LeBron James was pretty turned up while at an ESPYs afterparty early Thursday morning, and he made sure to let everyone know. James, as usual, became the center of attention at the Uninterrupted afterparty at Le Jardin, where Kendrick Lamar performed at one point. LeBron, though, stole the show when he, at one point, gave […]

Producer/director Ron Howard narrated an excellent piece on Craig Sager which was shown during the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night. The real party seemed to be backstage, though. The man who formerly played “Opie” on The Andy Griffith Show had a beer and hung out with soon-to-be Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Manning was one […]

The Los Angeles Lakers finished their 2015-16 campaign with an abysmal 17-65 record, the worst in franchise history. It’s one thing for the 76ers to sport a 10-72 mark, which is awful, but it’s not as big of a shock for them to lose that many games as it is for the Lakers. Even Kobe […]

NBA summer league action tends to be more entertaining than many would be lead to believe. It’s a place where young players can show off a bit and showboat here and there. But it’s also a stage for embarrassing plays, which is to be expected as the young players earn their stripes get more playing […]

It’s no secret that future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan is a class act. Not only is he one of the best to ever play the position, he’s also a class act. The 19-year veteran spent his entire tenure in the league with the Spurs, and San Antonio fans really loved him both on and […]

It was the Ben Simmons show yet again on Tuesday night when the 76ers squared off against the Warriors. Simmons is a one-man highlight-reel show and is pretty much the only reason NBA fans have tuned into Sixers games, and this sick pass he dished out on Tuesday is proof of that. Check out this […]

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich isn’t one to display much emotion or get overly attached to anyone or anything, but the relationship he and Tim Duncan have is a special one. The two won more games together than any player-coach duo in NBA history (1,001), and were a big reason the Spurs have […]

Houston Rockets star James Harden still had two years remaining on his current deal, and even though the team’s 2015-16 season campaign was disappointing to say the least, management rushed to get him signed through 2020. Harden signed a four-year, $118 million extension, and Rockets fans can expect to continue to see a lot of […]

A lot of players have been moved since the NBA’s free-agent market officially opened, but Houston Rockets star James Harden is staying put, apparently. Harden signed a four-year, $118 million deal to remain with the team, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, which actually appears cheap comparing to some of the other contracts that were […]

Los Angeles Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell knows a thing or two about what to do and say while being videotaped, that’s for sure. He recorded Nick Young admitting to cheating on then-fiancee Iggy Azalea, and also gave a pretty interesting postgame interview after Saturday night’s Summer League game. Russell lifted the Lakers to victory […]

The Los Angeles Lakers brought in Timofey Mozgov to sign his four-year, $64 million contract on Friday, and now we know that the numbers that were being reported are, indeed, real. Mozgov barely played in the NBA Finals, yet was pursued hard by the Lakers once he became a free agent, and got a hefty […]

Philadelphia 76ers new head coach Brett Brown recently said No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons would see some time at point guard at some point in the future, and judging by some of the sick passes he’s already showcased during summer league play so far, that might be a pretty good idea. Simmons tossed a great […]

It’s no secret that rap mogul Snoop Dogg is a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan. Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, Snoop has always voiced support for his hometown squad, as well as Kobe Bryant. The two hung out on Wednesday, and it was Snoop’s turn to give back to the future Hall […]
