The Philadelphia 76ers are sitting atop of the Eastern Conference at a scorching 6-1 record, and they’ve won games without a healthy roster. Against the Charlotte Hornets, Philly rested LeBron James and Joel Embiid due to injury management. Preserving these two players for the postseason is the smartest idea the Sixers could do, considering James’s age and Embiid’s injury history. In their absence, franchise superstar Tyrese Maxey dropped 38 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assist

There are a few legends that are still playing in the NBA, but they played like they were in their primes this week. Stephen Curry had 31 points and 8 three pointers against the Lakers, and he also delivered a jaw dropping crossover on Luka Doncic. The 38 year-old phenom still is the face of Golden State, and the world knows it. Kevin Durant dropped 28 points and delivered a massive poster dunk on Daniel Gafford. KD is also 38 years old but still one of the most unstoppable

The Philadelphia 76ers had their best offseason of all time, and it’s already showing early in this 2026-27 NBA season. Philly is off to a quick 2-0 start, and both wins were absolute statements. The fact that this Sixers team hasn’t established long chemistry yet is terrifying. They started the season by defeating the defending champion New York Knicks on their ring and banner night. New York was supposed to win that game, with everything being about their celebration of b

The Philadelphia 76ers hosted an open scrimmage at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday, and I was able to see the new squad up close and personal. After adding Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, Philly’s team looks like a championship contender. The event is usually held in Delaware where their G-League affiliate Blue Coats play, but they moved the event to Philadelphia to accommodate their fans. More than 10,000 fans packed out the arena, and proceeds from ticket sales went to

In July, LeBron James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in a blockbuster move. It was one of the biggest moves in the offseason, alongside the Jaylen Brown move to Philly as well. In a recent podcast episode with NBA legend Steve Nash, James said this about his reasons to play for the Sixers. "He's done everything in our league, and the only thing he has not done is win a championship. And I want to try to help him get that first one," James said. "He has a city on his ba

The Brodie is bouncing; Russell Westbrook has officially retired from basketball. And it’s a damn shame that he had to go out like that. Despite being a member of the NBA’s Top 75, a former NBA MVP, a nine-time NBA All-Star, a nine-time All-NBA performer, a 3x NBA assists champion and a 2x NBA scoring champion, Westbrook became a punchline on his way out the door. The fact that Russ currently ranks first amongst point guards all-time in points scored, first in rebounds, first

Less than a week ago, folks like me were absolutely convinced that LeBron James would be signing with the Golden State Warriors in free agency. Given how often James stressed the importance of family and wanting to be present for his daughter in his ways he couldn’t be for his two older sons, shooting up Interstate-5 to play his twilight years in Golden State - where he’d only be an hour-long flight away from his wife and kids – seemed like a layup. Draymond Green had already

As the final seconds ticked away in Game 4 of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ season-ending loss to the New York Knicks, thousands of Cavs fans begrudgingly shuffled their way out of Rocket Arena with the same single thought racing through their minds: LeBron James will save us again. This season, even at the ripe age of 41, LeBron proved he still has a lot left in the tank. He averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists across 60 games acting as the de facto third option wit

It’s a day which will live in infamy in Lakerland. Before that night, the Los Angeles Lakers were seen as dark horse championship contenders. Since the NBA All-Star break, they were ranked No. 6 in offensive efficiency and No. 11 in defensive efficiency. The club had just completed a 15-2 stretch in the month of March, their winningest month as a franchise since 2000. Luka Doncic was averaging 40 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game over his previous 13 contests. The vib
