Prior to Friday night’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, there were rumors that rookie center Joel Embiid might have to defend point guard Isaiah Thomas when caught on a switch.

During the 1990’s, Allen Iverson was revered as one of the best players not only in the NBA, but in the world. His skill set was so profound that he was able to score at will and was a game-changer night in and night out. What’s more impressive is that he is not the tallest […]

Phil Jackson’s triangle offense is legendary. But it doesn’t work everywhere. Jackson won 11 NBA championships with the Bulls and Lakers thanks largely to his revolutionary offense.
