LeBron James has said Ben Simmons has the opportunity to be better than him, which isn’t an aggressive reach since the Sixer has won 2018 NBA Rookie of the Year. It doesn’t hurt that Simmons is pretty self-confident. He raced against the Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell for the ROTY prize, and Simmons angered hair-trigger Jazz fans when […]
For all the praise David Fizdale has received, only the LeBron-less Cavs have a worse record than the Knicks through the first 35 games of the season. The biggest reason isn’t the coaching, or even the ownership—though that’s always an issue. It’s their decided lack of talent. Kristaps Porzingis will likely convalesce well into the new year and maybe even […]
Coming into the 2018-19 NBA season, only the Warriors and Rockets really rivaled the Celtics in terms of talent. This was made even more apparent after the team, missing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, came within one game of advancing to the 2018 Finals. But the team stumbled out of the gate this season, which according […]
LeBron James was swept in the 2018 Finals. After the loss, he left the Cavaliers for the second time in his career to sign with the Lakers. But Bron’s legacy is very much in tact, as evidenced by him being named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the third time in his career (winning previously in […]
Chicago Bulls fans have every reason to be nostalgic. Aside from a promising young core that includes Lauri Markkanen, Wendell Carter Jr., and the high-flying antics of Zach LaVine, it’s probably easier to look back than forward. That helps explain why they serenaded Derrick Rose with “MVP” chants after he connected on a three-point play during Wednesday […]
James Harden had a lot to be grateful for heading into Christmas this year. The Houston Rockets star guard was coming off a 2017-18 campaign where he led the league in points per game (30.4), made a sixth-straight All-Star Game appearance, led his team to the Western Conference Finals, and was named NBA MVP. It […]
Will the Los Angeles Lakers get another superstar added to their roster? LeBron James hopes so. James recently sat down with ESPN‘s Rachel Nichols for an interview and the two talked about a range of topics. When asked about the possibility of adding another star player to the Lakers, James responds by saying: “That would be ideal.” When asked if he would […]
When David Fizdale officially accepted the position to become the next head coach of the New York Knicks, he knew what he was getting himself into. Well, for the most part. Fizdale understood that he was expected to turn around a rebuilding Knicks organization that hasn’t made a playoff appearance since the 2012-13 season. What Fiz may not have been […]
Dennis Rodman’s renewed Twitter and Instagram presence has become increasingly interesting as of late. The former basketball player and unofficial North Korea ambassador has promised what sounds like a possible rap career. In a tweet shared on Friday evening, Rodman posted a screenshot of his Instagram DMs with Lil Uzi Vert, implying that a collaboration between the two […]
On Friday night’s episode of HBO‘s The Shop, LeBron James had a conversation with Maverick Carter, Todd Gurley, and Ice Cube. During said conversation, James blasted the NFL and the people who own teams in the league. “In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” James said, per […]
