Dirk Nowitzki was one of the greatest big men to have ever played the game, so he really turned heads with his recent comments about Luka Doncic. No seven-footer had a stroke sweeter than Nowitzki. Not only that, his one-footed fadeaway and medical web design skills made him literally unguardable at times, specifically in the […]

LeBron James doesn’t seem to want to play anywhere else but Los Angeles, at least not at this point in his career. James has suited up for the Cavs, Heat and Lakers, having won titles playing for all three organizations. But he’s now 36 years old, and it does appear that his body is finally

Nigeria pulled off a once-in-a-lifetime type of upset in defeating Team USA in the pre-Olympic opener on Saturday, and one of their players looked to capitalize on it by getting eyes on social media. No one really knew who Precious Achiuwa was, at least not before Nigeria beat Team USA in the exhibition game, 90-87.

The Spurs boast a young, talented backcourt, but they struggle to get consistency from the rest of their roster, and this group simply doesn’t look like it’s going to get over the hump anytime soon. And that makes them ripe for a trade this summer. Dejounte Murray and Derrick White, when healthy, are two of

Opposing teams figured out that if they take away his penetration, he was virtually invisible on

Reggie Jackson’s 2021 playoff journey has come to an end, but he’s still grateful that he’s played for a contender, rather than the cellar-dweller he once suited up for. It’s no secret that the Pistons are one of the worst organizations in professional basketball, from top to bottom. Jackson knows that all too well, as

The Trail Blazers will be undergoing major changes this offseason, and their superstar point guard may be included in that process as well. It’s been floated that Damian Lillard wants to have input in the team’s head coaching search, and that he’s been interested in Chauncey Billups and Jason Kidd. The problem is that both

The Ben Simmons trade talk apparently does have weight, and isn’t simply rumor-driven. Simmons was discussed as a potential trade candidate last offseason, with the Sixers making major changes at both coach and president. But the team opted to give the Simmons-Joel Embiid marriage at least one more season. The results were interesting, as Embiid,

It seems like everyone has a virtual assistant nowadays, and ESPN analyst Jay Williams may want to hire one to help with fact-checking, after what happened Wednesday. Williams has long been an advocate for social justice, and has supported the hiring of minority head coaches around the NBA. But he may want to make sure
