Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is without a doubt one of the most polarizing personalities in all of the NBA. He’s the most popular player in the planet right now, but he definitely also has his fair share of haters and naysayers. Blake Griffin of the Brooklyn Nets recently came to the defense of […]

After an injury-hobbled 2020-21 regular season and playoffs, James Harden highlighted that conditioning is his main focus this offseason. By the looks of it, the Brooklyn Nets star is working hard to keep himself healthy and ready for the grueling 82-game campaign. In fact in a recent video where he can be seen going on […]

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. Most have seen the in-game highlights of the flame thrower breaking three-point records. 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 Timberwolves have only made the playoffs once since 2004, and they were promptly eliminated by the Houston Rockets in five games in 2018. Something has to give here, and, […]

The Philadelphia 76ers ended a disappointing postseason run with an unexpected loss to the Atlanta Hawks in seven games. After the series ended, the media and the fans of the Sixers completely turned on forward Ben Simmons. During the summer, all reports indicated that  Simmons did not appreciate it, proceeding to ask for a trade […]

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. What ended up happening was not what Schroder could’ve expected, as he agreed to a $6 million deal with the Boston Celtics. The […]

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. Most recently, he took a hiatus from the team due to personal reasons, before the Nets acquired James Harden through trade, […]

More often than not, those belonging to the older generation of NBA cards hobbyists collect a wide spectrum of players. Given the chance, you’re going to see a lot of LeBron James, Luka Doncic, or Kobe Bryant cards in their respective collections. But above all these names, there’s one who will stand tall no matter […]

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 Spurs find themselves in a position they haven’t been quite accustomed to over the previous two decades. After being so dominant for so long, San Antonio is […]

Isaiah Thomas is still out here vying for an NBA job. He’s been balling out in Pro-Am games, even dropping 80+ points in a single contest. So when Thomas heard about a rumor that he’s taking his talents overseas, the veteran made sure to fire back and clarify that it couldn’t be further from the […]

The LA Clippers wrapped up their offseason quicker and quieter than most teams did, electing for a handful of minor moves to improve their roster on the margins as opposed to adding a superstar. Within a week, the organization re-signed Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson, and Nicolas Batum while also agreeing to a deal with Justise […]

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. Daryl Morey and Gersson Rosas were colleagues in Houston not too long ago. Camaraderie goes a long way in any industry. However, camaraderie is just […]

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. But one question asked by some would be how this deal affects his frontcourt partner Michael Porter Jr.? The short answer? It doesn’t. That’s according to […]

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. As expected, he was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the first overall pick in the 1969 NBA Draft. But unbeknownst […]

The Boston Celtics have done some retooling on their roster this offseason, but they have yet to acquire a true difference maker alongside their star wings in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. But apparently it isn’t from lack of trying. The Celtics were reportedly in hot pursuit of one of Jayson Tatum’s teammates on Team […]

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? While the Rockets will surely weigh their options in the coming days, it appears they have already made a move on one available guard. According to […]

Aaron Gordon recently signed a long term contract ($92 million) with the Denver Nuggets, making it seem like he will be with the team for the long run.

Carmelo Anthony and the Los Angeles Lakers have heard all the hate (and some concerns) about their age. In fact, they expected it.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is having an absolutely enjoyable offseason. He has every right to. After winning his first NBA title, he’s allowed to do practically anything he wants.

The Dallas Mavericks are in the market for some backcourt support behind Luka Doncic – and looks like they’ve zoned in on their target.

Influential actor and comedian Norm Macdonald passed away Tuesday at the age of 61 after a long battle with cancer.

Perhaps in the most fitting tribute, Griffin recalled his fondest […]

The Houston Rockets are expected to move their fourth All-Star guard from the last three seasons as a John Wall trade seems imminent. But apparently that wasn’t seen as the case just a couple of months ago. According to a report from The Athletic, John Wall served as the veteran voice that the Rockets desperately […]

The Sacramento Kings are not happy with a recent article redrafting the 2017 class and downgrading their very own De’Aaron Fox, albeit slightly. Clearly, the Kings–or the people running their social media–found it disrespectful that Bleacher Report put Fox as the sixth pick behind the likes of John Collins (5th) and Lonzo Ball (6th). For […]

Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns has had enough of people’s excuses when it comes to avoiding COVID-19 vaccines. Towns took to Twitter on Tuesday to air his opinion on the matter, doing so with much enthusiasm. “Every day I see a new excuse why people ain’t getting the vaccine. Ya starting to get creative with […]

For Stephen A. Smith, though, the […]

Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, John Wall and the Houston Rockets have met and mutually agreed to work to find a new home for the veteran guard. John Wall will be at training camp, but not play in any of Houston’s games. This is exciting news if you’re a Rockets fan who wants to […]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is often excluded in the GOAT discussions—which fans think is a fight between Michael Jordan and LeBron James—but the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers legend believe it’s something that will never be answered. In an interview with NBA insider Marc Stein, KAJ revealed his true thoughts on being snubbed in the GOAT […]

No team will enter the 2021-22 NBA season with as much pressure as the Los Angeles Lakers.

Carmelo Anthony happens to be one of the Lakers’ high-profile recruits, […]
