You laughed at the absurdity of it, too, right? Kyrie Irving. Back soon. Practicing. Playing in road games. Still not vaccinated. With COVID cases spiking all over the NBA and the world. That’s really happening, apparently, after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported late Friday afternoon—forever the favorite window to dump bad/guaranteed-to-be-received-horrifically news—that the Nets are welcoming […]
Among the many things that 2021 stood for, it was the year live sports returned in full effect. After COVID hit the world in March of 2020, canceling major sporting events and causing professional sports leagues to create “bubbles” in order to carry out their seasons, this year was much more normal.

With the NBA season nearing its halfway point, more and more players continue to enter the league’s health and safety protocols, as the omicron variant rips through the country. After ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed on Thursday that Russell Westbrook will miss time because of COVID, people began to wonder aloud whether the NBA should temporarily pause its season. “I […]
No more “arguably.” No more “debatably.” No more “in my opinion.” If you’re talking about the greatest shooter in NBA history, never attach a qualifier to his name again.

Curry now owns basketball’s 3-point crown by […]

On the latest episode of the Big Podcast with Shaq, the legendary Los Angeles Lakers big man explained why he’s happy about the name change, saying Staples will forever “belong” to him and the […]
The NBA’s in good hands. For the record, we’re not talking about the leadership of commissioner Adam Silver. Nor any of the fine people working behind the scenes that make the Association operate like a well-oiled machine. We’re talking about all the young stars balling at an insanely high level on a nightly basis who […]
Damian Lillard cleared the air after a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania that not all is well in Portland. Per Charania, Lillard has “grown frustrated” with the Blazers and tension appears to be on the rise between the team and their coach, Chauncey Billups. He also reported that Lillard is open to playing with Ben Simmons, as trade […]
A couple weeks ago, LeBron James was fined $15,000 by the NBA for imitating Sam Cassell’s iconic “Big Balls” celebration after hitting a game-sealing 3-pointer against the Indiana Pacers. The provocative dance did not sit well with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The Los Angeles Lakers legend took to his Substack this week to criticize LeBron for the “stupid, childish dance.” “For […]
Lakers fans apparently are the least happy NBA fanbase when it comes to on-court rulings, according to a recent study. Using a month of Twitter data and tracking negative tweets about officiating among each NBA team’s supporters, a study from Betonline.ag found that Los Angeles fans are the league’s biggest complainers regarding officiating.
