In a tense back-and-forth contest in Philly, Sixer star Joel Embiid nails a jumper to tie the game with just over a minute remaining. In every other stint of his unprecedented 23-season career, this would be LeBron James’ time. Instead, without even a glance at the ball, he jogs up the floor to his position […]

At some point, you’d think people who make a living in basketball would figure this out: intelligence can compensate for athleticism. The classic examples are Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, but there are others: Steve Kerr, Don Nelson, Draymond Green, Charles Oakley, Stephen Curry and, most recently, Kon Knueppel. Knueppel is particularly relevant here because […]
At 14-11 thru 25 games, there really hasn’t been a lot of noise in the numbers for the Sixers so far as we wait for them to return to action on Friday. Other than the win-loss record, which is where everyone’s eye balls jump to first, a large portion of the team’s statistical profile suggests […]
After the Knicks’ Tuesday night win to secure the franchise’s first NBA Cup trophy, much of the talk was surrounding Jalen Brunson winning MVP, OG Anunoby scoring a game-high 28 points, and Mitchell Robinson grabbing 15 rebounds (10 offensive!) in just 18 minutes. And rightfully so. But the guy who deserves the most credit might […]
Victor Wembanyama must be human after all, and despite losing in the Emirates Cup Final, the San Antonio Spurs can cope, knowing $212,373 is waiting for them for whatever they have in mind. The two-way players get half of the pot, too, but more than the money, the ride is what coach Mitch Johnson thinks […]
The Dallas Mavericks have been playing their best basketball of the season of late, though they did fall short in a 140-133 OT loss to the Jazz Monday night. In what was a fun high octane game even though Dallas couldn’t pull off the win, Cooper Flagg left Mavs’ fans with a silver lining with […]
In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Louisville fell at Tennessee 82-63, UNC dismissed East Tennessee State 77-58, Dayton beat Florida State 97-69, Clemson got by South Carolina 68-61, Miami stung FIU 98-81 and Georgia Tech slipped by Marist, 87-76.

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has reportedly held talks with MLS side Chicago Fire over a fee transfer for next summer.

According to BBC Sport, there have been “positive talks” between Lewandowski and […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had many things go against them this season. Their outside shooters not performing to their capabilities is one of those things. Currently, the Cavs are 28th in three-point percentage and lead the league in attempts. Last season, they were second in three-point percentage. Missing shots is going to make the offense […]
Saw this on social media: Spurs great David Robinson is seeking $34M in damages to funds diverted from Admiral Capital Group. Robinson played the entirety of his NBA career with the Spurs. From 1989 to 2003, Robinson earned NBA Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and two NBA championships. Additionally, the […]
For most of the junior league’s life span, the NBA and ABA had a testy relationship. The ABA did a lot of things the NBA did not like at all, like introducing the three point shot and having a flashier, fun focused game compared to the NBA’s stodgier, walk-it-up style. Plus the ABA really irritated […]
December 15th is a big day on the NBA calendar, as it is the day that most players who signed contracts in the offseason become eligible for trade.

Though the Rockets are currently fifth in the Western Conference, they are still considered by most to be true title contenders, and rightfully so. They have the third-highest offensive rating in the NBA and the fifth-highest defensive rating. That is an excellent formula for success. Knowing how stacked the west is, it’s no surprise that […]

Kon Knueppel wasn’t thought of as a home run pick when the Charlotte Hornets selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. For whatever reason, there were questions about his ceiling and his ability to impact the game beyond his outside shooting despite plenty of evidence at Duke that he’s more […] The post Kon Knueppel should be frontrunner for Rookie of the Year first appeared on At The Hive .

The Utah Jazz have to keep their pick this season. It’s a non-negotiable. Ending this season without a top-8 pick with a 10-15 roster that, even with some impressive wins, is not a credible contender for the championship.
