Nearly every player and coach on the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics took a knee during the playing of the national anthem prior to Wednesday’s game.

With rumors swirling that the Houston Rockets are ready to move on from James Harden, plenty of people are keeping a close eye on where the superstar will end up. That includes Harden, who reportedly has put together a wishlist of teams that he’d like to join if his time in Houston is at an […]
Pat Riley is getting some heat (pun intended) after he said that he feels like the Lakers’ 2020 NBA Championship has an asterisk next to it because some key players on the Heat’s roster weren’t at 100 percent during the Finals. “They beat us fair and squarely,” Riley said to Fox Sports this week. “They […]
Just because it was anticlimactic doesn’t mean it wasn’t spectacular. Because what we saw out of the Lakers in Game 6 was an exclamation point.

So just when we all thought the NBA Finals were about to be wrapped […]

And the roar LeBron James let out after Anthony Davis basically sealed the deal in Game 5 with a dagger 3-pointer with 39.5 seconds to go was a mixture of euphoria, relief, and a siren to the basketball world that he’s only 48 minutes away from history.
