Before Their Time Vol. 1

In the NBA’s history, there have been players that simply paved the way for the things we see on the regular today. Back then, those players weren’t as appreciated. — For the first installment of this series, I wanted to shed light on Hall of Famer PG, “Pistol” Pete Maravich. Pete played his college ball at Lousiana State University (LSU) and was lucky enough to be coached by his father where he scored 3,667 points — 1,138 of those in…

Isaiah Austin: Keep Dreaming

Doors are closed on dreams all the time. However, it doesn’t mean those same dreams won’t ever come true. Isaiah is the perfect example of that. — June 26th, 2014. A night Isaiah Austin will never forget. Isaiah, who worked his ass off at Baylor to get to this point, was indeed drafted, but not how he planned it. Austin was diagnosed with “Marfan Syndrome” days before the 2014 NBA Draft, which slammed the doors shut on…

When Roses Grow in Michigan

This is how you give flowers to Detroit’s game-changing citizen, Jalen Rose — When you say “game-changer,” you’re saying that a player is responsible for setting trends that’ll last once they’ve retired. You’re saying that a player's fearlessness and confidence will carry them for their entire career. You’re saying that this player can represent a place (in this case, Detroit, Michigan) to the…

It’s Personal…Probably

We know that Michael Jordan took just about everything personally as a player. As Vice President of Hornets basketball Operations? He’s getting there. — Michael Jordan has been the Hornets VP of basketball operations for almost two decades now and since then, the Hornets have only reached the playoffs twice (2013-14, 2015-16). During these times Jordan has been the brunt of jokes in regards to his decision-making when eying talent. Now, of course, drafting…

Lonzo Ball: Just Getting Started

After just four seasons into his young NBA career, Lonzo Ball is just getting started. — We were introduced to Lonzo Ball in what feels like a long time ago, but it hasn’t. Zo is only 24 and has just completed his fourth NBA season (two in LA, two in NO). He’s steadily improved his game — dating back to when his jump shot covered most…

Midnight Hour: Luka’s Ascension

At 22, the Slovenian baller is already a game-shifting talent, but will Mark Cuban maximize Dončić’s youth and skillset? — If you haven't been living under a rock for the past two years, then you know that there has been a supernova in Dallas wreaking havoc across the NBA. He even lit up the world (literally) at the Olympic games by dragging his team to the semifinals and breaking records…

Buckets in a Winery

If dominating your sport well into your late 30s and early 40s is “aging like fine wine”, Joe Johnson might be a walking winery. — With week four of the BIG 3 taking place this Saturday in Texas, I wanted to take this time to cover one of my favorite Nets players ever in Joe Johnson. Since entering Ice Cube’s BIG 3 basketball league, “Iso Joe” has completely dominated in a fashion that has people…

After a blockbuster trade that ultimately saved his life, Caris LeVert's first full season as a Pacer should be one for the books as the Pacers look to get back to playoff form. — When Caris LeVert was traded from Brooklyn to Indiana no one knew that his basketball career would be in jeopardy. During Caris’s physical, when the trade was finalized, he found out that he had a small mass on his left kidney that would leave him out indefinitely. He had successful…

Fifty for Fifty: Giannis’s Ambition

When you want to achieve your goals, you’ll do anything in your power to make sure it happens. Giannis did just that, and it was truly remarkable to watch. — What an NBA Finals. Six games of incredible shot-making, insane defensive sequences, and incredibly loud environments. Much respect to both the Bucks and Suns for providing us with one hell of a series. The Milwaukee Bucks found themselves down 0-2, but would eventually win four straight en route to the…

Every Team Needs a “Flavor Flav”

In this day and age of basketball, more hype men are needed. Superstars are great, but a good hype man can bring a team together and create much-needed energy. — “Mother**** him and John Wayne!” — Flavor Flav That is one of the most memorable lines from one of the greatest songs in Hip-Hop history, but it didn’t come from “Public Enemy” rapper “Chuck D”. This line came from the greatest hype man ever in “Flavor Flav”. Public Enemy was…
