The Los Angeles Lakers always like to kick the offseason off with a bang, for better or worse. It wasn’t too long ago when midnight stuck on July 1st only for the Lakers to reach quick agreements with Luol Deng and Timofey Mozgov. Last winter, the first domino…
No one should be surprised that it was possible for teams led by Devin Booker and Trae Young could make the NBA Finals and Eastern Conference Finals one day, respectively. I don’t think many expected that to happen this previous season, however. But damn it, it did. After…
Before we start up this draft profile, I want to give you all a blind resume of two players’ stat line per 40 minutes. Per-40 Pts Asts TOs Rebs Stls FG% 3pt% FT% FTA FGA A 30.9 9.8 5.9 4.4 1.9 42.2% 36% 86.1% 9.7 21.8 B…
There are many players in the 2021 NBA Draft that so-called pundits like myself would deem ‘wild cards.’ Some of these guys could be multiple-time all-stars; some could go their entire careers without putting their imprint in the association. This kind of player’s success, perhaps more so than…

The phrase ‘you’re only as strong as your weakest link’ is applied to an assortment of contexts. Jay-Z’s ‘if everybody in your clique is rich your clique is rugged. Nobody will fall ’cause everyone will be each other’s crutches’ line echoes that sentiment. It also has been a…
The notion that the Green Bay Packers ‘wasted’ the prime of all-time great quarterback Aaron Rodgers has irked me as a fan of the Packers. Rodgers has had more playoff losses come from the last play of that certain game than not. He’s always had a stellar offensive…
