In a recent press event to promote his new memoir Unguarded, Scottie Pippen made headlines once again to dig up the past to fuel his ongoing feud with Michael Jordan. During this conversation, he went on to reveal that he thought LeBron James was the greatest player in basketball. Now, Pippen is denying he ever called LeBron James the true GOAT. In another interview, he has seemingly changed his mind and is now saying that there is no such thing as a “GOAT” in team games such as basketball. He shared, “There’s no greatest in a team sport. Let me get that clear… There’s no greatest in baseball. There’s no greatest in football. There’s no greatest in basketball. There may be a greatest in golf. There may be a greatest in tennis and maybe some other individual sports that I can’t think of rig...

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors are proving to be championship worth with their current record of 12-2 in the NBA‘s Western Conference. After a major upset win against the Brooklyn Nets and Curry’s former teammate Kevin Durant, the Warriors are reminding fans that they are not backing down from any challenge. Post-win against the Nets, Curry spoke to reporters and entertained the idea of having Klay Thompson and James Wiseman back on the court. When discussing their progress, Curry said, “You got Klay Thompson and James Wiseman back at home playing 5-on-5 getting ready. So that’s a great problem to have.” He also revealed that their current rotations are the reason why they have seen great success so early on in the season, “That is the challenge of what we have in terms of balan...

Disney may be venturing into sports betting, according to a report from Forbes. Rather than setting up its own betting platform, the company — officially titled the Walt Disney Company — is planning to become involved with gambling via a partnership with ESPN. “We’re also moving towards a greater presence in online sports betting, and given our reach and scale, we have the potential to partner with third-parties in this space in a very meaningful way,” said Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek on Wednesday during a conference call, Forbes reported. The opportunity may present some challenges for the family-friendly company. A former ESPN executive told The Hollywood Reporter that Disney waited longer than its competitors to advertise sports betting firms and still doesn’t place ads for cryptocurrency t...

DeMar DeRozan joined Alex Caruso in opening up on his previously potential Los Angeles Lakers deal during the NBA free agency period. In a talk with Yahoo Sports‘ Chris Haynes, the forward discussed the initial possibility that fell through and how it turned out quite well with the Chicago Bulls. DeRozan indicated that he thought that the contract was already a “done deal,” before the Lakers eventually traded Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma and the draft rights to Isaiah Jackson for Russell Westbrook and three future second-round picks from the Washington Wizards. “I felt like going to the Lakers was a done deal and that we were going to figure it out. I was going to come home,” said DeRozan. “The business side of things just didn’t work out. A couple of things ...

Staples Center, the home stadium for the Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Sparks, is getting a new name this Christmas. From December 25 onwards, the historic Los Angeles stadium will officially be known as Crypto.com Arena, with a new logo set to debut at the Lakers vs Nets Christmas home game. Crypto.com is a popular crypto exchange with an NFT section with over 10 million users, and partnerships deals with the likes of the UFC, Formula 1, PSG, Twitch Rivals, and the Lakers and Kings home teams. The exchange paid more than $700 million USD for 20 years of naming rights, which vastly overshadows Staples Inc.’s $100 million purchase for 10 years of naming rights in 1997. Staples later signed a deal to retain the rights in perpetuity before AEG bought the naming rights back for an undisclos...

The latest saga in the Scottie Pippen-driven feud with Michael Jordan, Pippen has now released his new memoir, Unguarded, revealing a slew of controversies. The six-time NBA champion and former teammate of MJ continues to try to defame Jordan by calling him an ungratefully selfish player. He also goes into detail targeting Charles Barkley and Isiah Thomas. According to an excerpt from Pippen’s book, the former Chicago Bulls forward seems to be opening up old wounds writing, “I may go as far to say Mike ruined basketball. In the 80s on the playgrounds, you’d have everyone moving the ball around — passing to help the team. That stopped in the 90s. Kids wanted to be ‘Like Mike.’ Well, Mike didn’t want to pass — didn’t want to rebound, or defend the best player. He wanted everything done for h...
