Durant and the Warriors are No Longer the Villains
June 11, 2019
From the moment Kevin Durant stunned the basketball world by signing for the Golden State Warriors in July 2016, he and the team from the Bay have been the NBA’s most notorious villains. Durant had finished the previous season, his last with the Oklahoma City Thunder, by blowing a 3-1 lead to the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Three weeks later, his new team-mates also managed to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory, as they squandered their own 3-1 advantage, handing the Cleveland Cavaliers their inaugural title in the most humiliating fashion.
Candace Parker’s Return to Hoops: Could this be a Championship Season for the Sparks?
June 11, 2019
Candace Parker, who has not played in a single game this season due to an injury to her hamstring, has apparently started getting workouts in with Sparks player development coach Jamal “Dash” Lovell. Parker shared a photo last Friday on social media with Lovell and Orlando Magic point guard Michael Carter-Williams with the caption “ALWAYS the class clown. Great work last night wit my guys.” Could this mean that the Sparks legend is on the verge of return?
The Lone Raptor
June 9, 2019
The Toronto Raptors are just one game away from potentially being NBA Champions, and that’s great news for basketball. Whenever a new team takes over the reins of the league (which, don’t get me wrong, is still far from a guarantee still), it is, but now it’s a whole new country.
Toronto: A viable market for a WNBA team?
June 9, 2019
There has never been a better time for WNBA expansion than now. With talented rookies like Cierra Dillard and Megan Gustafson cut from WNBA rosters this season, it is clear that the league needs to expand in order to ensure that talented players have a place to play. Making a WNBA team’s roster is an extremely difficult task, especially when there are only twelve teams.

The NBA Finals: At a Glance
June 5, 2019
The 2019 NBA Finals have been nothing short of thrilling thus far. Games 1 and 2 are in the books and I am excited to see how the pivotal Game 3 plays out.
Warrior Injury Woes Continue – Tietze Curse
June 4, 2019
On Monday night Kevon Looney was ruled out indefinitely by the Golden State Warriors with a right first costal cartilage fracture. This latest injury just adds to the injury woes of the Warriors, who are still without Kevin Durant who is recovering from a mild calf strain and has not been cleared to play while Klay Thompson who suffered a mild hamstring strain in game 2 of the finals is listed as questionable for game three.
Memphis Fails to Attract Šaras
June 4, 2019
Despite their head coaching job opening up on the last day of the season when the Memphis Grizzlies’ front office decided it was time to part ways with J.B. Bickerstaff, Memphis finds themselves as the only team yet to make a hiring decision. It’s now been a full three weeks since the hirings of John Beilein and Frank Vogel, by Cleveland and Los Angeles respectively, and the Grizzlies still haven’t made any clear decisions on the direction they want to go, but one potential option seems to have disappeared for them, and it’s not necessarily of their own volition.
Ja Morant -Arthroscopy Before Draft
June 3, 2019
On Saturday it was announced that Ja Morant will undergo a right knee arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies from his knee. This procedure is scheduled for Monday morning. I’m sure this news had a lot of NBA fans worried about the prospect who is expected to be picked close to the top of the upcoming NBA draft.
Chris Bosh says LeBron staying in Miami is the biggest ‘What If’ of his career
May 31, 2019
During a segment on NBA TV’s ‘Open Court’, Former Miami Heat player Chris Bosh said his biggest ‘What If’ of his career was Lebron James staying in Miami. Bosh believes the Heat would’ve won at least one more title had James stayed in Miami.
The Don Draper of the NBA: Does Ersan İlyasova Really Exist?
May 31, 2019
Ersan İlyasova is supposed to be a Turkish power forward drafted in the second round who carved out a solid enough career for himself that he’s still a decent NBA player well over a decade after being drafted. He’s known for being a good floor spacer at 6’10” while shooting 37% from behind the arc for his career and has fit in really well with Milwaukee’s system for quite a few years. This year, he averaged a sliver over 18 minutes per game in Milwaukee’s run to the Eastern Conference Finals – the furthest run he’s been a part of in his career.
And most of that’s true.
But there’s just one problem with that description of Ersan İlyasova. There is no Ersan İlyasova.
