NBA

An incredible weekend of Rising Stars, 3-point specialists, Slam Dunk Champions and the NBA’s brightest stars balling out comes to a dramatic end with Team Giannis edging out Team LeBron in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.

On Feb. 8, 1998, a 19-year-old Kobe Bryant and 34-year-old Michael Jordan clashed on the hardwood of Madison Square Garden. Their duel inside the world’s most famous arena would go down in history as not only a battle between two legends of the game, but also a true “passing of the torch” moment.

When the Nets landed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving back in 2019, they were widely considered the biggest winners of the offseason. Brooklyn had completed a speedy rebuild and appeared to be in a position to compete for multiple championships with Durant and Irving both signed to long-term deals.

Move over, Kyrie Irving. We’ve got an even bigger blockbuster deal to discuss. The Nets are sending Kevin Durant to the Suns in exchange for multiple players and draft picks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

LeBron James made history on Tuesday, surpassing the great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. In need of 36 points to break the record, James went for 38 points against the Thunder on Tuesday, knocking down a classic fadeaway jumper late in the third quarter to secure the scoring crown.
