While everyone expects Duke freshman sensation Zion Williamson to declare for June’s NBA draft, he is not yet ready to make it official. “I mean, it’s obviously a high chance that I’m obviously going to enter the draft,” Williamson said after Duke’s loss to Michigan State on Sunday. “I’m not going to make it official [...]

Freshman sensation and top NBA draft prospect, Zion Williamson, suffered a knee sprain after his Nike shoe blew out during the opening minute of top-ranked Duke’s showdown with No. 8 North Carolina on Wednesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C.

Every so often a college basketball program comes along that’s good enough to convince people they could beat an NBA team. This year’s Duke squad is now that program—or so says Paul Pierce. Speaking on ESPN’s NBA Countdown, the Boston Celtics legend says he thinks this season’s Blue Devils could beat the 2018-19 Cleveland Cavaliers, [...]

Mike Krzyzewski was not at all surprised when Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers over the summer, and he’s most definitely not surprised to see the point guard thriving with the Boston Celtics.

Hopefully Jahlil Okafor is high on the Minnesota Timberwolves, because they’re high on him. As the NBA inches closer and closer to the June 25 draft, there is no definitive sense of who the Timberwolves will take with the No. 1 pick. Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns has gained momentum as the top prospect in this year’s [...]

This new Kyrie 1 colorway is a nod to what school Kyrie Irving was at when he was 18. Nicknamed the ‘Brotherhood’ colorway of the Nike Kyrie 1, the color pallet used on this sneaker are the exact shades used on the uniforms for Duke University; a Swoosh-sponsored school. While at Duke, Kyrie Irving averaged [...]

Excuse Jabari Parker while he removes his foot from the throes of his mouth. After being selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the No. 2 pick in the 2014 NBA draft, Parker was naturally excited. How could he not be? He just made it to the NBA! He’s a millionaire! Larry Sanders can hook him [...]
