Paul George is one of the best forwards in the NBA today. But while his skills on the court made him one of the top free agents this year, George is also one of the polarizing figures in the NBA.

Former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins has openly criticized the New Orleans Pelicans‘ decision to draft Zion Williamson, suggesting that the team’s choice may have been a fundamental mistake given the city’s culture and its potential impact on Williamson’s health and development.

The New York Knicks, and specifically their starting lineup, undoubtedly qualify as a “superteam”. They added former All-Defense wing Mikal Bridges and a four-time NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns to a team with two or three other stars—one of whom, Jalen Brunson, is a potential MVP candidate. However, as we’ve seen in the recent past, superteams […]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2024-25 NBA season has been defined by underperformance, drama and injuries up to this point in late November.

It has been an up-and-down season for the Denver Nuggets so far. Early into the 2024-2025 NBA season, the Nuggets are currently posting a mediocre 9-7 win-loss card. To be frank, a lot of the wins has to do with the reigning three-time NBA MVP, Nikola Jokic. Without him, the Nuggets would probably do a […]
