Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young became public enemy No. 1 when he absolutely wrecked the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, all while mercilessly trolling Knicks fans.

Heading toward the 2021-22 NBA season, the Houston Rockets are in a weird middle ground where they’ve started to tear down the foundation from the previous regime, but haven’t quite finished yet.

NBA schedule release is a weird tradition we have in sports. For the NBA, we historically didn’t care as much as do about it today. It may have stemmed from fans wanting to see their favorite teams play on the league’s marquee dates (Christmas Day, MLK Day, etc…). Whatever the case, it’s a big deal […]

The Chicago Bulls aren’t done making moves in what has been a fruitful offseason. After getting DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, and Derrick Jones Jr., the Bulls also targeted Paul Millsap.

Luka Doncic knows Monta Ellis is one of the veterans who have worked out with the Dallas Mavericks.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is one of the more interesting NBA players to follow off the court.

It’s hard to be Ben Simmons right now. He’s found himself in the headlines once again after publicly stating that he wants out of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Mavs’ new […]

The Sacramento Kings are coming off another season in which they missed the playoffs. They have not made the playoffs since 2006 and need to make changes to their roster.

The weapon of 3-point shooting is valuable, especially in today’s NBA. It spaces the floor and puts more points on the board.
