LeBron James took a sip of a fan's wine during the 76ers 126-107 win over the Bulls, saying he wanted to try "how good it was."

Luka Doncic's volcanic scoring spree continued Monday with 42 points in the Lakers' 138-117 win over the Heat, prompting Giannis Antetokounmpo to call him "one of the best scorers to play this game" -- "of all time."

The WNBA Finals were the most watched since 1999, with an average of 1.88 million people viewing the seven-game series that Golden State won over Atlanta in a decisive

Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant didn't want to focus on his individual contributions in Monday's 109-93 win over the Boston Celtics.

His Airness had a simple message for the Golden State Valkyries star after her 30-point performance in Game 7.

If you do that with the NBA (82 games), NHL (84) or baseball (162), you’re asking for trouble.

The struggling Heat were blown out by the Lakers on Monday, an ominous start to a five-game road trip. But Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn’t wavered in his belief the team can be a contender this season, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. “Do I think we have the pieces? Yeah,” he said. “Do I […]

Opening day is the most overwhelming day of college basketball all season. There were 118 Division I vs. Division I games, and another batch of Division I teams playing against non-Division I opponents. It’s impossible to have eyes on everything, especially during the 7 p.m. Eastern window. So we asked fans to tell us what they saw from their teams on the first day of action. Here’s what some of them said: Miami is a veteran group that is still very well-coached. We need to get better at rebo...

The WNBA’s growth has been impossible to ignore over the past few seasons, with rising attendance, record viewership, and new franchises adding to the league’s momentum. The 2026 season took that progress another step forward, as the Golden State Valkyries delivered a historic championship run just two years after entering the league.

The WNBA has been on a steep upward trajectory for several years, but this year’s Finals threatened to upend the momentum the league had built. To start, none of the league’s marquee stars reached the championship series. Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever lost in the first round, while A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas…

The Golden State Valkyries are the 2026 WNBA champions, and Kaila Charles shared a message for fans on social media, but one Angel Reese fan was unimpressed. The Atlanta Dream forward played an intense final series, and she had several heated moments on the court.

The Indiana Fever did not have the 2026 season of their dreams. Indiana was eliminated by Las Vegas in a brutal first round exit for the organization. Perhaps the Fever can feel optimistic about the future after the Valkyries’ magical run this season. Fever guard Caitlin Clark heaped praise on the Valkyries for winning a WNBA championship in their […] The post Caitlin Clark breaks silence on Valkyries’ WNBA title with begrudgingly ‘awesome’ admission appeared first on ClutchPoints.
