LaVar Ball has ripped, trashed and claimed he could beat about every professional athlete you can think of, and a certain surefire NBA Hall of Famer was next on his list. Rumors swirled this week that LaVar Ball’s son, Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball, had started working out with former Laker Steve Nash, but LaVar Ball put an end to those rumors in an interview with ClutchPoints’ Ryan Ward. “I’d say no,” Ball said. “The reason I say no because if he was, my son would’ve said, ‘You know what I’m working out with Steve Nash’. What Steve Nash going to teach my boy? He’s short and slow, man. Come

Dwyane Wade Has Hilarious Idea On How To Stop Warriors’ Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry has been one of the best players in the NBA over the past three seasons, but one surefire Hall of Famer thinks he knows the secret to stopping “Chef Curry.” Dwyane Wade has won three NBA titles and played with a number of NBA All-Stars, so it stands to reason that he might have a trick up his sleeve to stop the two-time NBA MVP. But Wade’s idea has absolutely nothing to do with defensive strategy, as he explained on Twitter. Not a bad plan, if you ask us. Curry has been torching the league for the past three seasons, averaging 26.4 points, seven assists and more than four 3-pointers
Charles Barkley Sees Potential Big Weakness For Isaiah Thomas, Celtics
Share this: Not every TNT NBA analyst is as high on the Boston Celtics as Kenny Smith. Smith was very complimentary of the C’s on Thursday, saying they are the second-best team in the Eastern Conference with the second-best player — Isaiah Thomas — in the East. But Charles Barkley had a very different view of Boston, and IT was at the center of his reason, too. “Isaiah Thomas has to do so much heavy lifting, just like Russell Westbrook,” Barkley said. “… That to me is the problem and the weakness of the Boston Celtics. Isaiah Thomas, he has to make every important basket. That to me is the weakness of the Boston Celtics.” Barkley went on to name the supporting casts for the Toronto Raptors
Even Shannon Sharpe Thinks Tom Brady Is Greatest Player In NFL History
Share this: Shannon Sharpe is a known New England Patriots hater. Sure, he’s had some praise for Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft and Co. over the years, but the NFL Hall of Famer also has been critical of the Patriots in several instances, leading to a few pretty interesting Twitter dust-ups between him and passionate New England fans. Well, even Mr. Sharpe can’t help but tip his cap after the Patriots completed the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history Sunday to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. In fact, he thinks Brady is the best player the NFL has ever seen. Oh, by the way, Sharpe picked the Falcons to win Sunday during FOX’s pregame coverage.

Why Hall Of Famer Aeneas Williams Sees Himself In Malcolm Butler
Share this: HOUSTON — Aeneas Williams is a Pro Football Hall of Famer who had 55 interceptions in his 14-year NFL career, so he knows a lockdown cornerback when he sees one. And he sees one in Malcolm Butler. “Malcolm had what I had,” Williams told NESN.com’s Rachel Holt on Tuesday on Super Bowl LI Radio Row. “Even though he’s not as tall as someone of the other guys, he’s strong. And I had unusual strength when it came down to bigger receivers. … The thing I love about his game is he competes, and he’s a smart player.” Watch the video above to hear more from Williams, who also showed off his Ring of Excellence, courtesy of Kay Jewelers, and explained why he
Tom Brady Becomes Emotional When Discussing His Dad At Super Bowl LI Media Day
Share this: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is preparing to play in his seventh Super Bowl, but the star signal-caller still gets emotional when he talks about his father. The hardest question that Brady fielded at Super Bowl LI media day might have come from a 7-year-old boy who asked about the future Hall of Famer’s hero. Tom Brady Sr. made news Friday when he expressed his opinion of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, which led to the four-time Super Bowl champion jokingly banning his father from talking to the media. There are few things like the bond between a father and son. Thumbnail photo via Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
Ken Griffey Jr. Thinks David Ortiz ‘Absolutely’ Is A Hall Of Famer
Share this: David Ortiz’s Hall of Fame chances have been a topic of debate long before the Boston Red Sox slugger announced the 2016 season would be his last, but Big Papi got an endorsement from one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday with former New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza, but in his news conference Saturday, Griffey took a moment to talk about Ortiz. The two were part of the Seattle Mariners, who drafted Ortiz, briefly, but it was enough time for Griffey to get a good look at the future Red Sox star. “I got a chance to see him young,” Griffey said, per ESPN.com. “He
