LeBron James is living his best life. Since injuring his groin on Christmas day, the Lakers star has been making the most of his time off, after it was revealed that he would miss the next few games. He’s tweeted about his most anticipated movies, won a prestigious award, and quietly recruited potential future teammates. But […]
LeBron James is pumped about Jordan Peele‘s upcoming horror flick Us—and understandably so. The Lakers star responded to a GQ tweet that read: “Jordan Peele’s Next Movie Will Give You Nightmares.” James 100 percent agreed: Peele caught wind of James’ message, and thanked him for the support. He then jokingly teased a Nike ad in which […]
It’s best to not take Joel Embiid entirely seriously. More than most MVP candidates, and he’s in that discussion this season, Embiid realizes the unimportance of most off-the-court matters. When most everything can be construed as a joke, the tension inherent to contests of athleticism lessens. That’s likely why he got in a dig at Jazz big man Rudy […]
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 […]
The world of sports has produced plenty of extraordinary moments over the past 12 months. From the Eagles winning their first Super Bowl to the Warriors capturing their third NBA championship in the last four seasons against the Cavaliers, not to mention Alabama and Villanova each adding another piece of hardware to their respective trophy […]
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 […]
