November 22, 2013. Do you happen to remember what you were doing on that day? It was the last Friday before Thanksgiving that year and it was the last time the Philadelphia 76ers have won a basketball game in the month of October or November. They defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-107 in overtime at home, [...]

The sports world was treated to a historic night as the Chicago Cubs came back from being down 3-1 to win their first world series in 108 years. The love-able losers finally ended the longest championship drought for a professional sports franchise and reached the pinnacle of their sport. Many of the participants in the [...]

Last night quickly turned into a very frustrating night for the ever ornery DeMarcus Cousins as his Kings lost a hard fought game 108-96 in overtime in Miami. Cousins entered the 4th quarter with the Kings facing a six point deficit and zero fouls. Let me repeat that, Cousins fouled out of a game in [...]

It appears the slightly new look Thunder minus Kevin Durant are here to stay. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical the Thunder have finalized extensions with Center Steven Adams and Shooting Guard Victor Oladipo. First they agreed to a four-year, $84 million extension with talented two-way guard Victor Oladipo. Oladipo pairs with Westbrook to [...]

The moment that Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors (and sell his soul to the devil, just kidding, maybe…) was the moment that everyone not only wondered just how dangerous and frightening the Warriors would, but also that “Russell Westbrook was about to put up mind-numbing numbers this season.” Westbrook is [...]

Dwyane Wade made his debut playing for his hometown team, making a dream come true Thursday night against the Boston Celtics in the United Center. He proved that he still has something left in the tank as a 34-year-old with quite a few miles on his odometer, leading the Bulls to a 105-99 victory with [...]

The first full night of NBA action of the 2016-17 season, which saw 20 teams in action, featured some crazy stat lines. The most incredible performance of the night came in a loss as Anthony Davis scored a ridiculous 50 points to go along with 16 rebounds, seven steals, five assists and four blocks. Davis’ [...]

One of the observations fans might have as they devour a full slate of NBA action (and hopefully are able to take advantage of free league pass) is the fact that there are a great deal of international players littered across NBA rosters. There are 113 internationally born players on NBA rosters at the moment, [...]

Ah yes, the NBA was officially back last night and we were treated to the King picking up right where he left off last season with a triple-double and a dominating victory over the Knicks. Damian Lillard and Joe Johnson had an “anything you can do I can do better” battle, and the Spurs absolutely [...]

It is a sad day in the NBA. Two months ago, after seeing the joy of watching former No. 6 pick Yi Jianlian play against NBA talent for the first time in years at the 2016 Rio Olypmics, the Lakers signed Yi to a one-year contract, but have now released him. After a rough pre-season [...]
