De’Angelo Russell to Miss Multiple Games With Knee Injury

De’Angelo Russell to Miss Multiple Games With Knee Injury

The Brooklyn Nets finally look to be trending upward after dealing with the repercussions of one of the worst trades in NBA history over the past few seasons. One of the biggest reasons is the fact that they were able to utilize their cap space to take on the contract of Timofey Mozgov (taking advantage [...]

Lonzo Ball Becomes Youngest Player to Record Triple-Double

Lonzo Ball Becomes Youngest Player to Record Triple-Double

There have been mixed reviews on the Lonzo Ball experiment thus far in Tinseltown, but one thing that is very apparent though is that Ball is a special talent at passing the basketball and utilizes his height and instincts to already be one of the best rebounding point guards in the NBA. He used those [...]

Things aren’t going to well for the Utah Jazz thus far this season. The Jazz have lost four of their past five games as they have struggled mightily on the offensive end, and now they will be without their best player and the best defensive player in the NBA for at least a month. Rudy [...]

Will Ferrell Tells LeBron James to Run for President

Ferrell apparently is a big fan of LeBron James on and off the court and told Seth Meyers on his show, Late Night With Seth Meyers that he ran into James during the 2017 postseason and [...]

Kidd: Lonzo Ball Comparisons to Me “A Stretch”

Ever since Lonzo Ball came on to the scene as a highly-touted basketball recruit (and LaVar entered our lives) his combination of size and special play-making ability has led to a number of comparisons to hall of fame point guard and current Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach Jason Kidd. Ball has looked the part as a [...]

76ers to Re-Negotiate Covington’s Contract for This Season

76ers to Re-Negotiate Covington’s Contract for This Season

One benefit of being around the cap floor in the NBA is you have the flexibility and rare ability to re-negotiate a player’s salary for the current season. This appears to be the case with the 76ers and Robert Covington. Covington signed a four-year, $50 million extension with the 76ers this off-season that was set [...]

Vince Carter Wants Raptors to Retire Jersey

Vince Carter Wants Raptors to Retire Jersey

In the early 2000s Post-Jordan era of the NBA (a dark period for the NBA in retrospect) there were few more electrifying players or exciting synonymous images of period than Vince Carter in a Raptors jersey. Vinsanity helped establish NBA basketball north of the U.S. border and averaged 23-5-4 in seven seasons as a Raptor, [...]

Porzingis May Need Offseason Elbow Surgery

Porzingis May Need Offseason Elbow Surgery

Kristaps Porzingis has been a revelation this season after the Knicks have finally been released from the shackles of the Carmelo Anthony era of Knicks basketball. The Knicks are looking pretty pesky at 6-5 thus far this season and Porzingis is averaging 30 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 10 games. I feel really [...]

Ben Simmons, Aaron Gordon Will Be All-Stars This Season

We are currently experiencing somewhat of a changing of the guard in the NBA and in the eastern conference especially. While there are still the established superstars performing at a high level as per usual, many of the players leading the league in many categories are young stars on the cusp of entering their prime [...]

Markelle Fultz is Working Out for the 76ers and Shooting Left-Handed…

The Markelle Fultz situation in Philadelphia is one of the most bizarre things I have seen in the NBA. The No. 1 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, who was known for his sweet shooting stroke in college and his ability to score from anywhere on the court, apparently decided to completely change his jump [...]
