Inspiration: Recently I was talking with a friend about the Dallas Mavs and we were talking about why we did not see them coming this post season. What stood out is how Dallas was never considered a contender heading into this season and that was because it never felt like they had a complete team. […]

Introduction: For the past couple of days, I have partaked in discussions on who the greatest center of all time is. I argued that Shaq is the best. My points of support alluded to the fact that he was an unstoppable beast and some other anecdotes. Unfortunately I was never convinced by the anecdotes and […]
The NBA season is well underway, and so is this years rookie class (minus Zion). In my opinion, watching a rookie develop over the course of their first year is one of the more interesting things to keep track of during an NBA season, be it a Trae Young level post all star break improvement, […]
So far, Lou Williams is looking like he’ll win a record-breaking 4th 6th Man of the Year Award. Despite the additions of PG and Kawhi, his usage is still at 29.4% (18th in the league) while averaging the 2nd most points in his career. I know the majority of the season the Clippers have been […]

His jaw-dropping handles and adept scoring ability made him one of the most entertaining players to watch in the late 90s and early 2000s. The no. 1 pick of the incredible 1996 draft class could get buckets, recording 4 seasons with […]
OG Anunoby has been one of the league’s best starting role players this season as an all-around threat. But so far, he’s largely been flying under the radar. On the defensive end, Anunoby has shown great versatility averaging over a steal and a block per game. The Raptors currently have the no. 6 defense in […]
I’m not trying to say Wiggins is going to win MIP but I just want to point out his major improvements through his first 11 games. You can clearly see the difference in the slide as he has increased his stats in virtually every major category in basically the same amount of minutes. The biggest […]
The Suns have been the surprise of the NBA, standing at 6-4 with wins against quality teams despite being projected to be among the league’s worst teams. They’ve even hung tough with projected top teams such as the Lakers, Jazz, and Nuggets, losing by only a point in 2 of those matchups. The main reason […]
