In light of the fact that it’s the anniversary of his tragic death, we thought it might be a good idea to take a look at the incredible list of achievements, of one of the best to ever play the game. A basketball player, a husband, a father and without doubt an inspirational human being, the late and the great, Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant was unreal Truly one of the greatest athletes in sporting History , Kobe Bryant had an i NFL uence that went way beyond the courts of the NBA . Indeed, though he spent his entire career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers as a shooting guard, Bryant’s name was known the world over and for more than just his basketball skills. Whether it was his inspiring developmental work through his Mamba Foundation, where he tried to instill what he called the “Mamba Mentality” in young athletes, or his mentorship inner city kids to pave a path to a better life, Kobe was so much more than just an amazing ball player. Four years ago today, the world tragically lost K...

Steph Curry, widely regarded as one of the greatest shooters in the History of the NBA , had a difficult time on December 17, 2023, when the Golden State Warriors played against the Portland Trail Blazers. Curry’s remarkable streak of making at least one 3-pointer in 268 consecutive Game s ended that night. JUST HOW WILD WAS CURRY’S RECORD 3-POINT STREAK? For more than five years — from Dec. 1, 2018 until Dec. 17, 2023 — Stephen Curry made at least one 3-pointer in 268 consecutive Game s. ▪️ That’s 1,842 days of never having an 0-for night in the NBA ▪️ Curry’s 268- Game run is the… pic.twitter.com/27SHmaDcJV — NBA (@NBA) December 19, 2023 Despite being the two-time MVP and a four-time NBA champion, Curry struggled to find his rhythm during the game . He finished with only 7 points, shooting 2-for-12 (16.7%) from the field and 0-for-8 from beyond the arc . This was a rare occasion, as Curry has been a prolific scorer from a distance, consistently making more than 40% of hi...

The last time Lauri Markkanen was on the floor he was  a split-second away from delivering a truly remarkable buzzer-beater . Having apparently learned his lesson, he made sure not to leave anything to chance on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets.  Markkanen scored 18 points in the first quarter to help the Utah Jazz get out to an early lead, and neither he nor the team ever looked back. He finished with a career -high 49 points and eight rebounds on 15 of 27 from the field as the Jazz snapped a five- Game losing streak with a 131-114 win over the Rockets.  This was a truly complete offensive showing from Markkanen, who did a little bit of everything against a Rockets defense that, it must be said, was not always providing that much resistance. He knocked down six 3-pointers, threw down five dunks, hit some tough looks in the mid-range and was a perfect 13 of 13 from the free throw line.  ...

With Steph Curry set to miss the next month or so with a shoulder injury , everyone on the Golden State Warriors will have to step up in his absence, but especially Jordan Poole. The young guard did just that on Sunday, leading the Warriors to a much-needed 126-110 win over the Toronto Raptors. Poole finished with a career-high 43 points on 14-of-23 from the field and 5-of-11 from 3-point land, and added six assists in 34 minutes. After 15 career 30-point outings, Poole finally reached the 40-point mark for the first time.  A career night for Jordan Poole in the Golden State win. 43 PTS ( career-high ) 6 AST 5 3PM pic.twitter.com/GkaSOCNuJO — NBA (@NBA) December 19, 2022 "He's played a lot of great Game s for us," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. "If it's not the best, it's definitely one of the few best. He was great at both ends. His defense was e...

Before the season, a Toronto Raptors victory over the New York Knicks hardly would have qualified as news. The Knicks were coming off of a lottery season. The Raptors looked like an ascending contender. But based on just the last several weeks? Toronto's 113-106 victory over New York at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night qualifies as one of the season's bigger upsets. The Knicks, behind Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, had won eight straight games entering the contest. The Raptors, feeling the weight of their limited depth and starting to hear trade rumors involving their best players, had lost six in a row. But those few valuable Raptors were more than enough on Wednesday as Toronto snapped New York's league-best active winning streak behind one of the more lopsided performances within a single team you'll ever see. Three Raptors combined to score 95 of Toronto's 113 points . Unsurprisingl...
