Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are two games away from exacting revenge on the Cleveland Cavaliers for their NBA Finals comeback in 2016. One would assume this is how everyone in the Bay Area scripted the season: The Warriors reach the NBA Finals, face the Cavaliers and beat them. Those feelings no doubt [...]

This feels like a ridiculous, borderline disrespectful, question to ask. The Cleveland Cavaliers are reigning NBA champions. They have a firm hold on the Eastern Conference. Losing to the Golden State Warriors doesn’t change what they’ve done, or diminish their presence on the championship field. Counterpoint: LeBron James. No, this isn’t another “LeBron is the [...]

Jimmy Butler and the Chicago Bulls are finally on the same page. And that page doesn’t include an imminent divorce. A source told the Chicago Sun-Times‘ Joe Cowley that Butler met with Bulls brass and came away understanding the team’s direction: According to a team source, Butler met Monday with vice president of basketball operations John [...]

As has become tradition in the city of brotherly love, the NBA world has to have extra patience when waiting for the next big prospect to make his debut in a 76ers uniform as they usually make their actual on court debut in year two (or year three), which is the case with No. 1 [...]

This is even heightened, it seems, when it comes to competition, especially in the sports realm. You can talk to old timers that were former greats in any professional sport [...]

Steve Kerr returned to the Golden State Warriors sidelines for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and now that he’s back, he has no intention of going anywhere. Per the Bay Area News Group’s Anthony Slater: This was always Kerr’s plan. He didn’t want to be a distraction, returning only to leave yet again. The [...]

Lonzo Ball landing with the Los Angeles Lakers is starting to feel like less and less of a formality. The latest, in fact, is fairly damning.
