The difference between The NFL and NBA is we get to know NBA players more personally. The league does a good job of promoting the players and their personalities. Lebron is the Golden child prodigy who's met every expectation but stills wears a durag with no hair, Westbrook is the hyper competitive guy who might murder you while wearing skinny jeans and James Harden is a stat sheet stuffer who puts up his best stats in Houston strip clubs. The one player the league doesn’t have to promote is Lonzo Ball his father has been doing that since he was just a twinkle in Lavars eye. Lavar: “Lonzo was the fastest sperm out of all the division one sperms i got swimming down there, that’s how i knew he was going to be special he won his first race by a mile. Before i even finished that boy was already comfy in that egg”. That’s what i picture a conversation with Lavar about Lonzo would be like because all he did since we met the guy was sell lonzo as this basketball savant who t...

This NBA offseason has been so wild it’s stolen the top headlines from the first two weeks of the NFL season with KD’s burner account and Kyries pseudo kobe moment on first take. This trend continued when our commander and tweets revoked steph curry’s invitation to the white house… after steph said he didn’t want to go, the president then called the NFL players S.O.B and not in the cool Stone Cold Steve Austin way either. Buried in between all of this sports vs politics the President of the Mid range mafia Carmelo Anthony was traded for Enes Kanter, Doug Mcdourmet and a 2nd round draft pick.

We may say he isn’t and name 15-20 guys better than him, ( Dam sure not 63) all that matters is Car...

Whether the Celtics and  Cavs trade gets finalized,hopefully this is the last season we talk about loyalty in sports. I’m not saying there is no loyalty between the players or even the coaching staff and the players but that’s where the cut off begins. Look at the contrast of the biggest offseason moves of the last two season. In 2016 Kevin durant signed with the Golden State Warriors and was destroyed by the internet and sport personalities for not being “loyal”, after playing in OKC for 9 years, taking them to their very first NBA finals and was a focal point in the community during the Tornado that devastated the OKC area. This off season the Celtics are in the process of trading Isaiah thomas for kyrie irving. If you missed last season isaiah thomas only Averaged 30 ppg and led the NBA in 4th quarter scoring. Those are only numbers though. Isaiah showed his heart to the world last season when he played in the Celtics first playoff game a day after the death of his younger...
