Since being traded to the Windy CIty in 2017, Zach LaVine has done everything in his power to establish his imprint on this era of Chicago Bulls history. Now that the team has given LaVine the help he needs in the form of DeMar DeRozan, he has now finally been capable of making winning a realistic goal for this team. Believe it or not, DeRozan is already 34th in Chicago’s all-time franchise scoring leaders list even though he hasn’t finished playing two full seasons with the team yet. Even more impressively, however, is LaVine has now skyrocketed into the elite ranks of the Bulls’…

As John Paxson and his staff prepared for the 2003 NBA draft, much of the work centered on finding a wing who could complement a budding backcourt featuring Jay Williams, Jamal Crawford and Jalen Rose.A Perhaps Mickael Pietrus would become a Bull. Maybe Jarvis Hayes. Instead, just days after 2002 No. 2 overall pick Williams almost lost his leg following a motorcycle accident, the Chicago Bulls drafted Kirk Hinrich. Fast forward nine years. After losing to the Miami Heat in the 2011 Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls entered the 2012 NBA playoffs again as the No. 1 seed, their championship window wide…

There are many ways to judge just how great Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is. You can look at his four rings, the fact that he has the most three-pointers in the history of the league or the fact that he’s now a Finals MVP winner too. You can also evaluate his greatness based on the fact that he’s still putting up 50-point games at this point in his career. But just because Curry can accumulate 50 points in a game doesn’t mean his team is going to win. In fact, ClutchPoints revealed that Curry has had two 50-point games…

The Golden State Warriors are extremely shorthanded at the moment, and they might get a whole lot more shorthanded, as two-time MVP Steph Curry is currently listed as “questionable” for Friday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks in the team’s injury report. Curry is dealing with left thumb soreness, which means he likely jammed the thumb on his non-shooting hand during his spectacular 50-point performance in the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. In addition to Curry’s status, starting center Kevon Looney is also making an appearance on the injury report due to lower back soreness, though his status is listed as “probable.” At this…

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is eligible to return from his suepsnion on March 20 against the Dallas Mavericks. Before the All-Star point guard returns to the court, the Grizzlies’ organization is creating sweeping changes to prevent further issues on road trips. Morant, age 23, was suspended eight games by the NBA after he posted an Instagram Live video in which he brandished a firearm while at a strip club in Denver. The incident occurred just hours after Memphis lost 113-97 to the Denver Nuggets. It was the latest in a growing list of alleged incidents that heightened concerns about Morant’s maturity. He…

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly sensationally agreed a bumper £173million-a-year contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, which would make him the highest earner in sport. The 37-year-old had his Manchester United contract terminated earlier this month, following a tumultuous relationship with club chiefs that only worsened when he made a number of controversial statements in a TV interview with Piers Morgan. And now Ronaldo is said to have agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with Al Nassr – worth an eye-watering £173m-per-year – that will see him play until the age of 40, according to Spanish newspaper outlet Marca. Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly agreed a…

Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, forward Dillon Brooks, forward Jaren Jackson Jr., and guard Desmond Bane-Mandatory Credit: Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports Friday, March 3rd and Saturday, March 4th were two of the darkest days in the Memphis Grizzlies history. First, Memphis completely collapsed in the fourth quarter at Denver, turning a tie game after three quarters into a 16-point loss. Brandon Clarke suffered an Achilles tear during that game that will keep him out for the rest of this season and likely much of next season as well. The Grizzlies fully fell out of the race for the one seed in…

“Mommy, who is LeBron James?” my 4-year-old daughter asked. “He’s one of the best basketball players in the world,” I replied, explaining some of his accomplishments. “Why?” “I really like his drink,” she said, after stealing a sip of Mtn Dew Rise from a sample pack that Pepsi sent me ahead of my interview with James. Pandemic parenting at its best. With just one taste of the energy drink, she was hooked — and became an instant LeBron James fan. PepsiCo is banking on that kind of reaction after luring James away from archrival Coca-Cola, which he endorsed for 17 years. The…

After a brief counseling stay in Florida, the Grizzlies Ja Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver to discuss his return to the court. Now that his suspension has been handed down, how will he handle his return to the court?  It seems that the Ja Morant saga finally has an end, at least for now. The NBA announced that Morant would be suspended eight games for “conduct detrimental to the league” after their investigation into his incident in a Denver club earlier this month. He avoided a larger suspension after the league did not find enough evidence that the gun shown…

Even as he may be ahead of schedule in his recovery, the expectation is that LeBron James reportedly will still not return until the final week of the regular season. More than anything else, the ongoing storyline that is going to dictate the Lakers playoff hopes and any chance they have in the postseason is the health of LeBron James. As much as the Lakers have played surprisingly well without him and as much as they’ve shown fight and moved up the playoff standings, all of it has a pretty low ceiling without LeBron. It’s a particularly tough balancing act for LeBron…

When the fans at Madison Square Garden all but guilted New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau into playing Derrick Rose for the final moments of the team’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, it marked the former NBA MVP’s first action in more than six weeks. His extended break from actual, on-court activity notwithstanding, the 34-year-old Rose apparently continues to be a hot commodity. Per a recent report from Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the new-look Phoenix Suns are keeping tabs on him as a potential post-buyout signing. “There is a primary candidate the team is monitoring, according to sources: New…

Dec 16, 2022; Chicago, Illinois, USA; New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (4) acknowledges the crowd during the second half against the Chicago Bulls at the United Center Derrick Rose is content playing garbage minutes for the surging New York Knicks despite the reported interest of the Phoenix Suns. Rose, 34, had a cameo during the final 2:21 of the Knicks’ 128-106 rout of the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night. The former MVP missed all four attempts but seemingly enjoyed the adoration of the Knicks’ home crowd, who chanted his name and egged Tom Thibodeau to put him in when the game…

Things have not gone to plan for the Golden State Warriors this season. After bringing home the Larry O’Brien trophy last year, they have struggled, especially when it’s come to winning on the road. On Tuesday night, that trend continued as they dropped an away game to the LA Clippers. It was a hard-fought game in the first half, but throughout the course of the second half, the Warriors just couldn’t manage to get over the hump. After the game, Stephen Curry wasn’t happy, delivering a frustrated rant despite his impressive performance. “I mean, y’all know me,” Curry said via the NBA Interviews…

Age isn’t stopping Steph anytime soon. How many players in history under 6’3” can truly be considered unguardable? To qualify that term: How many of the NBA’s small men evoke that certain feeling of inevitability? A few candidates come to mind. Allen Iverson had the huge heart to compensate for his lack in size. In the modern game, Damian Lillard certainly is capable of shooting the lights out and using the threat of his pull-up mastery to drive past tight defending and finish at the rim. But perhaps no other small man in NBA history could evoke that feeling of…
