When all is said and done in his career, James Harden will go down as one of the greatest players of his generation. Not too long ago, when he was with the Houston Rockets, no player in the league could stop Harden on the offensive end of the floor, as he led the league in […]

Although most of the attention in the Western Conference has been given to the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, the Los Angeles Clippers could have as much of a chance as any team to reach the NBA Finals in 2024. This would seem to be particularly true if they were actually able […]

Fans of specific basketball teams often say they want Player X locked in a gym to work on Skill Y ahead of a season. It doesn’t take a long surf on the web to see that phrase in use. It will never happen in reality — breaking news, I know — but what if players […]

Recent years have not been kind to the Philadelphia 76ers, as despite having great regular-season teams, they’ve come up short in the playoffs time and time again.

Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey could be living on the edge. On the one hand, he could have an abundance of cap space to use next offseason if James Harden is traded sometime soon. However, the longtime executive might not be the one spending it if the Sixers fall short again in […]

James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers remain at sort of an impasse.

They defeated Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia […]

From the start of the 2017-18 season through the 2019-20 season, James Harden was arguably the most unstoppable player in the entire NBA.
