When you dominate as much as the Golden State Warriors do, it’s inevitable that doubters and haters come along for the ride. You just don’t necessarily expect it from former players and legends of the past. Of course, most former players with an ego will always believe they can beat anyone from any era. Not surprisingly, former Warriors player Stephen Jackson is one of those players. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, but the discrediting comments made by the legendary Oscar Robertson about Stephen

Sprung: Examining Joe Johnson’s Fit For Cavs, Heat, Hawks
Back during the 2014 Eastern Conference semifinals, Dwyane Wade and a few of his Miami Heat teammates were in the visiting locker room at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center preparing to go up against the Nets. Inevitably, the conversation shifted to the player they feared the most on the opposing team, Joe Johnson.

Tweet of the Night: Kyle Lowry, Magic Johnson, Baron Davis and more react to Stephen Curry’s sensational night in Orlando

Tweet of the Night: Scottie Pippen reacts to Doug McDermott’s dunks against the Wizards
Doug McDermott is mostly known as a seldom-used sharp shooter for the Chicago Bulls, but the second-year forward has taken advantage of additional playing time due to injuries in recent weeks to make a difference for his team. McDermott has been impressive in the month of February, averaging 13.4 points on 53.3 percent shooting and 44.7 percent from the arc. On Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, though, the forward showed he’s got more to his offensive game than just shooting as he
