Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

Is runner-up fatigue a thing? LeBron James sure thinks so. Championship fatigue is a more accepted phenomenon. It’s when reigning NBA champions struggle to find inspiration and drive and the motivation to play at full tilt every night following their title-toting campaign the year before.

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is ineffable. Seriously, he cannot be described. He’s listed at 6’11”, but at only 20 years old, he’s probably still growing, which in turns mean he’s probably over 7’0″. And yet, most of his career minutes have been doled out between the shooting guard and small forward slots, per Basketball-Reference, in part because [...]

John Henson took to Instagram on Monday to call out Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers in downtown Milwaukee for what he believed to be racial discrimination.

There are just some things you don’t do in the NBA, and talking trash to Giannis Antetokounmpo feels like one of those them. Antetokounmpo just looks and talks so nice.
