Let’s start this article by setting the tone here. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is an “empathetic” boss and not the “drop the hammer” commissioner that David J. Stern was. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way…
Seven undrafted players on the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat made it to the NBA Playoffs as an eighth seed. Injuries to their guards in their rotation of Victor Oladipo and Tyler Herro. Then you have a center on the Denver Nuggets who has won two NBA M…
When people say, "don't wake up a sleeping bear," it definitely applies to star players in the NBA. There are players in NBA history that you knew not to get them going. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller just to name a few. In today's NBA,…
The title of this article is all I need to say. That is it. James Harden is not a guy who will lead you to a championship. He's a nice selling point to season ticket holders that will put them in seats. James likes to go to concerts, go to La…
Oh what a season it's been for the Golden State Warriors. Especially for backup shooting guard Jordan Poole. Jordan busted out onto the scene last season and helped the Warriors to their 4th championship within this dynasty run. Now that Jordan Poo…
At this point, it's time for Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Daryl Morey to say goodbye to Head Coach Doc Rivers. Rivers is just an average coach who just so happened to win a championship with the right talent when he was coach of the Boston Cel…
The Los Angeles Lakers went from a 13th seed to the Western Conference Finals in a matter of months. But everything comes full circle. The second stints of D’Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroder have been huge components to the revitalization of…
It's another year the Phoenix Suns get annihilated at home with the series on the line. The overachieving Dallas Mavericks last season and the #1 seeded Denver Nuggets this season. I start to wonder if Suns fans want their money back, especially sin…
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has finally earned MVP honors in a league where the big men are dominating the past few years. Giannis has an MVP and Nikola Jokic has two on his palette. But there’s still the question of whether Embiid s…
With the dust settled and the Memphis Grizzlies management making a decision to not bring Dillon Brooks back, it’s time for Brooks to understand one major thing. He’s not at Oregon anymore, and he’s not going to be the man on any N…
The infamous “we’re good in the West” said by Memphis Grizzlies point guard and franchise player Ja Morant has come back to get them. He thought that getting a #2 seed in the West would be a pathway to the NBA Finals. He was surely…
The Milwaukee Bucks have become the fifth #1 seed team in NBA history to lose in the first round of the NBA Playoffs (Knicks over Heat in 1999, Nuggets over Sonics in 1994, Warriors over Mavericks 2007, Grizzlies over Spurs in 2011) and yes the bask…
Oh Atlanta Hawks, how you guys have fallen from grace. Imagine if you would’ve kept Luka Doncic on NBA Draft night a few years ago. The franchise would surely be heading in a different direction and here we are, at a crossroads addressing a ba…
The debacle of the Dallas Mavericks after the trade deadline to make the 2023 NBA Playoffs is clear and apparent. As their season came to an end, they literally started sitting their starters toward the end. Head Coach Jason Kidd came out and said t…
The 2023 NBA Playoffs are finally here (after a week of play-in games that I could care less about). The stage is set to chase the Larry O’Brien trophy and I'm here to give you my predictions for Round 1 of the playoffs. So here we go! Easter…
As a basketball player for the past 32 years, I've played on many outdoor basketball courts and indoor gyms. Trash talk has always been part of the game whether friendly or intense. It's been part of the sport since the beginning of time. See the t…
Michael Jordan is one of the best basketball players to lace up sneakers. That's it. There's nothing more to say about one of the most fiercely competitive athletes of our time. His on-court accolades speak for themselves and no one can ever take th…
I'm an 80s born basketball fan so just to let you guys know, I'm heading in a different direction with this letter. It's probably going to sting what I'm going to say but sadly, I don't care. To reflect on what the game was I won't do in this lette…
Dear Ja Morant, I'm writing this letter to you as a 40 year old, black man who is a huge basketball fan. You've taken the league by storm and at age 23, I can only imagine the pressures you're dealing with daily. I don't know what it's like to hav…
