• 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

• Steve Kerr’s legacy is set in stone… but is he done adding to it?

Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Steve Kerr was everywhere this summer, but returning to the formerly dynastic Warriors may paradoxically take him back out of the spotlight. How many people have been a part of four different dynasties? Managing to switch teams right as the Chicago Bulls’ reign was ending and the San Antonio Spurs’ was beginning, Steve Kerr won five rings between 1995 ...2024

• LeBron James Believed To Prefer Retirement Tour Exit From NBA Over Offseason Announcement

When LeBron James is ready to step away from the game of basketball, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports he expects it to be announced before he plays his final games in the NBA. In recent years, all-time greats such as Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki announced their plans to retire well in advance, while Tim Duncan waited until shortly after his final season to make his announcement. "I mean LeBron signe...2024

• Tom Brady is terrible in the booth and Greg Olsen deserves justice

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

• The Celtics championship needs an asterisk — but so does the rest of NBA history

Photo by Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images A look back through NBA history will reveal that there is deeper context for almost every NBA championship, making the asterisk discussion stupid (at least in its current form). 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

Hey, both these teams were supposed to contend this year, the White Sox more so than the Cubs, or so it was said when this season began. It hasn’t worked out that way for the Sox, no siree, not at all, and the Cubs lurk around the edges of contention. For mor...2023
