  • Jalen Brunson Turning Heads

    Nico Harrison was big news to the public when the Dallas Mavericks first let him go of his duties as a general manager. As a former Nike executive, he oversaw one of the biggest trades in the 21st century by trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 1st round pick. Doncic had such a big year by leading the league in points and converting 47.6% of his field goals.

    Doncic is truly an international legend, already, but besides him, Nico Harrison, and the newest plug to the Mavericks front office, former ESPN analyst Mike Schmitz. Jalen Brunson is turning heads in this year’s NBA postseason.

    Say what you want about Doncic, Harrison, and Schmitz, but Brunson has taken a commanding 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in the postseason and keeps adding to the load of potential the Knicks came off last year between the Indiana Pacers.

    If the Sixers series were to be over today (which is possible), the Knicks would face either the Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pistons have a 2-1 lead.

    But, talk about the load of potential on Brunson. He has converted 86.4% of his free throws and is the 3rd leading PPG postseason scorer. Him and Karl Anthony Towns have been consistent without OG Anunoby in the lineup and seem to be just having fun lighting up the garden, especially the media.

    No better days could mean Mike Brown is not on the hot seat.

  • Coach Kerr Indebted to Golden State, Forever

    It was just announced after 13 NBA seasons coach Steve Kerr sat down with owner Joe Lacob, and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr for a meeting. Only one can imagine how that went.

    Along the way, Kerr won four NBA championships with the likes of Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, Andre Iguodala, and so much unbelievable talent. Kerr could not been blessed into a situation casted by the famous trio. He knew when to pinpoint pick or pass beginning in the ultra NBA days known as Chicago.

    Chicago meant home. It meant a masterpiece to Kerr as he took and created in Golden State (not known as the triangle).

    Prior to the job with Golden State, NBA legendary figure Phil Jackson had reached out to Kerr for a head coaching gig with the New York Knicks. Kerr outright refused and chose the New York Knicks.

    Rumors leaked he did it for the location of his family but ultimately built one in Golden State. The coach meets with staff again next week.

    Absolutely all coaches’ contracts expire after this season and Kerr has a decision to make. Does he take a break and tests his abilities on the open market? Or does he return for a fourteenth NBA season of basketball.

    Although nothing is confirmed, Yahoo Sports is reporting that the job is under consideration and Kerr will proceed meticulously with matters’ rights. Kerr is 60 years old and if he wants to make an impression, he makes it look too easy.

    GS forever..

  • Tyrese Maxey will Learn from Celtics Defeat

    Tyrese Maxey had it all figured out last night against the Boston Celtics. Maxey thought he was going to buy an easy ticket from Boston and win in Philadelphia. Well, not so fast younger Maxey.

    The game seemed to turn loose for Maxey in the waning stages after Boston withheld a small deficit. Maxey was dribbling, penetrating, and losing his sanity all at the same time.

    Maxey is the Philadelphia 76ers best player for a reason and other than LeBron James, he and VJ Edgecomb play clutch. This paradigm has shifted quickly without Embiid in the lineup.

    Embiid had a vasectomy done just weeks prior to the NBA Playoffs and Maxey has proved his point. He emerges from the tunnel a leader and leaves proud as a student willing to learn every time Maxey faints or turns a good curve.

    He will learn under not one process. He will learn from his failures and rise up like the rest of Philadelphia and feel rejuvenated for the next test in which is no easy task.

  • Wemby Playing to his Last Second

    Victor Wembanyama witnessed one of the worst tragedies last year at 21 years of age. He experienced a blood clot. Fast forward to the 2026 NBA Playoffs, Wemby is having the time of his life with his fellow teammates that include Stephon Castle, D’Andre Fox, and Dylan Harper.

    The Spurs play with a collection of guards that can spread the court and nail buckets. Wemby is not doing anything keen to jinx the magic. Wemby averaged 25 PTS, 11.5 REB, and 51.5 FG% in the regular season.

    Now he is continuing his good play at a shot of the NBA Finals. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers on Sunday, 111-98. They need to defend Scoot Henderson and Demi Avdija better but that has been Wemby’s special quality this year.

    All 100 voters unanimously named Wembanyama Defensive Player of the Year and what’s better is Wemby stands a shot at the MVP race with Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous Alexander.

    Wendy attained the award by leading the league in blocks (3.1) and taking care of stocks (steals+blocks). His 8-foot wingspan has been able to tell the rest of his story.

    Wemby is a hard nosed competitor who enters his third-year very capable. These are the moments San Antonio fans live for.
