The two […]

Steve Kerr benched Joel Embiid for Team USA’s 103-86 victory over South Sudan on Wednesday, leaving Stephen Curry and LeBron James as the only players to start every game on the Americans’ path for Olympic gold.

When the 2023-24 NBA season concluded and the Brooklyn Nets finished with a 32-50 record, their worst record since the 2017-18 season, it became evident that general manager Sean Marks and his front office were going to be making some major roster changes. The experiment with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden never turned […]

When Jayson Tatum was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, he knew his life would change forever. And not even from a basketball standpoint, but from a financial planning perspective. Enter SoFi. Tatum, who had his son Deuce three months into his rookie year in the […]

The San Antonio Spurs have had a good offseason. Regarding NBA Free Agency, they’ve only added one player via an actual free agent signing of a player that wasn’t already on their roster. Generally speaking, though, trades and re-signings are commonly lumped in during the free agency period, which is often synonymous with the offseason. […]

Coming into the 2024 WNBA season, the Los Angeles Sparks had five new faces on the roster, six including Stephanie Talbot who was not with the team last year as she recovered from an ACL injury. One of those new faces for the Sparks is Aari McDonald who was entering her fourth season in the […]

As generational a talent as Victor Wembanyama may be, the San Antonio Spurs have been here before. Kind of. Wemby followed David Robinson and Tim Duncan as iconic top overall picks in the franchise’s history. They’re now following suit in a different way with moves meant to surround their young cornerstone with veteran help. In […]

It is never easy to make a trade in the NBA. Between all the financial restrictions impacting trades and the new tax aprons that limit certain teams’ abilities to execute deals, we have seen fewer trades made over the last year. While it seems inevitable that the Chicago Bulls will look to move on from […]

When Devonte’ Graham joined the San Antonio Spurs in 2023, the team had 27 games left. Graham played in 20 of them.

The Michigan football team lost a lot of talent from last year’s squad, but two important returning players are Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. Both Graham and Grant were beasts along the defensive line last year, and with them back, the Wolverines should once again have one of the best D-lines in the country this […]

Donovan Edwards is set to be the starting running back for the Michigan football team this season. Edwards has made so many big plays throughout his career, but he has only been in a starting role for three games in 2022 when Blake Corum was injured. Now, Edwards is one of the faces of not […]

Flashing the skills that led to his being taken fourth overall in last month’s draft, San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle impressed during NBA Summer League play. That is, when the former UConn Husky suited up. Castle played in only three games during the competitions in July. That would rank as the biggest issue right […]

CAMDEN, N.J. — The familiar faces Reggie Jackson sees as he joins the Philadelphia 76ers will make it much easier to acclimate to the fifth squad and 14th season in the NBA. While perhaps not an explicit goal of the front office, and perhaps something unavoidable when targeting NBA veterans, Jackson is yet another bench […]

The Chicago Sky have leaned on several players as sources of offense during the first half of the 2024 WNBA season. However, one contributor has separated herself from the pack. Former Atlanta Dream lottery pick and first-year Sky guard Chennedy Carter displayed strong scoring efforts during the season’s first half. But did her play earn […]

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is finally a champion, but in the eyes of future Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony, his winning ways aren’t enough to crown him as the next face of the league. The 10-time All-Star argued that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is the frontrunner for that title, via the 7PM in […]

The San Antonio Spurs have officially signed the 48th overall pick of the NBA Draft, Harrison Ingram.

It may not be crazy to think that the New York Knicks made some of the best decisions of any NBA franchise this offseason. Aside from the moves that they made in free agency, the Knicks have put themselves in a position to compete for a spot in the NBA Finals during the 2024-25 season […]

The journey that the Los Angeles Lakers have been on over the last handful of seasons has been interesting, to say the least. In 2020, when the pandemic shut down the world and the NBA resumed play at the World Wide Sports Complex on Disney’s campus in Florida, it was LeBron James and the Lakers […]

With a classy performance in Paris, Scottie Scheffler can add a gold medal to his increasingly crowded home trophy room.

The Michigan football team added to their 2025 recruiting class on Sunday night as four-star cornerback Brody Jennings announced that he will play for the Wolverines.

The Chicago Bulls had a quiet 2024 NBA Draft as they had just one pick. It was the 11th overall pick in the draft, and the Bulls signed Matas Buzelis from G League Ignite. Going into the draft, Buzelis was the guy that the Bulls wanted, but it was looking like Chicago might have to […]

Jhonattan Vegas (-13) ended a seven-year PGA Tour title drought, winning the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities by a stroke over a scorching Max Greyserman.

With the Olympics on deck, Jon Rahm secured his first individual trophy as a member of the LIV Golf League on Sunday, after his Legion XIII teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, three-putted the 18th hole at JCB Golf & Country Club in the UK. “It’s just emotional,” a teary Rahm said afterward. “It hasn’t been the easiest […]

Though not shock waves, the San Antonio Spurs have made a couple of splashes during NBA Free Agency. It started with the addition of future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul and then continued with solid veteran Harrison Barnes in a three-way trade that enabled DeMar DeRozan to land with the Sacramento Kings. While they’re still reported to […]

Caitlin Clark’s spree of WNBA milestones in her rookie season with the Indiana Fever has been put on pause as of late. Frankly, they’ve been put on mute since the All-Star Game on July 20 in Phoenix. The Fever haven’t held any practices since, and WNBA games will resume in mid-August.  With downtime for much […]

CAMDEN, N.J. — The Philadelphia 76ers roster Nick Nurse has at his disposal in his second season as head coach has, to put it lightly, gone through some changes this offseason. They’re changes he is very much excited about. Paul George highlights the notable upgrades the Sixers made in free agency and in the draft. […]

Veteran NBA reporter Zach Lowe recently grabbed headlines by stating he thought Tim Duncan ranked ahead of the late Kobe Bryant among the NBA’s best ever players. It’s a statement with which some, if not many, disagree. An often overlooked reality, though, suggest that the San Antonio Spurs Hall-of-Famer should get the nod over the […]

There has been a lot of chatter about Donovan Edwards now being the face of the Michigan football team. He will be the starting running back this year, and he is on the cover of the new EA Sports College Football 2025 game. Edwards is coming off of a huge performance in the national championship […]

The Michigan football team is going to look very different this year, especially on offense. The Wolverines lost 10 out of 11 starters from last year on that side of the ball.

A new era has begun for the Golden State Warriors. It may seem like just yesterday, but the future Hall of Fame trio of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson won their first title together a decade ago.

Donovan Edwards has been with the Michigan football team since 2021, and he has been in a backup role for his entire career. Edwards handled the majority of the load at the end of the 2022 season when Blake Corum was injured, but other than that, he has patiently waited for his turn to be […]
