Kevin Durant and LeBron James are two of the best players of all-time. LeBron is considered by some to be the greatest player ever, while others place him behind Michael Jordan. Durant, meanwhile, has an argument for being ranked within the top 10 players in the history of the game. But which star will win […]

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic continues his dominance against the best of the best in the NBA. In fact, Jokic and the Nuggets are 11-0 in his last 11 games against the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry and the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, according to Reddit user floatermuse: “Passing of the Torch: Nikola Jokic […]

The Miami Heat (31-25) are rarely in optimal condition during the NBA regular season. That is just a fact of life South Beach has come to accept over the last few years, which is much easier to do after two recent Finals appearances. The injury bug continues to feast on this squad in 2023-24, with […]

San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama is no stranger to navigating ridiculous, borderline hyperbolic expectations. Not since LeBron James walked into the NBA as an 18-year-old over two decades has a player came into the league with so much pressure to be great right away, and as was the case with LeBron, early returns […]

While it certainly wasn’t the biggest move across the league, the Milwaukee Bucks addition of Patrick Beverley was one of the most divisive deals ahead of the trade deadline in the NBA this season. Not only was it confusing to see the Philadelphia 76ers move on from Beverley, but he also had some long standing […]

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac left Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks in the first quarter as a result of a left leg/knee injury. After backing down Hawks’ Jalen Johnson while attempting to drive towards the rim on offense, Isaac’s left leg appeared to go out, resulting in an awkward split and the Magic big […]

Check out our Sneakers news for more upcoming releases and breaking content! LeBron James has […]

LeBron James’ future with the Los Angeles Lakers is clouded in uncertainty. Brian Windhorst of ESPN recently provided an update on James’ potential contract desires, via ESPN. “I don’t think this is LeBron’s last stand, I don’t think this is the Lakers’ last stand,” Windhorst said. “First off, I think LeBron is angling to sign […]

The NBA season truly doesn’t start until after the All-Star break. While there are always a handful of teams that cement their status as the best of the best each year prior to the All-Star break, the last five to six weeks are where things begin to get interesting. Every game matters a little more […]

On Monday morning’s episode of First Take, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith yelled that Boston Celtics’ forward Jayson Tatum is currently atop his MVP ballot, followed by Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. Stephen A. went on to justify both his selection and Tatum’s candidacy using the tried and […]

Domantas Sabonis continues to stuff the stat sheet and added to some NBA history with his latest performance on Sunday. The Sacramento Kings star big man recorded his 20th triple-double of the season in Sacramento’s 123-107 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Only five other players in NBA history have accomplished that feat, including Hall […]

The Boston Celtics are cruising along as the NBA gets underway after the All-Star break. With victories over the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks since returning to action, the C’s find themselves in the middle of a nice eight-game win streak. Barring a historic collapse, the postseason is well within Boston’s sights, which has […]

The Golden State Warriors are expected to have Chris Paul back in the lineup on Tuesday night when they take on the Washington Wizards, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. 🚨 Chris Paul is listed as AVAILABLE for tomorrow's Warriors-Wizards game, per @ArmstrongWinter. CP3 has been out of action since January 5 due to a […]

The Milwaukee Bucks grabbed a big victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday in what was head coach Doc Rivers’ return to the City of Brotherly Love. And by no surprise, the Sixers faithful gave Rivers the reception we were all expecting: A flurry of boos. But, it didn’t bother Doc the least, who enjoyed […]

Many believe NBA officials give some players the benefit of the doubt when making a foul call, but that is probably not a perk afforded to the outspoken and controversial Draymond Green. The Golden State Warriors forward was on the unfortunate end of a missed call late in the team’s 119-103 loss to Nikola Jokic […]

The Portland Trail Blazers fell 93-80 to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night in a battle between two teams jockeying for lottery position. In a game that saw the Blazers without Shaedon Sharpe, Malcolm Brogdon, and Scoot Henderson – and the Hornets without LaMelo Ball – it’s no surprise that points were hard to come […]

Many players decided to rest during the All-Star break, and some even did during the 2024 All-Star Game (much to the chagrin of the NBA). However, Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were pushing each other to be better instead of just coasting. Although the final score was a whopping 211-186 in favor […]

Shannon Sharpe gave an odd take about Kyrie Irving’s game that left both Stephen A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins in disbelief on First Take Monday morning. The panel was discussing if the Mavericks were title contenders in the West following their 133-111 loss to the Pacers on Sunday afternoon. Sarpe was bullish on the Mavericks […]

Spencer Dinwiddie is having a rough time with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Brooklyn Nets point guard was signed by LA during the deadline in an effort to improve the roster. However, Dinwiddie has been playing horribly for the Lakers so far. His latest game against the Phoenix Suns saw his shoot inefficiently from […]

After posting a rare “5×5” game, San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama followed with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and five blocks in a loss to the Utah Jazz. Such outings are now the norm for the generational prospect and beg the question of how much more he can improve before the end of his rookie […]

Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks shook the organization at the All-Star break, firing Jacque Vaughn and promoting Kevin Ollie to interim head coach. For a team hoping to attract marquee players in coming seasons, he did so with a playoff push in mind. “With 28 games to go and 55 days before the playoffs […]

Because he lacks remarkable athleticism and frequently looks red in the face, it is easy to misidentify Nikola Jokic as being out of shape. The on-court results say otherwise, though, which is something Draymond Green can attest to after the Denver Nuggets (39-19) defeated the Golden State Warriors (29-27) Sunday night. The lauded defender was […]

Just a week after the 2024 NBA All-Star Game took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, the NBA has already begun thinking about All-Star Weekend many years from now. The Phoenix Suns and new owner Mat Ishbia are nearing plans with the NBA to host the 2027 NBA All-Star Game festivities in the desert, according to The […]

Do you Bolieve? Phoenix Suns do. Bol, whose father, Manute Bol, is one of the tallest players in history, has a rare if not unique skill. Bol Bol, who the Suns signed this offseason following a cut from the Orlando Magic, is a tweener because he is listed at 7-foot-3 but can dribble, handle and […]

The Dallas Mavericks acquired PJ Washington Jr. and Daniel Gafford before the NBA trade deadline. The additions strengthened Dallas’ depth around Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Could Dallas look to make a post-trade deadline addition as well? “Before last night’s game was told that if they can find the right fit, the Mavs definitely are […]

While it’s impossible to have LeBron James travel back in time and play in the same era as Michael Jordan, that hasn’t stopped chatbots from giving it a try. We’ve already asked ChatGPT in the past to answer questions we never thought we could find answers to when we had it rank the top 25 […]

Unlike their previous three games against the Dallas Mavericks, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers, Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs faced a team that’s not expected to make the 2024 NBA playoffs. But like the Mavs, Kings and Lakers, the Utah Jazz proved too much for the “sloppy” Silver and Black. A 128-109 […]

With a 9-3 record, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the NBA’s best teams in February. The Warriors could have secured a 10th win in the month on Sunday but a 16-point blown lead led to a loss by that same margin at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. Golden State held its […]

The 2024-25 season promises to be the dawn of a new era for the Los Angeles Clippers. Long under the shadow of their in-city rival, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Clippers will finally be departing Crypto.com Arena, with the 18,000-seater Intuit Dome set to begin operations in August. And as they embark on a new […]

This year’s Rookie of the Year race is shaping up to be a wild one. Currently, the two players vying for the title are Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren and San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. The two lanky rookies are neck-and-neck for that important award. On Thursday night, Holmgren gained a slight edge […]

The Golden State Warriors suffered another tough loss on Sunday afternoon when they blew a 16-point first half lead to suffer a 119-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Just when it seemed like the Warriors were finding some consistency with their lineup, they faltered against the defending champions, and after the contest, Steve Kerr had […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, 119-103. What made this recent game painful for Golden State was how they built and squandered a 16-point lead during the second quarter. As the final buzzer sounded, Stephen Curry and Co. collected their seventh straight loss to the Nuggets. Following the game, Warriors […]

In his first game with the Cleveland Cavaliers after the annual All-Star break, Donovan Mitchell looked off against the Washington Wizards. Mitchell only chipped in with 16 points on just 4-of-10 from the field and 3-of-6 from 3-point range while dealing with foul trouble and fatigue most of the second half. During his two-game absence, […]

Head coach Steve Kerr didn’t hold back in explaining what went wrong for the Golden State Warriors in their 16-point first-half collapse against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Warriors got off to a great start against Nikola Jokic and co., with Klay Thompson exploding for a 16-point first quarter to give the Dubs a […]

Another day, another Nikola Jokic triple-double. At this point, it’s essentially like clockwork. What also seems like clockwork is Jokic’s knack for climbing the record books in multiple categories. On Sunday night, Jokic led the Denver Nuggets to a 119-103 win over the Golden State Warriors. Jokic notched his third straight triple-double with 32 points, 16 […]

Chris Paul is set to rejoin the Golden State Warriors after sitting out the last two months due to wrist injury, which means Steve Kerr will have to find a way to resolve the “numbers crunch” that comes with the point guard’s return. Interestingly, it looks like Kerr already has a pretty good idea on […]

Sunday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder was one that Houston Rockets players and fans would wish to forget. Leading by as much as 16 points during the second quarter, the Rockets faltered and allowed the opposition to claim a 123-110 victory in front of a dismayed Toyota Center. As the postgame discussions ensued, Rockets […]

Coming out of the All-Star break, things have been topsy-turvy for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Sure, that’s to be expected from any team after taking nearly a week off, especially when the Cavs opened up the second half of the season with five games in seven nights. But, it’s been hard for them to find balance, […]

On Saturday evening, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics picked up their eighth straight road win (and eighth straight win overall) with a road domination of the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The win extended Boston’s enormous lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for first place in the Eastern Conference, and Tatum showed great […]
