LaVar Ball isn’t viewed as a very likable guy to many in the basketball world. The classic stage dad (or court dad in this case I suppose) that tries to feed off of the fame of his sons and capitalize on it for his own benfit and fame, even at the detriment to his sons. [...]

As you now know, the man, the myth, the legend, LaVar Ball, has decided to pull his two younger sons out of UCLA and Chino Hills High School in Los Angeles in order to have them sign a professional contract overseas. Somewhat surprisingly, he was successful as both LiAngelo and LaMelo signed a contract with [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers? In the NBA Finals? Against the Golden State Warriors? In a winner-take-all Game 7? Joel Embiid will take it. Actually, strike that: He’s already predicted it. ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne released an interesting profile on the Sixers’ big man, and while the entire piece is worth your time, a sentiment near the beginning [...]

It appears the New Orleans Pelicans have been hit with the injury bug once again. This time with the Grindfather and the gritty, tough defensive extraordinaire Tony Allen. Allen will miss the next three to four weeks with a fibula fracture. Allen joins Solomon Hill, Alexis Ajinca and Anthony Davis (for the moment) on the [...]

Victor Oladipo would like for us to maybe, quite possibly, if we could, stop talking about the winners and losers of the trade that sent him from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Paul George. Speaking candidly, there’s about zero chance of that happening—especially now. Oladipo and and George are [...]

Manu Ginobili has a message for anyone who’s confused and surprised that Kawhi Leonard missed the San Antonio Spurs’ first 27 games. That message? Me too.

The losses just keep on coming for the Los Angeles Clippers. That is, the personnel losses. The Clippers actually won a game on Monday, taking down the streaking Toronto Raptors in what represented Milos Teodosic’s first dose of NBA action in almost two months following a bout fasciitis.
