All is not right in Philadelphia. New addition Jimmy Butler has clashed with coach Brett Brown over his role in the 76ers‘ offense, league sources tell ESPN. The insiders say Butler “aggressively challenged” Brown about his role in the offense, where Butler would prefer to play in a more pick-and-roll and iso-heavy offense, rather than the free-flowing one Brown […]
When the Warriors announced over the summer they’d signed DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year deal, Twitter lost its collective shit.

The Raptors traveled to San Antonio to face the Spurs in their first matchup since the Kawhi Leonard-DeMar DeRozan trade, and fans made it clear that they did not support Leonard’s post-Gregg Popovich endeavors.

That maxim certainly holds for rookies, who sometimes have a hard time garnering a compliment from their own teammates. And it’s basically unheard of for European imports playing their initial bit of […]
LeBron James said that he considered himself the greatest player of all-time after his Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. “That one right there made me the greatest player of all time,” he said in an interview with More Than An Athlete. “That’s what I felt. I was […]
Dwyane Wade knew his pairing with LeBron during the 2017-18 season would be short-lived reunion because he was aware James would not be in Cleveland for much longer. Wade revealed to The Athletic that when LeBron asked him to team-up in Cleveland last season, the now-Laker confided in his best friend that he would be leaving the Cavs at […]
Prior to going 12-for-21 from the field for his 32-point performance during Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers, Golden State guard Klay Thompson was experiencing a shooting slump. But he once again looked like one of the league’s deadliest shooters as he went 4-for-5 from 3-point range. After hitting his fourth, the camera caught Thompson shouting “I miss […]
