We'll call them the ageless stars because right now Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and a few others couldn't care less if they are 35+. #nba #basketball

Where did Ryan Rollins come from? I look up and he's averaging 16.7 PPG, shooting the hell out of it and is looking almost like Milwaukee's second best player. Now that's a bit much but as a clear Most Improved Player le

Hats off to Zach LaVine, not only for the journey that he's been on in the NBA but for, at the time of recording, averaging 29.5 PPG on 50/40/90 splits. #nba

Wemby has come out this season and looked stupidly good. His Spurs are 4-0 and his averages are 31 PPG, 13.75 RPG, 4.75 BPG - that's all you need to know. And the fact that he's making the most ridiculous plays happen at

The season is here so it's only right to force myself to predict the award winners before the season begins. Yes some may be obvious but there are some wildcards in here as well.

The offseason always has plenty of moves but these are the players who when I look at them and their new team I think, you know what, that's great for both sides.

Nobody expected the Pacers to make the Finals just like nobody is expecting these teams too either. It's a long shot, but I wanted to have fun the conversation and see which underdog Eastern Conference teams I thought co

Ja Morant's comeback, Luka the MVP, when will the old heads start to decline? The season is here and I have 8 storylines I find the most interesting at this very point in time.

After winning her 4th MVP in 8 seasons I need to know if A'ja Wilson is the GOAT because from my knowledge and from reading her achievements all before the age of 30... I don't know how you beat that.

The Golden State Valkyries, the best WNBA expansion team ever. You can't argue the facts. First expansion team to make the Playoffs in year one and ALSO, they broke a league wide attendance record... awesome stuff.

What's next for Devin Booker? He's been the alpha, the man on his team, he's tried the stacking with stars, now he's back as the number 1 guy in Phoenix and I want to see him thrive.

I'm hearing people talking up Nikola Topic, the man who hasn't played a single NBA game, as a potential Sixth Man Of The Year candidate and that caught me completely off guard, so I had to research him more.

Los Angeles is always a 'happening' place. Especially with LeBron, Luka, Harden, Kawhi and now Bradley Beal. I'm fascinated what this season looks like for both the Lakers and Clippers.

Paige Bueckers. She just moves differently out there. Her art form. Her mid range. Her personality off the court - does everyone, even opposition members like her? It sure feels that way.

Yes I know Kobe Bufkin but do I REALLY know Kobe Bufkin? No, so as part of a different kind of episode I dived into who Kobe is and his situation in the league right now. Injuries, 3PT shooting, an aggressive Summer Leag

Damian Lillard is wired differently then most superstars. Loyalty, even to a fault, and I respect it so much. He's back with the Trail Blazers and Chris Paul is back as a Clipper as well. I talk about the two separate ho

I'm here in Las Vegas witnessing the beauty of the Summer League with all that it is so I wanted to talk about my favourite moments, plays, players... all of it, so far as we are 4 days into the 11 day tournament.

Everyone expected Paige to be a stud from the word go but an All-Star in year one? That's impressive. Also I can't help myself, I'm diving into the Angel Reese conversation and giving her some love plus, my favourite und

As a Utah fan I am stoked. Ace Bailey could be anything, Walter Clayton Jr. seems like a stud already. Job well done Jazz.

There's only one technical winner and that is the Thunder but what Indiana did deserves a mountain of respect. Nobody thought they'd do this and to see how it ended with Haliburton's injury was tough to watch.
