The Los Angeles Lakers made crucial additions to their roster around the NBA Trade Deadline. Rob Pelinka got crafty and pulled off a trade that helped the team in acquiring D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. It created a new-look roster for the Los Angeles Lakers, which has been quite effective. This was proven once again when the Lakers utterly dominated the Warriors in their most recent matchup. Keeping that in mind, it’s no surprise that the Lakers are reportedly planning to keep the three crucial pieces on the roster alongside Rui Hachimura and Mo Bamba for a long time. Via Heavy…
The Phoenix Suns have proven themselves as one of the most consistent teams in the NBA over the last few seasons. After 2 seasons among the top contenders in the West, the Suns were faltering this season with Devin Booker out with an injury and Chris Paul’s production regressing. To capitalize on their championship window, the Suns added Kevin Durant. Booker and Paul weren’t named All-Stars this season after being on the team last year, which led Booker to make a comment about how KD is the only All-Star talent on the Suns. “Well, we only had one All-Star this…
The Los Angeles Lakers have quite a bit to look forward to now that the team has improved on both ends of the court since the trade deadline. For one, they got rid of Russell Westbrook and have added three solid players in D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt. Not to mention, Los Angeles added talented forward Rui Hachimura, who is still only 25 years old and is averaging a solid 12.4 PPG and 4.8 RPG. Along with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers look primed for a strong ending to the season with the hopes of making…

If you didn’t already believe Giannis Antetokounmpo was the best player in the world, NBA stars Jayson Tatum, and Donovan Mitchell might be enough to finally convince you. Speaking with ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Tatum and Mitchell both admitted that Giannis was the best player in the world despite having a solid case to pick themselves. Here’s what they said: “I think I might say Giannis. How he impacts both sides, scoring and rebounding. We all have off nights but when he has an off night, it’s still 25 and 15 instead of 40 and 20. And he’s won already…” Mitchell…
On paper, the Phoenix Suns certainly look like an NBA superteam. With Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton, they have one of the best starting units in basketball with a ceiling that may be the highest out of any team in the league. But if you ask young star Devin Booker whether or not his new squad constitutes a superteam, he’ll still tell you no. In a surprising statement to the press this week, Book gave his honest answer on if the “superteam” label is fair to add to his team this season. “Well, we only had…
LeBron James is still one of the top players in the world right now, even at 38 years old. The way the man takes care of himself is surreal, and there hasn’t been a player as great as him as longevity is concerned. Whether he is the GOAT or not is an entirely different story, but breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record is excellent for The King’s career. As the 2023 season ends, there is a ton of speculation about James’ career and how he will decide to play out his final years. Playlist Error: This content is currently unavailable from…
350-mile-deep earthquake used in scientific study to make elusive measurements of the Earth’s layers. There may be a layer of surprisingly fluid rock ringing the Earth, at the very bottom of the upper mantle, according to a new study from a University of Chicago scientist. The finding was made by measuring the lingering movement registered by GPS sensors on islands in the wake of a deep earthquake in the Pacific Ocean near Fiji. Published on February 22 in Nature, the study demonstrates a new method to measure the fluidity of the Earth’s mantle. “Even though the mantle makes up the largest part of Earth, there’s…
A study conducted by the University of Southampton has uncovered the process by which supermassive black holes (SMBHs) consume gas clouds that reach them by traveling hundreds of thousands of light years, from one galaxy to another. An international group of researchers has established a crucial connection between the interaction of neighboring galaxies and the massive quantities of gas required to sustain these colossal and ultra-dense space phenomena. Their findings were recently published in the journal Nature Astronomy. A black hole can be created when a star collapses, squeezing matter into a relatively tiny space. This increases the force of gravity to a point where…
Estimates by astronomers indicate that there could be more than 100 BILLION Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way that could be home to life. Think that’s a big number? According to astronomers, there are roughly 500 billion galaxies in the known universe, which means there are around 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5×1022) habitable planets. That’s of course if there’s just ONE universe. In fact, just inside our own Milky Way Galaxy experts now believe are some 400 BILLION STARS, but this number may seem small as some astrophysicists believe that stars in our galaxy could figure the TRILLION. This means that the Milky…

