The best of the NBA from past to the present
From preseason to playoffs, we cover LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, and the star basketball players of today in our NBA category, but we don’t stop there. We also share the forgotten stories of all-time legends such as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman, and more.
Shaquille O’Neal was one of the most physically dominant and punishing centers in NBA history. But he felt he was being cheated by a flopping Dikembe Mutombo in the 2001 NBA Finals despite giving Deke three stitches on his lip earlier in the series. Mutombo felt the accusations were utterly foolish.
Ben Simmons has some allies in the 76ers locker room after all.
Larry Bird said the Boston Celtics’ biggest rival during his playing days wasn’t the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jayson Tatum made a troubling comment after the Boston Celtics’ embarrassing loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Marvin Barnes didn’t make an impact on the NBA. But he had some legendary performances as a young player in the old ABA.
Charles Barkley and the rest of the Dream Team engaged in ferocious competition during training camp in Monte Carlo ahead of the 1992 Olympic Games. But they also had free time to spend by the pool, where Barkley quickly learned never to drink beers with Larry Bird. He also had a hilarious mischaracterization of Budweiser.
Michael Jordan didn’t hear his name at the Felt Forum inside Madison Square Garden when the Chicago Bulls picked him third overall at the 1984 NBA Draft. The why is the most Jordan reason ever.
James Harden plans to be with the Brooklyn Nets for the foreseeable future.
Ben Simmons might be out of the 76ers lineup for a while.
Shaquille O’Neal got emotional when remembering the late Kobe Bryant during the reveal of the NBA’s 75th-anniversary team. O’Neal recalled what he called Bryant’s “defining moment” during a playoff loss against the Utah Jazz.
