A Milwaukee native, Davis covers the Bucks and the NBA (along with the NFL and WWE) in a soft-spoken style that blends insightful analysis with passion and humour. But that’s just the half of it. A hoop-head since childhood—from MJ to NBA Live to winning an “Eat and Greet” with Malcolm Brogdon—Davis knows the game not just as a media ...

As the Detroit Pistons negotiate with star Jalen Duren drags into its third month, an end may finally be in sight.

Sasha Vezenkov’s NBA career lasted only one season, but the Olympiacos star believes his experience with the Sacramento Kings ultimately made him a better player. Vezenkov arrived in Sacramento in 2023 after establishing himself among Europe’s elite players. However, his role under Mike Brown proved limited during the 2023-24 season. He appeared in 42 games, […] The post Sasha Vezenkov reflects on difficult Kings experience appeared first on TalkBasket.net.

Those months have been spectacular, which is why everyone was gathered this hot August afternoon for Jaylen Brown’s introductory news conference. But it was the children, gathered en masse, who put the day — and the entire summer — into context. As Gansey greeted them, shaking hands, taking photos and smiling endlessly, one stepped forward with a question that encapsulated everything. “Are you the one who got us LeBron?” Yes, Gansey is the guy who got them LeBron. But first, he had to get Jay...

The Houston Rockets’ Kevin Durant is nearly perfect. Could he perfect his game this year?

The Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors have yet to formalize their trade involving Kawhi Leonard for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first round picks and a pick swap. The deal has been hold pending the results of the NBA's investigation into alleged cap circumvention by the Clippers with Leonard. Because Leonard was not suspended and was merely fined, the Raptors presumably would be comfortable executing the trade. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that the trade remains on ...

Entering his fourth season, Tristan Vukcevic faces competition for even the limited minutes he’s played the past three seasons. | Getty Images When the Wizards selected Tristan Vukcevic with the 42nd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, I thought it was something of a steal.

Not exactly high but perhaps a bit higher than would be the norm for a s...

Angel Reese has officially mastered the most important skill in basketball: Missing your own shot and grabbing the rebound. The internet has already given it a name. “Mebounds.” And honestly, you have to respect the commitment. Reese has been one of the WNBA’s most prolific rebounders since entering the league, but the jokes about her…

Victor Wembanyama's decision to take less money could lead to a title for the Spurs.

We are entering a new era in Boston Celtics basketball. You can argue guys like Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, Ron Harper Jr., and Amari Williams all had breakout seasons in a way last season. With Jayson Tatum out for most of the year, these guys got a chance to play more minutes and were solid contributors for different stretches throughout the 56-win season. With the addition of 2026 draft picks Chris Cenac Jr. and Dillon Mitchell, the Celtics have a treasure trove of youn...

Caitlin Clark often stirs conversations that transcend her on-the-court performances. When pundits aren’t debating the rivalries that surround her, others describe the vivid tensions or player drama linked to Clark. However, while these storylines can sometimes be beneficial for media houses, Clark argues that some narratives transcend practical realities. Her comments add a different but [...]

Imagine if Michael Jordan had been a few inches taller. That’s not the hypothetical you typically hear. More often, it’s Allen Iverson. Or, it’s Giannis Antetokounmpo with Steph Curry’s jump shot. More broadly, the formula usually involves fixing a player’s lone imperfection to make them the perfect basketball player. Michael Jordan was tall enough. Imagine if he’d been taller. He would have been the perfect basketball player. As it stands, there has never been a perfect basketball player. Th...

The WNBA has plenty of stars. But Sophie Cunningham has figured out how to become impossible to ignore.
