Heading into the highly anticipated second-round matchup between the Lakers and Warriors, the hype centered around yet another postseason meeting between two all-time greats in LeBron James and Stephen Curry.

Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal didn’t hold back on what he sees the future holding for the NBA’s newest villain, Dillon Brooks.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Monday that the Memphis Grizzlies would not be bringing Brooks back next season “under any circumstances.” During the latest episode of The Big Podcast, the 15-time NBA All-Star bluntly expressed that he believes Brooks will struggle to find another team willing to sign him.

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. is an immensely gifted athlete. As evidence, look no further than the incredible balance he displayed in successfully stealing his 14th base of the season.
In the top of the sixth inning against Miami on Tuesday night, the three-time All-Star went head over heels—literally.

The Miami Heat had the New York Knicks on the brink of a devastating loss in Game 2 of their second round series in the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The Heat were playing without Jimmy Butler, the injured star who has powered their run as a No. 8 seed throughout this postseason. Oh yeah, Miami also lost Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo to injury over the last couple weeks. The HEat already had a 1-0 series lead, but no one thought they could pull off a Game 2 win without Butler.
