Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis has never suffered a truly devastating long-term injury in his NBA career.

On the floor, Game 5 was an utter disaster for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Shaq has no chill, man. That’s especially true whenever Charles Barkley is involved.

We all knew Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James wouldn’t get suspended for breaking the league’s health and safety protocols. After all, this is the King and frankly, the basketball world would have been in an absolute uproar if Adam Silver decided differently.

It’s no secret that getting a triple-double in the NBA is difficult, even though many players these days make it looks so easy.

The Washington Wizards star […]

Los Angeles Lakers great Shaquille O’Neal may love reminding Charles Barkley about his ring-less NBA career, but that is all for show and the two remain good friends despite the constant trolling.

It’s no secret that the Boston Celtics have not been the best team in the NBA this season. As a matter of fact, some might even say that despite all that they have achieved in the past few years, this team has still failed to live up to the lofty expectations many had/have on them. […]

Only two things are certain in life: 1. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal arguing and 2. Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal not not arguing.

[…]

Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki is a part of a rare group we don’t see much of in the NBA these days. He spent 21 years in the league, all as a member of the Mavs. Sticking with one organization used to be the norm, with stars like Dirk, Kobe Bryant, and Tim Duncan the […]

Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal are at it again. This time, they had differing positions regarding the Atlanta Hawks.

Hall of Famer Charles Barkley agrees that Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden is not on the same level as all-time greats like Michael Jordan and the late Kobe Bryant.
