UCLA’s Lonzo Ball may very well end up being the first overall pick in this summer’s NBA draft, but his father, LaVar, is stealing all of the headlines. Within the last few weeks, LaVar has proclaimed that Lonzo is better than 2-time reigning MVP Steph Curry, and that LaVar himself could’ve beat Michael Jordan in [...]

Ever since Kevin Durant went down with a sprained MCL on February 28 (thanks a lot Marcin Gortat) the Warriors have experienced something they haven’t in a long time save for the final three games of the 2016 NBA Finals (sorry couldn’t help myself), a stretch of losing basketball. They have gone 2-4 in their [...]

Ever since entering the league, Kyrie Irving has been regarded as one of the best ball handlers. And in recent years, many say he’s the best in that category, along with Steph Curry. Steph is no doubt crafty with the ball, but his handling is not quite of the same caliber of Kyrie. Both Paul [...]

UCLA point guard and super freshman or “Diaper Dandy” as Dick Vitale has referred to them for years, Lonzo Ball is, by any measure, one of the top three prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft.

After dealing Andrew Bogut to the Mavericks to clear space, the Warriors were in need of a veteran center and [...]

There has been a trend in recent seasons of the NBA for the most outstanding performers in their role to be voted on and chosen by their peers. In recent years the NBA Executive of the Year has been voted on and decided by NBA executives and the players have staged their own awards show [...]

The current proliferation of many of the NBA’s biggest superstars in a few markets, LeBron, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in Cleveland, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in Golden State, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in Los Angeles, is bittersweet for the league and for your average NBA fan. On one [...]

When Jimmy Butler capped off another quality performance with 52 points in the Bulls 118-111 comeback victory over the Charlotte Hornets Monday night in Chicago, Butler became the 8th player in the 2016-17 season to have a 50 point game. Feel free to read that sentence again. With Butler joining Russell Westbrook, James Harden, DeMarcus [...]

The Golden State Warriors have too much offense for the rest of the NBA to handle and blasted yet another professional team off the court on Monday. There were a few things about this game that made it particularly memorable though, one was the circus-like, Harlem Globe Trotter-esque, eye-popping alley-oop from Curry to Durant on [...]

The NBA and the NBPA are apparently on the verge of hashing out a new collective bargaining agreement, which, for those of us who hate lockouts, is very good. This new CBA, however, might include an “Andre Drummond Rule,” which seems needless, bordering on bad. Here’s the lowdown courtesy of The Vertical’s Bobby Marks (h/t [...]
