LeBron James has been the best basketball player in the world for around a decade now.

Cleveland Cavaliers dynamic point guard Kyrie Irving was at the talk of the town at all-star weekend, not because of his outstanding performance during the all-star game in which he had 22 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds in just 21 minutes including six three pointers, but by his bizarre claim that the earth was […]

Cavaliers fans know the name well. It will most likely forever be synonymous with the Golden State Warriors.

New Orleans is a beautiful city, but the 2017 NBA All-Star festivities didn’t live up to the hype that was built around it.

It is easy to watch a Cavs game and wonder why their offense does not have more fluidity at times. Due to the team having two superstars, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, it is easy for the offense to fall into a pattern of one on one basketball. With sharpshooters such as Kyle Korver, Channing […]

Adam Silver, NBA Commissioner, recently named New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony an injury replacement on this year’s Eastern Conference All-Star team for Kevin Love, who has been ruled out for approximately six weeks with a knee injury, and LeBron James is happy he’s no longer the oldest member of the squad.
