Whatever Duncan decides, fans should celebrate his greatness

The Duncan-ites of this world are pretty down right now. We’ve been mopey this whole month, frankly, watching the previously age-defying ‎Tim Duncan — our modern-day Bill Russell — reduced to filling such a minuscule role for the San Antonio Spurs in these playoffs. The NBA’s corner of the Twitterverse predictably bathed in such sadness […]

Fantasy Hoops: Boogie and The Brow no longer elite as teammates?

DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans already makes this trade deadline huge. Seismic. But fantasy-wise? There isn’t a lot of history to compare this to. Twin Tower pairings like Cousins and Anthony Davis don’t happen that often. This is a video game trade. A Don Nelson-grade mad scientist experiment. A statistical collision. Let’s take a look […]

Source: Brook Lopez returning to Bucks on 2-year, $48M deal

The Bucks were able to retain both Lopez and star guard Khris Middleton this offseason, keeping the core of their 2021 championship team together around two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Wembanyama arrived here Friday afternoon. He was a […]

NBA draft 2023: Surprises, winners and losers from the first round

The moves NBA teams made Thursday will have a ripple effect into free agency, the 2023-24 season and beyond.

NBA Finals 2023: Tales of Nikola Jokic’s journey to a title

It was 10 days before Christmas in 2016, and Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was “racking” his brain for solutions to jump-start his team, which was sputtering to a 9-16 start to the 2016-17 season. The Nuggets had been starting Jokic and fellow big man Jusuf Nurkic as the foundation of a gigantic lineup that […]

Gregg Popovich, an NBA legend: Stories you’ve never heard about the San Antonio Spurs, Team USA coach

For nearly two decades, Manu Ginobili has had hundreds of dinners and countless talks with San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, discussing everything from “politics, war, the game or kids.” Popovich even showed up at Ginobili’s door at 1 in the morning with wine to cheer him up after a tough game. But one dinner […]

Gregg Popovich pulls into tie for NBA all-time winningest coach as San Antonio Spurs ‘played good defense down the stretch’ at home

Popovich tied Don Nelson’s NBA record with his 1,335th career victory as a coach in the San Antonio Spurs’ 117-110 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.
