Here’s the one thing Dwight Howard says you need to work on to be a good defensive player in basketball. Dwight Howard is one of the most skilled defensive players in NBA history. His presence put fear in his opponents and only the brave dared to attack the rim when he was around. Sometimes, a…
The six-time All-Star thinks middies will be good for Zion Williamson. In the early days of his career, Amar’e Stoudemire was one of the scariest players to defend. He was a 6-10, 245-pound power forward who had unlimited NOS containers in his legs (if you’re not a Fast and Furious fan, swap out NOS containers…
Iggy explains why intangibles are valuable. Andre Iguodala was one of the most important players in the Golden State Warriors dynasty (2014-15 to 2018-19). Despite coming off the bench during their first championship run, he was able to win the Finals MVP award. So, how’d he do it? Well, he did it with intangibles.
LMA believes Wembanyama is too skilled and needs to slow down. In his rookie season, Victor Wembanyama showed the NBA world that he could do everything on the hardwood. He has the fundamentals of the game down pat and whatever task Coach Popovich needed to accomplish, he could get it done. Standing at 7-4, the…
White stole skills from Manu Ginobili and Danny Green. If you’ve seen Derrick White play basketball, then you’ve probably noticed that he’s fantastic on both ends of the court. The guy is one of the toughest players to score on and he frequently makes smart plays on offence. Take for example the game he recorded…
He started using a special type of basketball. Believe it or not, Paul George wasn’t a good shooter when he entered the NBA. As a matter of fact, he wasn’t even a good offensive player. He got drafted into the league because of his defensive skills. In his first NBA season, he made 45.3 percent…
Wallace believes more kids should study the career of Brian Scalabrine. Brian Scalabrine was never the most talented player on any of the teams he played for. He wasn’t that athletic, his IQ was subpar and his skills were mediocre (for an NBA player). He spent most of his career coming off of the bench…
Angel Reese holds the record for most consecutive double-doubles. Recording your first double-double is one of the most special things a basketball player can do. But going on a double-double streak and breaking a league record with the streak as a rookie is remarkable. And on July 7, 2024, the Chicago Sky’s top rookie, Angel…
The first rookie to record a triple-double in the WNBA was Caitlin Clark. When Caitlin Clark got drafted into the WNBA in April 2024, many vets said she was going to have a hard time adjusting to the professional game. But as she has proved many times this season, her game suits the WNBA just…
Here’s why… I don’t know why, but I’ve always wanted Chris Paul to join the San Antonio Spurs (which he recently did). Maybe it’s because he’s one of my favourite players and the Spurs are one of my favourite teams. Maybe it’s because he seems like a “Spurs’ player,” ya know? CP3 is unselfish, has…
