I wrote about the legacy of Chris Paul and how he was unapologetically himself throughout his career www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

The thing that I will always remember Chris Paul's playing days for is trying to unapologetically squeeze out every single edge. I got to talk to him one-on-one once, for a fun story on how he was one of the league's premier sign stealers: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

For the morning crowd, my solution to curb tanking? Good old fashioned shame. Here are my Shame Power Rankings, forgiving the ethical tanks and shining a light on the shameless ones: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

This month's games have taught me one thing. We need to bring back shame. Here are my Shame Power Rankings, breaking down how ethical each team's tank in the bottom 10 has been: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

This is how you win a tank off

Here are my Wizards and Mavericks grades for the AD trade. Seems like I'm way lower than consensus on the Wizards 🤷‍♂️ www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Four years ago, the Bulls were in first place in the East. AK traded away the entire top 6 from that roster, all of them too late. The only first round pick he received was the team's own in 2025, in exchange for DeRozan, LaVine, Ball, Vooch, Caruso, and Coby White.

The Bulls made three minor trades over the past few days that showed a major change in philosophy. Why I like what they're doing, and what they're getting in Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/chica...

I like the Harden and Garland trade for both sides. Instant grades: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Graded the Nikola Vucevic-Anfernee Simons trade for the Celtics and Bulls: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Here's who I think All-Star reserves should be in each conference: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

ICYMI, I built a contracts tool that projects what every player in the NBA is worth vs what they are paid. Here's what it says about AD (bad value) and Coby White (good value). Tool is free, zero ads, for the community. Play around with it here! nbasalarymodel.xyz

I built a salary model where you can see every player's value through 2031. Tells you which contracts are good/bad (and by how much), and what fair market value is going forward. Here's what my model says about upcoming free agent Coby White:

Ahead of the trade deadline, I built a salary model to find the 11 worst contracts in the NBA. Here's what it said, and how several contracts for good players are going to look very rough down the line: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

It takes about four minutes to call your representatives using 5calls.org, which provides the phone numbers to dial and a script to read. Will calling alone fix this country's issues? Not even close. Will it accomplish more than doomscrolling for the next four minutes? Absolutely yes.

Luka Garza is a real life example of the tortoise and the hare. How the college superstar who was supposedly too slow for the NBA found his place by always giving his all: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/bosto...

Happy Jonathan Kuminga is trade-eligible day to all those who celebrate. Here's the three-team trade that I'd like to see that gets Kuminga to Sacramento and MPJ to the Warriors: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

My Hawks and Wizards grades for the Trae Young trade: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Here are my favorite landing spots for Trae Young: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

There's been a lot of talk about Hawks' play with and without Trae Young. Not enough focus on their play with and without Kristaps Porzingis.

Luke Kornet was a beloved role player in Boston, and he's doing the same in San Antonio. It wasn't always that way. I spoke to Kornet about dark times early in his career, the process of reinventing himself, and how he found success by embracing joy: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/san-a...

Mitch Johnson says that there's no hard minutes limit on Victor Wembanyama in Atlanta, but the Spurs need to be mindful. Expects him to play a few more minutes tonight.

Nobody wants to shoot a transition layup over Wemby

LaMelo Ball takeover in the last two-ish minutes to get the Hornets the win over the Hawks. Hornets ran the same action for him every time - Stack out for Knueppel, followed by a ballscreen by Diabate to get him the space he needed to work with.

Find someone in your life that cheers for you as loudly as Eric Collins cheers for the Hornets

I ranked the top NBA rookies with 1/3 of the regular season in the books: www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/...

Beautiful ATO from Billy Donovan using the "screen below stay below" tactic to beat the Cavs coverage and create an easy dunk. Watch Huerter - screening low, then sealing his man to create an easy path to the rim when the Cavs switch.

How did Anunoby make this shot??

Eight foot wingspan

Wemby torched the Knicks for 42 and 18 the last time he played them, with KAT as his primary defender. Knicks are staying away from that tonight, putting Anunoby on him to start and having Mitchell Robinson guard him now.

What a pass from KAT

With 2025 wrapping up, @sportingnews.com has named its Male Athlete of the Year: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. How the star was made, using a unique training regimen including studying YouTube videos ranging from Michael Jordan to Al Jefferson (!): www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/oklah...

Pels shot 24% from 3 and still beat the Bulls by double-digits. They're 2-0 against Chicago, 3-22 against the rest of the league There are 10 teams with worse season records, but nobody has been worse than the Bulls over the past three weeks.

Loved seeing this from Vit Krejci. Game on the line, Grimes is waving like a lunatic to try and target Krejci. Sixers get Krejci switched onto Paul George with nowhere to hide, clear out an entire side of the floor. Krejci plays perfect D, Hawks get the win.
