Chris Paul

The Los Angeles Clippers are fighting for playoff position in the tremendous Western Conference, relying on the three-headed monster of point guard Chris Paul, power forward Blake Griffin and center DeAndre Jordan to lead the way. However, the NBA’s second-most prolific scoring unit can only engineer a postseason run if its perimeter specialist remains on [...]

The New York Knicks are New York Knicks-ing. There isn’t much left for the NBA’s worst team to play for other than losses these days. Carmelo Anthony is done for the year and they’re short on young talent to evaluate, so losing is in their best interest, since it greatly increases their chances of winning [...]

After taking care of the Los Angeles Clippers, 90-87, last Monday night, the Memphis Grizzlies had quietly recorded the 3rd best record in the NBA this season at 42-16 (72.4%), just behind the 47-12 Atlanta Hawks and the 45-11 Golden State Warriors. In that hotly contested game, Chris Paul powered the Clippers on both ends [...]

In 2013, DeAndre Jordan talked about his need improve and added, “I know that defensively it starts with me down there.” At the time, Jordan averaged 1.4 blocks per game and 0.6 steals.

Take a look at what the premiere Jordan players will be wearing on their feet on December 25th. With colorways heavily inspired by the ‘Cardinal’ Air Jordan VII (7), [...]

NBA owners ’round the Association: Duck! Michele Roberts, the NBA Players Association’s Director, has her guns out…and she’s firing away. Since making history in July by becoming the first female union chief in major North American sports history, Roberts has been making waves. She’s been speaking out in favor of players and against a salary [...]

Blame for the Los Angeles Lakers’ devolution from title-toting titan to fallen giant is available in excess, ready to be dispersed unto anyone and everyone responsible for the trying—and perhaps lasting—times that lie ahead. This includes Kobe Bryant. But not only Kobe Bryant. Rushes to diagnose the Lakers’ uncharacteristic landslide have, quite predictably, oversimplified and [...]

Sneaker release date be damned is one of the things I took away from Chris Paul’s recent performance in a Seattle AM game on Saturday, August 23rd. Aside from recording a triple-double in effortless style, CP3 (unknowingly or not) debuted his new signature sneaker before Jordan Brand even announces it. After having the best performance [...]
