that keeps him in the Mile High city throughout his prime.

Before he was known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he made immediate waves as a dominant force at UCLA when he was still named Lew Alcindor Jr. He was a can’t-miss talent, shattering numerous NCAA records.

The Dallas Mavericks are rumored to be signing free agent guard Frank Ntilikina, a move that could kill all the hopes of the Mavs landing Goran Dragic to pair up with Luka Doncic. However, the decision still makes sense for a Dallas team looking for long-term solutions. Sure enough, at first look, Frankie Smokes doesn’t […]

In a rather expected move, the Houston Rockets and John Wall agreed to go separate ways on Tuesday. This of course immediately begs the question: Who will replace Wall?
