It has been less than 72 hours, and Russell Westbrook already has his name being thrown around in trade talks following the unexpected departure of Paul George, who was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. If you didn’t think of the Paul George trade as a rebuilding move, then obviously you don’t know the business side of sports. Considering all the money the Thunder had invested into Westbrook and George and having to settle for FOUR straight first round playoff exits...it wa

Well it was good while it lasted…kind of, is what every Cleveland Cavalier fan should be saying today as the era of title contention has found yet another obstacle in its path as the Cavs have parted ways with 3-year head coach, Tyronn Lue. Optimism for a smooth, positive post-Bron era has been handicapped by the firing, and leaves a lot of questions for the Cavs front office for years to come. From what seemed like a community that only asked for more and more from LeBron ga

Making the most of my homecoming experience as an alum this past weekend, I was able to sit down face to face, and talk it out with TSU's newly hired men's basketball coach. Once a former standout during his playing career at Belmont, at only 34 years-old, Brian “Penny” Collins will now look to put together a standout career, as Tennessee State University’s 18th men’s head basketball coach. No stranger to Nashville, as it is his hometown, Coach Penny insists that coaching at

29 total picks later, a pair of No. 1 draft picks, over a dozen trades, some major front office changes and a whole lot of belief from the fans of Philly; and “The Process,” is finally starting to pay dividends as the 76er’s are now on their way back to relevancy. Once composed of multiple first round draft picks and little to no chemistry, the Philadelphia 76er’s now have an identity, an identity that is no longer associated with losing, but now to prominence and show no sig

Imagine being in your mid 20’s as an all-out sports fanatic for your state, having seen a good handful of chances to secure a championship but having to settle for a handful of disappointment. If you’re a reader outside of Michigan, then you must first understand that there are A LOT of good things happening in the state’s sports world outside of the major marketed professional teams. There have been a number of teams to put on for the state of Michigan in a number of sports

With Kawhi Leonard’s return to the court looking more and more unlikely, one could argue there is a rift brewing between Coach Pop and the superstar. Leonard who has SLOWLY, fallen out of the game changer, yet alone franchise difference maker conversation, has all the sudden rapidly boarded the next player out of town conversation…as wild as that sounds. Leonard, who had been shut down due to a quad injury for well over two months, has just been medically cleared to return to

You don’t need approval from Michael Jordan, Kobe or LeBron to understand that winning is always satisfying, but having to take loses along the way, will only make winning that much more rewarding, just ask Union High School basketball coach, Brandoen Guyton. With another season under his belt as the city’s youngest coach, Guyton, who is a father first (sons Braylen and Kalin Guyton), and coach second, was able to exit from the hardwood, and enter center stage as he shared hi
