HOF PG Chris Paul was traded yesterday by the Phoenix Suns in a package that also includes Landry Shamet & multiple 2nd round picks to the Washington Wizards for star SG Bradley Beal.

So many things to unpack.

When Keeping It Hood Goes Wrong: Ja Morant and Jack Jones

When people get famous and come into money, they already have a slight ego. Some try to embrace their success in the right way. Some channel their inner evil and let karma run its course. There are even those who balance out the goods and evils in their lives.

Top 3 NBA Free Agents

The NBA offseason is here and phones are ringing off the hook in front offices across the league. Everyone is looking to increase their win totals from the previous season, some even feeling they’re one piece away from an NBA Championship. Some teams will find their perfect fit. Others will overpay and wind up in financial prison.

NBA OFFSEASON NEEDS: PHOENIX SUNS

The Suns (PHX) can retain basically their entire roster from a season ago (where they were ousted by DEN in GM6/2nd round of the NBA Playoffs. They went down 0-2 early in the series only to win the next two on their home court. Unfortunately for them, that was it. They lost the next two, including being on the wrong side of history with yet another historic loss on their home floor when facing elimination (going down +30 at one point on the way to a 25 point defeat).

Dem Apples: Kendrick Perkins Forced to Eat Apple Flavored Crow

The reason I have centered my crosshairs on Kendrick Perkins is because of his blatant disregard for unity at all. Perkins in a way is old school. He still feels that he is better than everyone else, even in this era of NBA play. He has not held back for his disdain for players like Draymond Green and Nikola Jokic.

With all that has gone down both on the court and on the ice, I figured this would be a good time to size up the status of both The NBA Finals as well as The Stanley Cup Final. Just a quick one to give everyone a refresher to prepare for what could be a wild weekend for The Summer of Sports.

If This Is It, Is LeBron Considered The GOAT?

“If you really want to nitpick LeBron’s time with the Lakers, there are some points you can start with. But let’s be real: LeBron’s basketball legacy is safe. He could walk away tomorrow and still have a real ‘greatest of all time argument.’ If anything, even after it ended in a sweep, this postseason run probably helped the legacy.” (Bailey, 2023)

The Finals: East Coast Swing vs. Rocky Mountain Way

We have finally arrived. After months of back and forth between the NBA and NHL, we have reached the grand finale of both. And it does seem ironic that 2023 brings us two sets of finals that we can actually feel good about. In both finals, we have the clash of ultimate underdogs and ultimate opportunists. In both finals, we got teams that were not even supposed to be there.
