Last weekend, once the NBA Finals matchup was officially set between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, I wrote about why I believe this is the perfect NBA Finals for the NBA. You have the future face of the league in Victor Wembanyama, who has already established himself as arguably the best player in basketball, going up against one of the sport's most iconic franchises in the league's biggest market. New York is a basketball-starved city looking for their baske
The other day I was scrolling through social media, as I usually do, when I came across a post with a simple caption saying the following: "It's cool to care." The post featured two images. One was of Victor Wembanyama's emotional reaction after the San Antonio Spurs upset the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road to reach the NBA Finals. The other was from Timothée Chalamet's acceptance speech at the 2025 SAG awards where he won Most Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a
For most of this NBA season, it felt like a foregone conclusion that the Oklahoma City Thunder were going to be back in the NBA Finals and be competing for a second straight championship. After all, this was a team that came into the season as the defending champions. They started the year on an incredible run, opening the season at 24-1 and conversations began about whether they could challenge the historic 73-win record set by the Golden State Warriors during the 2015-16 se
The 2026 NBA Finals are officially set, and honestly, I don't think the league or we fans could have asked for a better matchup. For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals. Standing in their way? The same franchise they faced 27 years ago... The San Antonio Spurs. Over the last several years, the NBA Finals have lacked a certain level of excitement that many fans became use to having during the LeBron James versus Stephen Curry era in the
I just watched Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. This very well could be the swing game in who wins the NBA championship this year, as a lot of people do think whoever wins this series will end up beating the New York Knicks in the Finals. I won’t go as far as that yet, because the Knicks have been playing excellent basketball, but that’s besides the point. This is just a huge game in terms of who’s going to have
Listen, I know Adam Silver and the NBA have taken a lot of criticism over the past few years, even from a guy like me who loves the league. I've had my fair share of issues with it, whether it be the play-in tournament, as I think 82 games is enough to decide playoff teams throughout a regular season. Whether it's the NBA Cup, which I don't really think has picked up a full head of steam, whether it's how the contract structure is now, or players sitting out more games than t
Tomorrow is Christmas Day, which for many NBA fans has always felt like the unofficial start of the season. For years, this was the moment when football started to wrap up and the NBA fully took the stage. The league would roll out its biggest stars, its best teams, and its most marketable matchups for everyone to watch while spending time with their loved ones. However, that "aura", has felt like it’s been missing a bit in recent years. The NFL has taken over Christmas Day l
The 2025-26 NBA season is shaping up to be one of the most fascinating in recent memory. With powerhouse rosters, rising stars ready to take the next step, and familiar legends still fighting to stay relevant, there’s no shortage of storylines. From the Knicks and Cavaliers emerging as the East’s clear frontrunners to the reigning champion Thunder trying to fend off the hungry Timberwolves and Nuggets out West, the league feels as competitive as ever. Here’s how I see the reg
