Foes no more, but James and Duncan still share a bond

Two hours before the game with the sound systems and scoreboard being checked, LeBron James and Tim Duncan worked silently at opposite ends of the floor.

Deandre Ayton after workout for Suns: ‘I know I’m going No. 1’

The 7-foot-1, 250-pound center went through what he said would be his only pre-draft workout and expressed supreme confidence that the Suns will use the No. 1 pick to select him. “I know I’m going No. 1,” he told reporters. Not that the Suns have assured him of that; he’s just that confident that the […]

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 […]

NBA’s rising stars intent on raising ASG’s ‘competitive spirit’

The San Antonio Spurs rookie blocked a shot by the Toronto Raptors’ Gradey Dick with 6:32 left in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s 122-99 win, giving him the NBA’s first triple-double with blocked shots as one of the categories in more than three years.
