Back in 2021, the Lakers were deep into their title defense when LeBron James suffered an injury that changed the trajectory of not just that season, but the career of their superstar. Los Angeles was hosting Atlanta when Solomon Hill dove headfirst at LeBron’s legs. Every Lakers fan likely remembers what happened next as LeBron […]
Betting on himself this season didn’t go nearly as well as Quentin Grimes may have hoped.

He started well, averaging 17 points per game, shooting 44.8% […]
The Portland Trail Blazers ended their 2025-26 season last night with a 114-95 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.

Our long national… well, not really a nightmare, more that weird dream that doesn’t seem to end, anyway whatever, it’s over. Tyran Stokes has made his college decision official. It is not Kentucky. It’s the other school that felt like a serious player in this recruitment all along: Kansas. Good for Bill Self, remarkably bad […]
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics saved their ugliest fourth quarter for the worst possible time, and it came at a steep price. Leading 3-1 and with a chance to close out their first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden, the C’s collapsed — in near historic fashion. Boston missed its final 14 […]

Now that the 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, the next order of business for the Minnesota Vikings is to find themselves a new General Manager.

You can read about the details of the proposal here. Basically the new rules would expand the lottery to 16 teams (including some Play-In […]
While Austin Reaves is nearing a return, the same can’t be said for Luka Dončić. He has been out since Apr. 2 with a hamstring strain and despite a trip to Spain to speed up his recovery, he has yet to do significant on-court work. The Lakers have figured out how to win games without […]

On Wednesday morning, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Reaves expects to play. Here’s his full report on Reaves: “My understanding is Austin Reaves expects to play tonight in Game 5 against […]
It's hilarious how Sixers fans wanted Embiid, PG, Grimes and Maxey gone and then they win and suddenly they want to run it back and are planning the championship parade.For whatever reason, the Celtics once again were lackadaisical and unfocused and didn't give full effort and most of their fans know that.

Last night, the Spurs capped off a 4-1 first round victory over the Trail Blazers by torching Portland in the first half and then coasting (somewhat uncomfortably at times) the rest of the way. As lopsided as the series looks on paper, I would actually argue that it’s been an ideal training ground for this […]
For the last 41 seasons, the NBA has conducted a draft lottery to determine which non-playoff team will receive the No. 1 overall pick.
