This has got to be one of the greatest NBA seasons I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. From the off-season trades that brought together the powerhouse “Big Three” in Boston, to the perennial powerhouse Pistons showcasing Deeee-troit Basketball once again, to the emergence of the LA Lakers and New Orleans Hornets as the shocking [...]

Superman, The Diesel, The Big Aristotle, Shaq Daddy, M.D.E. (Most Dominant Ever), Wilt Chamberneazy, The Big Deporter, Shaq-Fu, and most recently his self-imposed nickname – “The Big Cactus”.

Sorry, Donovan Mitchell. Ben Simmons doesn’t think you have a legitimate chance of winning Rookie of the Year. Nor does he seem impressed by you at all. Consider what the Philadelphia 76ers newbie told ESPN.com’s Chris Haynes: “Who would I pick? Me, 100 percent,” Simmons told ESPN at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Philadelphia on Saturday. [...]

Fans in Phoenix can breath a sigh of relief. Their pride and joy, 21-year-old shooting guard Devin Booker will only miss a few weeks and does not have any damage to the strained abductor injury that he suffered late in the 4th quarter of the Suns 126-113 loss in Toronto on Tuesday night. Here is [...]

Growing up being the smallest guy on the court your whole life, playing with an extra chip on your shoulder to prove all of your doubters wrong and to dominate your enemies (on a basketball court) becomes ingrained into your DNA. Isaiah Thomas has been doubted, overlooked and underappreciated seemingly his whole NBA career after [...]

Gary Harris is about to get paid. For real this time. The fourth-year combo guard/safety-net 3 is eligible to sign an extension before the start of the regular season, at which time, if he hasn’t inked one, he’ll gear up for restricted free agency next summer.