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time for most NBA fans around the globe. Jordan’s time in the NBA was full of amazing moments with the Chicago Bulls, including winning six NBA Championships with the team. By the time Jordan retired from the NBA, he had established an untouchable aura around him, and not many thought that a similar like him could enter the league for several decades. However, Kobe Bryant proved everyone wrong, as Kobe undoubtedly had a freakishly similar playing style to Jordan. Keeping that in mind, who would win in a hypothetical 1-on-1 matchup…
The 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers campaign was nothing but an absolute disaster, and 10 of the veteran players who played for the team that season are not playing in the NBA anymore. The likes of Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, Isiah Thomas, Wayne Ellington, DJ Augustin, Rajon Rondo, Avery Bradley, Kent Bazemore, and Darren Collison haven’t suited up in the NBA this season. That year saw the front office do away with a major chunk of younger names for Russell Westbrook — a move that stung and saw them fail to make the playoffs after a disappointing 33-49 finish. The…
If you’ve ever been at sea or visited a seacoast, you probably looked out at the vast expanse of ocean and wondered, “How did all this water get here?” The answer goes back to Earth’s origins some 4.5 billion years ago. In those early times, water-rich planetesimals and other bodies transported water to our still-growing planet. A recent discovery of a previously unknown population of such asteroids between Mars and Jupiter seems to prove that point. An international group of geoscientists used the NASA Infrared Telescope in Hawaii to measure the spectra of these so-called “low-albedo” (or “dark”) worldlets. The…
Anthony Davis is one of the best big men in the league when he’s healthy, he’s capable of dominating on both ends of the floor. As of right now, Anthony Davis is averaging 26.0 PPG, 12.3 RPG, and 2.5 APG for the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite his strong play this year, the Los Angeles Lakers could end up trading Anthony Davis in the future. NBA insider Chris Broussard has recently claimed that the Mavericks want to make a Kyrie Irving sign-and-trade for Anthony Davis this summer, noting that the Lakers could consider it if Anthony Davis does not play well for the rest…
All anyone can talk about in the NBA during 2022-23 is offense. The NBA in 2022-23 is in its highest-scoring period since 1970. Teams are averaging 114.3 PPG which is the highest output since teams were putting up 116.7 PPG 53 years ago. Over the last 20 years, the game has slowly been catered more and more toward the offensive player with the three-point revolution and amending of some of the league’s rules. This time in NBA history has proven to be one of the most offensively loaded eras with some of the most gifted players the NBA has ever…
LeBron James keeps breaking records and making history in the NBA, and he keeps aiming at huge milestones in the association. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is set to take his team to the playoff after missing the big party last season, and once they’re there, Bron is ready to challenge for the championship. Even though he’s locked in on helping the Lakers win it all this season, James has an ultimate goal before he calls it a career. As we all know, he’s not getting any younger, and even though he keeps beating Father Time, he’s closer to finishing…
John Wall’s career in the NBA has been going down over the last few seasons. Wall was once regarded as one of the best players in his position in the league. But due to several serious injuries, Wall lost that edge which made him better than other players in his position. Even so, when he signed for the Los Angeles Clippers last summer, many expected him to rejuvenate his career. Unfortunately, after an underwhelming spell in LA, he was once again traded back to the Houston Rockets. Considering Wall’s differences with the Rockets, it wasn’t a surprise when he finalized a…

Damian Lillard is among the greatest players of this generation even without having been to the NBA Finals. His loyalty to the Portland Trail Balzers and commitment to succeeding with his team is something that is rarely seen in today’s NBA. Lillard’s accolades may not ring out as the most amazing, but he is in contention to be considered the greatest Blazers ever. And that’s an interesting topic to discuss. Damian Lillard has had enough of people questioning his loyalty to the Trail Blazers, reaffirming his own beliefs of loyalty. Lillard is the all-time leading scorer for the Blazers, and he recently…
