New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry isn’t messing around when it comes to Jrue Holiday. After missing just 14 games through the first four seasons of his career, all of which were spent with the Philadelphia 76ers, Holiday has missed 90 over the last two. Put simply, his time in New Orleans has not [...]

Whomever said Anthony Davis didn’t have a little Kobe Bryant in him was a bald-faced serial liar. At only 22 years old, with just three NBA season under his belt, having only appeared in four playoff games, Davis is already thinking about his place among the all-time greats—a spot he plans on reserving, and then [...]

Eric Gordon’s feelings about the New Orleans Pelicans have changed. It was the summer of 2012, and Gordon, after spending a year in New Orleans following the Chris Paul trade, signed a max offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns in restricted free agency. Knowing the Pelicans (then the Hornets), could match that contract, he publicly [...]

Anthony Davis is like the Energizer Bunny of fear: He just keeps getting scarier and scarier and scarier and scarier. Last week, we riffed on the Brow bulking up and turning the NBA’s fellow power forwards and centers into his own personal playthings. Now we’re back to him incorporating three-pointers into his already-expansive arsenal. Yes, [...]

It’s apparently not enough that Anthony Davis is honing his three-point shot this summer. He’s Hulking up as well. Per Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com (h/t Bleacher Report), Davis, who is listed at 220 pounds, has packed on 12 pounds of muscle this offseason. And Eichenhofer posted the pictures to prove it: Through diet/lifting, Anthony Davis [...]

The NBA is doing Christmas Day 2015 right. Most likely. Schedule details are starting to trickle out ahead of the league’s official release, and, naturally, it’s the Association’s slate of Christmas Day tilts that are being dispersed first. On Thursday, ESPN.com’s Marc Stein brought word that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will be [...]

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. Any anecdote you hear paints the picture of an innocent 20-year-old kid, one who is great at basketball but doesn’t seem like he has a [...]

Anthony Davis values stability. And, apparently, lower-seeded playoff berths. But mostly the stability thing. The New Orleans Pelicans haven’t changed much this offseason, much to the delight of their franchise cornerstone. They re-signed Davis to what is, as of now, the richest contract in NBA history, and they canned head coach Monty Williams in favor [...]

Anthony Davis is really good. And he’s about to get even better. Sure, there’s the organic improvement that comes with progressing from a young, budding, superhuman alien to full-fledged cyborg. Davis is only 22, so the things he does well now, he will do even better later. As for the one thing he doesn’t do, [...]

Despite being eliminated in the opening round of this year’s playoffs, the Pelicans’ confirmed to everybody in the league that they are the real deal and will definitely be back next season hungrier than ever. Of course, their success last season wouldn’t have been possible without their All-Star center Anthony Davis, who’s simply been a [...]
