However, the team is extremely […]

Bronny James’ first college season with USC basketball is slowly coming to a close, and needless to say, it’s been underwhelming.

That raises the question, will Bronny actually declare for the 2024 NBA Draft? […]

When it comes to Miami Heat star Nikola Jovic, it has been a tumultuous 2023-24 season to say the least as the team is about to play their first game off the All-Star break Friday. The 20-year old player still has a hopeful long career ahead of him as the Heat are keeping a slow […]

Former NBA shooter JJ Redick did not hold back when he called out Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers for lack of accountability during Tuesday’s First Take episode.

Kevin Durant is a lot of things. For many of his detractors, being a leader is not one of them. The Phoenix Suns star is generally not considered to be a good leader of a championship team. We’ve all heard of the “bus rider, not bus driver” analogy often thrown at KD. He’s a great […]

For all of the talk as to how the NBA could improve the competitiveness of the All-Star Game after the game became nearly unwatchable in 2023, the 2024 iteration of the historic game proved to be an even more dire showcase of basketball, at least from the perspective of fans. But for Boston Celtics legend […]
