Steph Curry Explains Why He Does Not Want To Play With LeBron James, “I’m Good Right Now”

In the most recent episode of The Draymond Green Show, Steph Curry sat down with his Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green to discuss his thoughts on the prospect of playing with LeBron James. Last week, James named Curry on his show The Shop, as the one person he would like to play with currently in the NBA. After hearing this, Curry gave a response that raised eyebrows when he appeared to swiftly wipe the thought away with a simple response, “I’m good right now.” In his show, Green asked Curry to elaborate on why he would turn down the reason to play with one of the GOAT in basketball. Curry explained, “It is surreal because I will never be so far removed from this time when I was in Detroit playing in a Sweet 16 game and this dude was in his fourth or fifth season, and he’s comi...

NBA Brings Back Script Logo for 2022 Finals, Sparking Nostalgia From Fans Across Twitter

The NBA has officially brought back its iconic script logo for the 2022 Finals.

Tom Brady Reportedly Only Returned to the Bucs After Miami Dolphins Deal Fell Through

New information has surfaced regarding Tom Brady‘s unretirement. In a recent article from The Boston Globe, Ben Volin reported that Brady initially did want to retire, but had much bigger plans in mind. Brady was slated to become a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins and was working on a deal to join the team’s front office. According to Volin, Brady’s role was said to be similar to Derek Jeter’s role with the Miami Marlins. The partnership would not have been surprising as the quarterback has had a longstanding relationship with the team owner, Stephen Ross. Ross was a large donor and booster and Brady’s alma mater, the University of Michigan. However, the grand plans were placed on a halt when Brian Flores filed a lawsuit the day Brady announced his retirement. The lawsuit called out NF...

Los Angeles Lakers Have Fired Frank Vogel as Head Coach

The Los Angeles Lakers have officially fired Frank Vogel as head coach after a disappointing 33-49 season. Vogel was slated to be under contract until next season, but appears that the now-former head coach has been removed from the roster. On Monday night, Rob Pelink declined to comment on the moves made regarding Vogel stating, “Today is not going to be a day of finger-pointing and unwinding all the specific reasons.

Joel Embiid Officially Clinches 2021-22 NBA Scoring Title

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has officially claimed the 2021-22 NBA scoring title. The Cameroon-born professional basketball player won the title over fierce competition including Milwaukee Bucks‘ Giannis Antetokounmpo and Los Angeles Lakers‘ LeBron James. While James was Embiid’s greatest competition for the title, he was unable to qualify this year due to a sprained ankle that led to a few misses this season. Embiid has become the center to claim the scoring title since Shaquille O’Neal in 1999-2000. He is also the first international player to lead the NBA in scoring, setting yet another record this season. Embiid, who is an MVP candidate, is also center who has averaged more than 30 points in a season since Moses Malone held the record in 1981-82. One thing that is certain is ...

Kyrie Irving Has Finally Spoken Out About His NBA 75 Snub

Within the NBA has cemented himself as one of the best ball-handlers and point guards in the league. However, earlier this season, when the organization unveiled its NBA 75 ranking, Irving was noticeably left off the list. Since the announcement, fans far and wide questioned why this was the case. In October, HYPEBEAST reported that the seven-time All-Star and NBA Champion was supposedly left off the list, despite being one of the best contenders for the list. Fans were quick to point out that online press material was already prepared to announce Irving as one of the top 75, leaving many to wonder why he was no longer appointed. For the first time since the list has been unveiled Irving finally spoke out about the issue, “I think I’ll leave it to the conspiracy theorists. I think I was on...
