He faced off against his childhood idol, James, who sealed the win with 27.4 seconds left. Although Joel Embiid got the green light to play against […]

LeBron James is 40 years old and still breaking arenas.

The NBA summed it up perfectly on X, “LONG 2. TRIPLE. TRIPLE. LONG […]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have walked away with a 99-98 victory over the Golden State Warriors, but if you ask Tyrese Maxey, he wasn’t the one who saved the game; rookie VJ Edgecombe did.

Tyrese Maxey has built his reputation in the NBA as one of the league’s most electric offensive guards, a scorer with All-Star polish and growing All-NBA credentials.
