Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens knows a thing or two about All-Star players. During his time with the Celtics, Stevens has coached All-Star players such as Isaiah Thomas and Al Horford.

To be clear, I don’t think that Karl-Anthony Towns is currently being shopped and it should be no surprise to anyone that he is being reported as “unhappy” with the Minnesota Timberwolves after recently losing 11 straight games and likely playoff hopes along with it. That being said, Towns could reach a point where he […]

A lot of men view a crisp hairline as an important part of their image, and Boston Celtics guard Jayson Tatum believes he has the best one in the NBA.

Walker has acted as the antithesis of Kyrie Irving […]

Unlike last season, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics aren’t the center of attention this year and the swingman is perfectly fine with that.

With the 2010’s set to end in just a few days, we enter a new decade of basketball. Players like LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook dominated the 2010’s, but who will lead the next generation?

Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum says Kyrie Irving gets too much undeserved blame for what happened last season.

LOS ANGELES – Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum put up one of most the impressive lines of the night with 30 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks on 12-of-24 shooting from the field and 5-of-10 from beyond the arc.

The 2019-20 Charlotte Hornets have been surprisingly feisty to start the season, but they have a far different feel from teams of years past – mostly due to the fact that longtime point guard Kemba Walker is no longer on the team.
