For most of the Phoenix Suns’ stellar season, it was Chris Paul and Devin Booker who heaped praise from fans and analysts. But in the first two games of the playoffs, Deandre Ayton is finally getting some love. Frankly, his play should’ve been noticed way earlier. His averages might have gone down in his third […]

The Miami Heat have only been around since the 1988-89 campaign, but they already have a rather rich history in the NBA. Obviously, the Heat aren’t at the level of cornerstone franchises like the Boston Celtics or Los Angeles Lakers, but the fact that they have already won three championships in spite of being a […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are on the verge of self-destruction. If Kawhi Leonard and his men don’t right the ship in Game 3, things could get ugly real fast. Luka Doncic has proven to be a potentially all-time great talent and has led his Dallas Mavericks to a 2-0 series lead. If he can complete […]

Luka Doncic has been phenomenal through his first two games against the Los Angeles Clippers.  But the Dallas Mavericks star’s early playoff showings haven’t just been impressive, they’re arguably the best in NBA history. The Mavs star is averaging 35.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists through their first two victories against the Clippers. But […]

LeBron James is no stranger to dishing some tough love. The Los Angeles Lakers star was seen all up in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s ear during the last two minutes against the Phoenix Suns.

LeBron James made the decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2018 offseason. Of course, this was met with a fair amount of criticism, as he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for a second time. Despite this fact, the former No. 1 overall pick won an NBA title in his second year in […]

Right now, the Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving is the most feared trio in all of the NBA. As it turns out, however, KD could have actually formed a Big 3 with the Nets many years ago. Apparently, when the Nets traded for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett […]

Considering the stakes and the performance of his counterpart, Anthony Davis may have had his worst game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers in his team’s Game 1 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.
