Things are unusually quiet on the NBA Draft front. The college season is long over and the NBA Draft lottery is a painful two weeks away. So forgive me for being more than a little irrationally intrigued by Shaedon Sharpe, the No. 1 recruit in the 2022 class who decided to declare for the NBA

Not only are the Detroit Pistons bringing back the teal horse of the 90s as a Classic Edition jersey next season, but it appears that the team is finally saying goodbye to the “chrome” aka dishwater gray Statement jerseys of the past several seasons. You know the ones. James Edwards of The Athletic dropped the

The 2022 NBA Draft just got a little deeper with reports surfacing that Shaedon Sharpe, one of the most buzzed about prospects for the past year is forgoing his college eligibility and will stay in the NBA Draft despite never playing a minute for the University of Kentucky. Sharpe’s eligibility requires final approval from the

You know what sucks? Laundry. Doing laundry is awful because it is inevitable. You watch your pants, shirts, and socks pile up, preferably in but often around the hamper over the course of a week(s), and you just know what’s coming next. It’s a chore, but a necessary one because clean clothes feel like new

The first night of the NBA Playoffs did not disappoint, and Day 2 might be even more intriguing. The Boston Celtics face the Brooklyn Nets, and the winner of the series might be the presumptive favorite to represent the East in the NBA Finals. Of course, the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks are going to have

Things have not gone well for Detroit Pistons fans since the close of the Pistons’ season. More specifically, Paul George fell into health and safety protocols, the Clippers’ best healthy player was forced to miss the team’s play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Clippers blew a fourth-quarter lead to give New Orleans

Opinions on Cade Cunningham’s defense range from great, to average, to bad to “Cade plays defense? Hadn’t noticed.” We are not going into this breakdown considering anything beyond the court — it’s not part of building up or tearing down Cade’s case for Rookie of the Year. I simply wanted to see how he looked

Not since Grant Hill. Not since Michael Jordan. Not since Magic Johnson. The superlatives you can heap upon Cade Cunningham are numerous. He’s had a fantastic rookie season, and as he continued to produce, the names associated with his feats have gotten mor impressive. And yet … And yet, he will certainly not be named
