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.

Buena High School wrestler Andrew Johnson was set to compete in the 120-pound division against Oakcrest High School in New Jersey on Thursday, when the ref decided not to allow him to wear a cover over his dreadlocks. Johnson chose to get an impromptu haircut rather than forfeit the important match. The contest was dubbed a “Cape Atlantic League [CAL] […]
We’re tired of talking about Anthony Davis‘ future, so we can only imagine what it’s like for the three-time All-NBA First Team selection. On top of that annoyance, the best player in the game is making noise about wanting to play with him. LeBron James’s overt comments this week effusively complimenting the Pelicans big man and openly pining […]
Ric Flair has been cleared to “take bumps again.” The Dirtiest Player in the Game relayed this potential source for plot lines during a conversation with Steve Austin on The Steve Austin Show, despite describing the fact that he’s still alive as a “miracle” during that very same conversation. In fact, Flair described in detail […]
The Philadelphia 76ers have gone 8-3 since they pulled Jimmy Butler out of a tense situation in Minnesota. Things may look fine, but according to Sixers big man Joel Embiid, adding Butler to the offense has thrown a wrench in his game. After being benched on Friday so that he could rest, Embiid expressed concerns […]
Trae Young came into the NBA as Steph Curry lite. The young Hawks point guard had fans agog when he first started pulling up from deep at Oklahoma during his lone freshman season in the NCAA, and the comparisons to the sharpshooting Warriors MVP were inevitable. However, through his first 25 games, Young is shooting an abysmal […]
