Kevin Porter Jr is a bad guy. A genuinely bad human who, at best, is like the 211th-best player in the NBA. And the Los Angeles Clippers opened up the 2024 NBA Free Agency period by immediately signing Kevin Porter Jr to not only a 2-year deal but a 2-year deal with a PLAYER OPTION. […]

Let’s start with the biggest winners of the 2024 NBA Draft First Round: 1. Los Angeles Lakers The Lakers haven’t made […]
JJ Redick has managed to become the star of the NBA offseason and while typically, I’d complain about how often we’ve talked about JJ, it’s far better than the alternative: thinking about the Celtics championship. Ew. However, this new JJ Redick story may somehow be worse than the Celtics winning the title. A woman posted […]

The 2024 NBA Draft is this week, apparently, and from everything I see and hear, it’s one of the worst drafts of all time, which always seems strange to label 60 kids as mediocre players but I’m sure some All-Stars are hiding in plain sight here. Here are the 7 biggest storylines heading into […]

We may have just witnessed the most boring NBA Finals as the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks in 5 uneventful games. It’s easy to hate seeing Boston Celtics fans experience joy and clowning Jayson Tatum for being a cornball is second nature at this point but I can’t help but think ESPN’s NBA broadcasts […]
The Detroit Pistons finished a disgusting 2022-23 NBA season with only 17 wins. Naturally, their head coach, Dwane Casey, “stepped down” from the position but the damage was already done. Their coaching job was perhaps the least desirable in the league. Cade Cunningham was the only good NBA player on the roster and that man […]
As we quickly approach the offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers head coach position remains vacant. Let’s fix that today. We have to factor in the specific variables that go along with coaching the 2024-25 Los Angeles Lakers: LeBron James’s vacation home is soon-to-be occupied. The teacher in their 25th year, coasting, playing movies, running through […]

It was a blowout from the beginning. Boston made every single jump shot they took while Dallas played […]

This 2023-24 New York Knicks were the greatest team I’ve watched in my lifetime. If Apple Music was writing about this season, it would be the Lauryn Hill of all Knicks seasons. Sure, I love Latrell Sprewell and if you’ve seen me at the local gym, you know I’ve modeled my game after a young […]
So I wrote the 50 NBA Players Who Could Be on a New Team LAST YEAR and I was right about most of them but I think that says more about the league than my ability to predict the future. Regardless, let’s run it back Here are 50 NBA players who could be on […]
