Not many people would have expected to see the Chicago Bulls tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference at the All-Star break before the season began. But that’s the beauty of sports, you can predict and speculate all you want, but nothing truly matters until the games are played and the season is actually […]
Tonight, the NBA’s most impactful rookies, emerging second-year standouts, and sleepers from the G-League took the court in Cleveland Ohio for the 2022 NBA All-Star Rising Stars Game. This year’s Rising Stars featured a new format which saw the players divided into four teams—Team (Rick) Barry, Team Isiah (Thomas), Team (Gary) Payton, and Team (James) […]
Tonight, the stars were out in Cleveland, Ohio to kick off NBA All-Star Weeknd in the always fun NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. As usual, the game was a mixed bag in terms of quality, but was entertaining as always. Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett and Olympic gold medalist Gianmarco Tamberi provided some highlight-reel dunks, […]
Andrew Wiggins was named to the NBA All-Star Game Thursday. He will be a starter for the Western Conference and that’s where the conversation begins.

Canada Goose, purveyors of power parkas made for impossibly harsh climates, may not strike you as the ideal brand to link up with the NBA. But they do have a history with the league.

Many of the pregame festivities that took place prior to the NBA All-Star Game earned rave (or at the least very positive) reviews, including Jennifer Hudson’s Kobe tribute, and Dr. Dre’s own Kobe tribute. Unfortunately (hey, we all have bad days), Chaka Khan’s rendition of the national anthem didn’t inspire the same fanfare. If you missed […]
For Canadian NBA fans, there’s no shortage of reasons to get excited about this weekend’s 69th annual All-Star Game in Chicago. For starters, All-Star Saturday Night is a consistently more enjoyable February holiday than Valentine’s Day. (Come @ me, bro.) There’s more, of course—like Pascal Siakam getting picked to run with the big dogs as […]
Jaxson Hayes apologized for posting a profanity-laced video in which he called out the NBA over his 2020 Rising Stars snub. “I want to apologize for my actions today. I used extremely poor judgment and inexcusable language in a moment of frustration. In no way does what I said represent who I am,” he wrote […]
The NBA’s first All-Star ballot returns are in, and Luka Dončić and Giannis Antetokounmpo are leading the fan vote. Among the surprises are Dwight Howard, Alex Caruso, Tacko Fall and Carmelo Anthony, none of whom are having All-Star-worthy seasons. At the top of the Western Conference’s frontcourt is LeBron James, closesy followed by Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard, […]
