• 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

• The Magic should go all-in at the NBA trade deadline, and there is 1 perfect target

Mike Watters-Imagn Images With an awesome team already and nearly all their own assets available to upgrade it, the Orlando Magic are ready to win now. The Orlando Magic should be on the cusp of something special. Before his oblique injury, Paolo Banchero looked like the next thing. And then before his own oblique injury, Franz Wagner looked like the next-next thing. Jalen Suggs might be t...2025

• Nikola Jokic made NBA triple-double history again with his latest wild stat line

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. What Jokic d...2025

• The NBA’s Eastern Conference has again descended into loserdom

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images The NBA Eastern Conference was supposed to be better this season. It’s not. This was supposed to be the season the NBA’s Eastern Conference grew up and joined the big leagues. The East has essentially operated like basketball’s junior varsity from the moment Michael Jordan finished pushing off Bryon Russell, but the moves made this summer indicated ...2024

• 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. Green had all the markings of a more traditional star coming out of New York’s St. Mary’s High School in 2005: he was a five-star recruit, a McDonald’s All-American,...2024

Asterisks are wonderful things. With a simple little star after any word, one is enabled to write outrageous things all over the internet while maintaining plausib...2024

• 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

• 7 NBA predictions that are actually bold for the 2023-2024 season

Photo by Zach Beeker/NBAE via Getty Images Let’s make some bold predictions for the new NBA season. The NBA has a reputation as the most predictable league in sports. That’s not entirely unfair. In the 43 years from 1980 to 2023, only 14 different franchises have won the league championship. It’s possible that’s changing now. The NBA has seen five different champions in the last five yea...2023

Even the most tepid praise for Victor Wembanyama labeled the 7’5 French giant as the NBA’s best prospect since LeBron James.

"com/Aw1KrpVFhp— NBA (@NBA) January 2, 2025 As Kirk Goldsberry noted in a recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast, Jokic is currently averaging more points than Shaq ever did in his career, more rebounds per game than Tim Duncan ever had per game in a season, and more assists than Chris Paul ever averaged in a season."

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. The highest-paid, big-name addition to FOX’s broadcasting lineup was on hand for Cowboys vs. Browns, and it was a damn mess. From the jump it was clear that at no point did anyone assess whether Brady had talent for this gig before offering him a 10-year, $375 million contract with...2024
