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.

Milwaukee Bucks – Detroit Pistons Playoff Preview
April 14, 2019
The Bucks and Pistons will top off game one of their playoff matchup Sunday night in Milwaukee. The path each team took to get here has been very different. The Bucks have dominated the Eastern Conference from the very start of the season. Whereas, Detroit lost 7 of the final 11 games, just barely making the cut, winning their final two games of the year. While both teams rely on their stars to help them win games, both teams will need steady contributions from others to help them through the playoffs.

March 23, 2019

As I begin putting this entire article together Malcolm, unfortunately, he received an MRI and has been diagnosed with a minor plantar fascia tear. The expectation is that he will be sidelined six-to-eight weeks according to most media reports. This is a crucial blow to not only Malcolm who was in the midst of one of a historical season but to the Bucks as well. He hopes to be back in action sometime in the playoffs depending on how far the team can go with him on the shelf.

February 21, 2019
With temperatures getting warmer, days getting longer, and All-Star weekend behind us, attention can start to shift towards the Holy Grail of the NBA campaign, the playoffs. This year’s regular season has been wildly entertaining, and the upcoming free agency is set to be the most dramatic in recent memory, but the time between mid-April and mid-June will always be the most exciting period in the basketball calendar. To steal the NBA’s favorite slogan, the postseason is why we watch.
