Below we’ve rounded out some of the most memorable final game performances of some former NBA players with legendary status. […]

Before 2015, it could be said that not a whole lot of people knew what a banana boat was. But once LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul popularized it, it became something of a cultural phenomenon. Well, in a funny, stupid kind of way. It all began five years ago when James, Wade, Paul […]

Houston Rockets superstars James Harden and Russell Westbrook both used the NBA hiatus to work on their bodies, and NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade believes that spells trouble for the other 21 teams in Orlando, Florida. “Skinny James Harden” took NBA Twitter by storm.

NBA icon Dwayne Wade isn’t necessarily known for his tattoos. It’s simply because he only got his first tattoo right before his final season in the NBA.

LeBron James is now currently a Los Angeles Laker. Try explaining that to someone from ten years ago.

Apparently, the time off from the game has them reminiscing their glory […]

The what-ifs of the NBA are definitely the most intriguing to talk about. After all, one simple trade can decide the fate of a team whether it heads to the lottery or to the Finals. In this case, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh may not have ended up in Miami if things played […]

At one point in the summer of 2010, there existed a real—if unlikely—possibility that the Chicago Bulls would field a starting lineup of Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Joakim Noah for the 2010-11 season and beyond. Unfortunately for Bulls fans, that scenario never came together, as the three stars opted to […]

The Big 3 didn’t come together on the Miami Heat without making a few sacrifices.

Throughout their history, the Chicago Bulls haven’t been the type of team that has had tremendous success in the trade market.

Be that as it […]

11-time All-Star Chris Bosh is launching an email newsletter, The Last Chip, that will tell the story of the Miami Heat’s 2012-13 championship campaign, and he offered a preview of his new project in a wide-ranging interview with TrueHoop on Thursday—revealing some insight into how the “Heatles” joined forces.

Everyone remembers the shot. Ray Allen slowly slinks into the corner, rises up, and drains a championship-altering three-point shot.

LeBron James’ philanthropic efforts off the court are, at the very least, just as impressive and important as his accomplishments on the hardwood.

Boston Celtics legend and ESPN analyst Paul Pierce ruffled some weathers on Wednesday when he said that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not a top-five player of all time.

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade grew up in Chicago watching Michael Jordan play the shooting guard position better than anybody else in history.

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade was one of the best shot blockers at his position during his time in the NBA. With that said, however, he wasn’t able to escape some embarrassing posters in his career.

Many consider the Miami Heat’s Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh as perhaps the greatest trio ever assembled in the modern era.

Dwyane Wade, who retired from the NBA last summer after an illustrious 16-year career, pretty much won it all during his time in the league.

Much like Hall of Fame shooting guard Michael Jordan, retired Dallas Mavericks legendary power forward Dirk Nowitzki was motivated by perceived slights.
