• 6 Giannis Antetokounmpo trade destinations if NBA superstar requests deal from Bucks

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images These six teams could trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he wants out of Milwaukee.

• Can the Spurs repeat history?

Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images Will the Victor Wembanyama injury allow Spurs to repeat their Tim Duncan lottery history? The 1996-1997 San Antonio Spurs limped, literally and figuratively, to a 20-win season. Standout center David Robinson missed the first 18 games of the season as he worked his way back from a back injury, and the Spurs began the year with a 2-13 record. Head coach Bob Hill ...2025

Nikola Jokic keeps out-doing himself. The 2025 NBA MVP race is officially heating up, and there’s one thing we know for sure: Nikola Jokic doesn’t really care about the award. Jokic already has three MVPs on his mantle, and could join an exclusive club with only Kareem, MJ, LeBron, Wilt, and Russell if he can outlast Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo to win his fourth.

• Danny Green was the perfect role player for the modern NBA

Photo by Issac Baldizon/NBAE via Getty Images Danny Green redefined what an NBA role player was supposed to be. Danny Green got a crash course in what it meant to be a role player from the moment he enrolled at North Carolina.

• Power forward continues to be most misunderstood position in NBA

The NBA’s modern evolution can be most easily seen in power forwards. We often talk about sports or fields or mediums as being in a transition. In football, it’s the popularity of two high shells to prevent explosive plays that took over the NFL in 2020. In baseball, it’s the slow extension of dugouts, from a rotation of five or six pitchers to a laundry list of specialists getting saved to be in ...2024

In the 43 years from 1980 to 2023, only 14 different franchises have won the league championship. It’s possible that’s changing now.

Here’s one thing Tom Brady sucks at. It was a tough Week 1 in the NFL for a lot of guys, and this includes Tom Brady.
