Boston’s Jayson Tatum recently said he wants to remain a Boston Celtic for the remainder of his career. With the trade deadline having passed, it looks like he’ll be a Celtic for this year at least. To celebrate, the 20-year-old won the 2019 All-Star Skills Challenge after draining a jaw-dropping half-court shot. Now he needs […] More

The NBA world took notice when Kyrie Irving called LeBron James and expressed newfound admiration and appreciation for LeBron’s leadership and what it meant to Kyrie’s own career. It was a bizarre twist as Irving is the one who seemingly broke up the Cavs when he demanded a trade out of town. Again, Irving has […] More
The trio of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson represents the most remarkable single-team assemblage of shooters in modern basketball history.
