The Eagles defense was a mixed bag on their first drive of the game, but they were able to force the Vikings to kick a field goal thanks to a botched third-down snap and Azeez Ojulari chasing down the fumble. Shortly after that, however, Ojulari ended up heading in to the locker room and was […]

The Houston Rockets second iteration of the Victor Oladipo trade was far more intriguing than the original trade back in 2021. At that time, the franchise was desperate to reach postseason play, after trading away their All-NBA backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The team hoped Oladipo and John Wall could rewind the hands […]

In the 1980’s Europeans and other international players began to migrate to the NBA. Guys like Detlef Schrempf, Vlade Divac and Šarūnas Marčiulionis began to leave strong impressions.

One down, four to go. (Or, four to go for now, as we can never count out the possibility of late-breaking, oddly-timed WNBA decisions.)

The hire, which initially […]

When Dallas traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers last winter, fans were outraged. When Anthony Davis, who came over from LA in the trade, was injured, that was bad.
