If there’s one thing Draymond Green knows, it’s trash-talking. He’s one of the best at it in the Association. But, the Golden State Warriors veteran isn’t the only one who likes to talk smack to his opponents. Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Anthony Edwards is always yapping on the court, which almost fits perfectly into the character […]

All season long, Domantas Sabonis has been a force for the Sacramento Kings. Although he was robbed of the opportunity to make his fourth All-Star appearance, Sabonis has been one of the best centers in the entire league, currently leading all players in double-doubles (50) and triple-doubles (18). Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment so far […]

Prior to the All-Star break, the New York Knicks were left very shorthanded due to a variety of injuries.

The Indiana Pacers, at the trade deadline, settled for a few minor moves after they had already pushed their chips in the form of their blockbuster Pascal Siakam acquisition.

The San Antonio Spurs’ only move at the NBA trade line was their biggest mistake. And not by default.

But for Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’s put […]

[…]

The idea most NBA fans have about championship-winning superstars like LeBron James or Kevin Durant is that they are restlessly training. Whether it is through working on their mechanics on the court or furthering their understanding of plays, those are the types of athletes that rise to stardom. Apparently, this was not the case for […]

There’s no denying that scoring is up across the NBA in recent years. An emphasis on the 3-pointer, limiting defenders’ ability to hand-check, and increased pace have all pushed NBA scoring into the stratosphere.
