Ever since former MVP and 4 time scoring champion, Kevin Durant, left his Oklahoma City Thunder and signed with the Golden State Warriors, the Dubs had all but clinched a third straight Finals berth. Their only real competition would have been Durant’s Thunder but the future Hall of Famer’s departure made Golden State’s path to…
The NBA Finals is where legends are born. They’re where a player can truly make his mark on NBA history and solidify his greatness, or show the world that they can’t perform where it truly matters, when the NBA Championship is at stake.

It’s no secret that the Warriors have an explosive offense. In fact, most sane people would say it’s the best in the NBA, maybe of all-time. The 2015-16 Warriors scored 114.9 points per game. The last time a team hit this mark was the 1991-92 season. By the way, they added one of the best…
There’s always this immediate scoffing towards analytics. I’m not even referring to the stuff that takes these massive formulas to make such as usage percentage, win shares, etc. (We’ll get to those at some point.) Many of the analytics scoffed at are things such as points per possession on ISO plays or the fact that…
Kevin Durant has made arguably the biggest splash ever in the history of free agency. Many would argue LeBron’s decision to go to Miami or back to Cleveland was greater, but I would argue against it. If Durant moved to the Clippers, Knicks, or even the Celtics, it would not have been as big of…
Now that the draft has concluded and some moves were made that have some teams looking much different than they did a week ago, we look to free agency, beginning at 12:01 AM on July 1st. Every team needs an upgrade somewhere, whether it’s a star center or a backup point guard. I’m going to…

Yesterday (I’m writing this on 6/22) I said on Twitter to ask any sports questions and I’d answer as many as I could. The questions can be about baseball, basketball or football. I’m going to try and group similar questions together. Let’s get started. The topic asked about most is the NBA Draft, which…
