The Los Angeles Lakers relied on “championship DNA”, crunch-time execution, and increased assertiveness and focus — namely from their two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis — to take back home-court advantage from the Phoenix Suns and even their first-round series at 1-1. "It's about championship DNA and we got that." @KingJames talks with @LakersReporter […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was his usual unstoppable self in Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns, but he found a surprising NBA nemesis on the clutch in second-year man Cam Johnson. In the closing seconds of the third quarter, LeBron showed off his unguardable fadeaway to bring the Lakers’ lead back to double digits. […]

Is six games a small sample size? Yes, it is. With that said, the Phoenix Suns look like a well-oiled machine. Head coach Monty Williams’ squad has won five of its first six games this season. Three of those wins have come against teams that participated in the Western Conference playoffs last season (Dallas Mavericks, […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving unsurprisingly leads the league as statistically the best pairing in the NBA early in the season. What comes as a bit of a shocker, however, is that the Phoenix Suns boast the second-best on-court partnership right now — and no, it doesn’t include Devin […]

After being the butt of many a joke over the years, the Phoenix Suns franchise has looked surprisingly solid through the first few games of the 2019-20 regular season. However, their momentum could be put into a halt after Ricky Rubio suffered a knee injury against the Denver Nuggets in their second game of the […]

One of the most memorable moments of this year’s edition of the draft was when Chicago Bulls rookie Coby White, in the middle of a press conference, learned about former University of North Carolina teammate Cameron Johnson being drafted. Upon hearing that Johnson had been drafted 11th overall, just four spots after White himself was […]

North Carolina standout Cameron Johnson was selected with the 11th overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, much to the surprise of many who had him initially slated as a potential high-end second rounder, one that had crept to the high 20s of the first round after recent workouts. His UNC […]

The Phoenix Suns have had a tough offseason, at least according to rival executives around the league. They were highly scrutinized for trading De’Anthony Melton in a move that would essentially be a salary dump for Ricky Rubio, and many teams were puzzled by their decision to trade a future first-round pick merely to acquire […]

The Phoenix Suns made real waves in the 2019 NBA Draft when they selected North Carolina swingman Cam Johnson with the No. 11 pick. Johnson had been a potential first-round pick, but few mock drafts had him off the board before the end of the lottery. While Johnson may not have been regarded as one […]

When the Phoenix Suns took North Carolina sharpshooter Cameron Johnson with the 11th overall pick in this past week’s NBA Draft, many were shocked, including former Tar Heels teammate Coby White. Johnson, 23 years old, was pinned by some scouts as a late first-round talent, but many draft boards had him going early in the second […]

New Chicago Bulls rookie point guard Coby White had a fantastic on-camera reaction to North Carolina teammate Cameron Johnson getting selected by the Phoenix Suns with the No. 11 pick. The world stopped for a moment for White after he was selected with the seventh pick, and he couldn’t believe Johnson was picked so soon […]

The Golden State Warriors are fresh out of making a deal for the 41st pick with the Atlanta Hawks, as general manager Bob Myers used his connection with his former understudy Travis Schlenk to make the deal. Yet the real NBA Draft gem the title runners-up are aiming at is North Carolina’s Cameron Johnson, arguably […]

University of North Carolina guard Cameron Johnson is reportedly a primary target for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Sixers have the 24th overall pick in Thursday’s draft. After holding private workout, Sixers have made UNC G/SF Cameron Johnson one of their primary targets draft night, per source. — Jon Johnson (@jonjohnsonwip) […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder had a solid 2018-19 NBA season, even though it ended in a first-round playoff loss to the Portland Trailblazers. The loss exposed some of the Thunder’s weaknesses; a top-heavy roster that lacks three-point shooting ability and needs scoring help. To address this problem, the team should seriously consider drafting Cameron Johnson […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have two of the best players in the NBA: Paul George and Russell Westbrook. They have a legitimate All-Star candidate in the middle, with Steven Adams locking down the paint. Yet in the past three seasons, all they have to show for their talent is three straight first-round playoff exits. The […]

It’s been about a week now since the NBA Draft Lottery and the anticipation for the draft hasn’t squandered. There are many varying viewpoints on the 2019 NBA Draft prospects. Some view it as a draft where after the top three picks there is a drop-off in talent. Others see it as Zion Williamson is […]
