It’s no secret that Kobe Bryant has been historically bad in what has been confirmed as his final season in the NBA. The former superstar shooting guard has been a shell of himself in every aspect of the game (understandably so with all the damage and mileage in his body) and has gone into one arena after another to fire up some of the most inexplicable shots in the history of the league. No really. There have been a countless number
For Chicago big man Pau Gasol, the Bulls’ home matchup with the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday evening represented a unique milestone in the form of his 1,000th career NBA regular-season game. Gasol, now 35 years old, was in a jovial mood on social media as tipoff approached. In fact, the seven-footer even created a special #Pau1000 hashtag to encourage fans to submit videos of their favorite Gasol moments over his first 1,000 games. Today I’ll be playing my 1000 #RegularSeason game & I wanna
When you think of Jeremy Evans, you immediately think of the high-flyer on the Utah Jazz who won the dunk contest some years ago in impressive fashion. What you don’t think of is Evans (now on the Dallas Mavericks) the talented artist, but it turns out his ability to make art is about as impressive as his ability to dunk, as we learned on Thursday night: I was asked if I still could draw, I had to find out.

The Golden State Warriors continued their winning ways on Monday when they beat the Utah Jazz on the road 106-103 for their 19th consecutive victory, but as the score indicates, there was nothing easy about this particular game as things came down to the wire. With the Warriors up by a single point, the Jazz had the final possession with 16 seconds left in the contest for a chance to walk away with a game-winning shot. Rodney Hood missed a 3-point try
Rudy Gobert is defining himself as a force on the defensive end of the floor for the Utah Jazz this season. In doing so, he’s starting to end up on the wrong end of highlight clips. It started exactly a week ago when he went up to block DeMar DeRozan’s dunk attempt. That didn’t go so well, although he did a marvelous job at burning a Toronto Raptors fan on twitter after that game. [Read more…]
The Los Angeles Lakers played the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, and that meant another ugly-shooting performance was on deck for Kobe Bryant. The shooting guard has been historically bad for someone who has taken at least 16 shots from the field heading into the game, averaging an unfathomable 33.1 percent shooting from the field in his first 10 games.

With their record standing at 15-0, the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of setting a new record for the best start in NBA history when they face the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. So can they pull it off? The odds are overwhelmingly in their favor to do so, but the Lakers do have this on their side: they managed to beat Golden State, which went into the game with a 23-3 record – last season at the Staples Center despite
If there is one team that has proven to be a serious challenge out in the West for the Golden State Warriors thus far, it has been the Los Angeles Clippers. After giving them a run for their money in the first game back on Nov. 4 (final score of 112-108), the Clippers went up by as much as 23 points against the Warriors in the early going in their second meeting on Thursday. For the second straight time, Chris Paul
