Scottie Pippen isn’t the biggest fan of “The Last Dance”. That’s not really a secret at this point. Michael Jordan’s Netflix masterpiece, which focused on the Chicago Bulls’ 1997-98 season, largely shined the spotlight on his larger-than-life phenomenon in the 80s and 90s as he rose to prominence in the NBA and the global stage.

If we’ve learned anything from last year’s airing of The Last Dance, it’s that Scottie Pippen was extremely underpaid.

The Oklahoma City Thunder franchise has enjoyed a good amount of success even after changing zip codes in 2008, which is when they changed from the Seattle SuperSonics.

For the longest time, the Boston Celtics’ eight straight championships have stood as the standard of excellence for professional basketball teams. And why not? Their “eight-peat” arguably remains the single-most impossible team record to break.

Kevin Durant and Lebron James have been at the top of the NBA for nearly a decade.

Now more than ever, the NBA has placed an increased emphasis on being able to play defense.

The trickiest part about naming the All-NBA Teams is choosing just 15 players—with positions in mind—from dozens of deserving superstars. Leaving out someone is as inevitable as a sunset.
