Achieving his Niche: How Jahlil Okafor Found his Place in the League

Liam Romero | February 10th, 2019

The 2015 draft class has progressed to the point where the players have made their names in the league and NBA fans now know who’s relevant and who isn’t. Players like Karl-Anthony Towns, D’Angelo Russell, and Kristaps Porzingis define the 2015 NBA Draft Class and have solidified themselves in the league. One name that was thought to be a bust until this season is the third overall pick, Jahlil Okafor. The star big man came off a national championship team with Duke University in 2015.

Introducing Your 2019 Western Conference All-Stars

Josh Elias | February 1st, 2019

As a basketball fan, I’ve always found the NBA All-Star Weekend to be one of the more interesting times of the year. It allows me to watch the top talents of the league play without putting me in a position to seriously root for or against either team. It puts all of the league’s best players in a one-game situation where it’s the best of the best against the best of the best.

In Pursuit of the Elusive Quintuple-Double

Josh Elias | January 14th, 2019

With Russell Westbrook‘s prime and players like Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo entering into NBA stardom with the ability to do just about everything – score, pass, rebound, and defend – better than the vast majority of players in the league, it’s no wonder we’ve entered the era of the triple-double to the extent that we have.

New Orleans Pelicans: 2018 Season Preview

Liam Romero | October 4th, 2018

This past offseason was more disappointing than it was a success to the Big Easy.

Can the Pelicans recover from such a blow to their roster, or will New Orleans have another season of tanking and lost potential?
