Share this: It isn’t uncommon for NBA superstars to leave in free agency. LeBron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010 to join the Miami Heat, and Kevin Durant said sayonara to the Oklahoma City Thunder in favor of the Golden State Warriors following the 2016 NBA playoffs. However, Durant’s new teammate and reigning two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry doesn’t plan on joining that fraternity. The star point guard is eligible to be a free agent in July but isn’t contemplating leaving the Warriors, according to Tim Kawakami of The Mercury News. “Like I’ve said from Day 1 when I was first asked about free agency, this is a perfect place to play,” Curry told Kawakami. “Bay Area fans are amazing, our organization’s amazing, we’ve put

Here’s Why A Nerlens Noel-To-Celtics Trade Makes Sense For Boston, 76ers
Share this: ‘Tis the season for NBA trade rumors, and you can add Nerlens Noel to the wish list. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has become the league’s trade target de jour, and with good reason. After missing the first two-plus months of the season due to a knee injury, Noel returned last week only to find himself the odd man out in Philly’s crowded frontcourt. That led to Noel’s postgame rant after playing just eight minutes Friday, which led to head coach Brett Brown removing him from the Sixers’ rotation completely. With both Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid ahead of him on the depth chart, it sure looks like Noel won’t be in Philly much longer. So, to which team can the 22-year-old

Watch Paul Pierce Get CPR From Chris Paul After Hilarious Missed Dunk
Share this: Paul Pierce still has a bit of basketball left in him, even if he needs some help once in a while. Pierce, who is in the midst of his 19th and final season in the NBA, tried to slam home a dunk during the second quarter of the Los Angeles Clippers’ game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, but he was fouled and missed.

Barack Obama Shouts Out J.R. Smith For Wearing Shirt During Cavs’ White House Vi…
Share this: The Cleveland Cavaliers were honored at the White House on Thursday, and they all showed up in their best formal attire. Even J.R. Smith. The Cavs shooting guard went on quite a few shirtless escapades after Cleveland won its first NBA Championship in June, including partying in Las Vegas after Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors, riding through the Cavs’ victory parade and even playing a round of golf. But Smith kept his shirt on for his trip to Washington, D.C., and President Barack Obama was thankful for the gesture. You can’t really come back from getting roasted by the leader of the free world, but, hey, at least Smith’s an NBA champ. Thumbnail photo via Geoff Burke/USA TODAY Network More Stories Source link
Iman Shumpert Simply Cannot Believe The White House Podium Is Portable
Share this: Sometimes, the smallest things in life can leave us in wonder. Just ask Iman Shumpert, whose Cleveland Cavaliers paid a visit to the White House on Thursday to celebrate their 2016 NBA championship. As is custom, the Cavs posed for a group photo with Barack Obama, but the president’s podium was in the shot, so he had some staffers move it. Seems pretty routine, right? Not so for Shumpert, who was downright amazed when Obama’s aides magically whisked the podium away. Good luck finding anything that will leave you in as much awe as this momentous event left Shumpert. What makes this even better is that Shumpert’s teammates don’t seem to share his wonderment, leaving him looking around as if to say, “Is anyone
