Steve Kerr is a class act. During NBA Finals media availability ahead of Game 3 on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors head honcho credited his predecessor, Mark Jackson, with turning this squad into a defensive juggernaut. Here’s what he said, via RealGM: “I didn’t. I didn’t. Mark Jackson did,” said Kerr when asked the question [...]

Robert Horry has had the opportunity to play with many all time great teams and players in his career, serving as a valuable and clutch role player for seven NBA championship teams. He has had his high moments, the game winning shot in Game 4 of the 2001 western conference finals, his big shot in [...]

For those of you who were dreaming of getting a sneak peek (finally) of the 76ers brittle but potentially elite duo of Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid on the hardwood in the 2017 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, like many things when it comes to the 76ers, you’ll have to wait and trust 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 [...]

After Paul George failed to make an All-NBA team, it seems like only a matter of time before he leaves the Indiana Pacers. They don’t have the ability to offer him a designated player extension, they aren’t built to contend for anything special, he owns a player option for 2018-19, and his interest in the [...]

Draymond Green has some bad news for the Cleveland Cavaliers: Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant are in the zone—a different kind of zone, mind you; one unlike any other Green has ever seen from them. As Green said after Game 2 of the NBA Finals, per USA Today‘s Sam Amick: “I see two guys who … [...]
