The University of Kentucky holds the greatest tradition in the history of men’s college basketball, but throughout the years, success at the next level hasn’t been as prominent. That began to change with John Calipari’s one-and-done system over the last 15 years, which produced over 50 NBA players from out of the Joe Craft Center. That being said, only two former Wildcats who played under Calipari have been part of an NBA Finals-winning team. Anthony Davis won a title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 before Jamal Murray won one with the Denver Nuggets last season. DeMarcus Cousins ultimatel...

The NBA Finals are here. Hard to believe, right? After all, it’s been an entire week since we saw a game in the National Basketball Association. The Celtics swept the Pacers and the Mavericks won in five. Despite the quick conference finals, Adam Silver did not feel the need to expedite the start of the NBA Finals, giving us a seven-day basketball drought that finally reaches an end tonight. This edition of the NBA Finals should be a real treat. Boston has been the most dominant team in basketball all season, but they do not have the best player on the floor, Luka Doncic. It should make for an...

The Detroit Pistons are making some big changes after an ugly 14-68 season under first-year head coach Monty Williams. The Eastern Conference franchise could be looking at bringing a popular player back home. Detroit has a general manager spot to fill with former Duke standout Trajan Langdon was just named President of Basketball Operations. Former Kentucky standout Tayshaun Prince was named as a potential candidate for the opening. The Athletic‘s Shams Charania and James L. Edwards III had the current Vice President of Basketball Affairs for the Memphis Grizzlies listed as a candidate to repl...

Up until this year’s NBA trade deadline, PJ Washington spent the entirety of his NBA career on the Charlotte Hornets. While he had always been good for the Hornets, the franchise itself hadn’t been so good. Charlotte had only won 40+ games once since Washington was drafted in 2019, and that was in the 2021-22 season. So, when Washington was dealt to the Mavericks, who were 29-23 at the time, ahead of this season’s trade deadline, you could say he got an upgrade. After acquiring the former All-SEC selection, the Mavericks went 21-9 to finish 50-32 in the regular season, and they have since made...

Time to bust out the Sàozhǒu. That’s Mandarin for broom. DeMarcus Cousins led the Taiwan Beer Leopards to a win in the T1 Taiwan League Championship, sweeping Taipei Taisin Mars 4-0 in the seven-game finals. In the championship-clinching Game 4, Cousins finished with 24 points, 24 rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and an assist. Cousins played somewhat nonchalantly in the first two games of the series, settling for primarily 3s and not exactly hitting the glass. However, he turned it on to the Boogie of old in the final two games, averaging 22 points, 19.5 rebounds, two steals, and two blocked...

The Western Conference Finals were largely one-sided as the Dallas Mavericks held firm control throughout the series. The Minnesota Timberwolves’ defense was just no match for the offensive firepower that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving produced. As a result, former Kentucky forward PJ Washington and the Mavericks steam-rolled the Timberwolves in Game 5, advancing to the NBA Finals following a 124-103 victory. Despite a rough start to the series, Karl-Anthony Towns wound up being one of the more positive points of focus for the Timberwolves. In what would be their last game of the season, KAT sco...

The Indiana Pacers were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs on Monday night. It wasn’t a close series against the top-seeded Boston Celtics, either — Indiana lost all four games and played the final two without its best player, Tyrese Haliburton. Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals ended with the Pacers losing 105-102 at home. But we’re not here to talk about what a mostly boring series this was. We’re here to talk about how Pacers’ forward Isaiah Jackson (accidentally!!) kicked Celtics guard Payton Pritchard in the face after biting on a pump fake and leaping for a block. Unfortunately for P...

The NBA Western Conference playoffs provided yet another comeback on Sunday, but the Minnesota Timberwolves were once again on the wrong side of the final score. The Dallas Mavericks, propelled by the heroics of Luka Doncic, the shiftiness of Kyrie Irving, and the occasional timely 3-pointer from PJ Washington, defeated the Timberwolves 116-107 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. The Mavericks were in control most of the game, but Anthony Edwards lit a third-quarter spark under his team after he threw down one of the most insane dunks you’ll ever see in a playoff game. The game remained clos...

At one point, The Ringer had the pride of London, Kentucky, Reed Sheppard, as their No. 1 overall prospect for the 2024 NBA Draft. It was an eyebrow-raising projection, but now it’s no longer just national writers feeling like this. Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo of ESPN are reporting that multiple NBA teams have Sheppard as the No. 1 overall prospect on their big boards. Is one of those teams the Atlanta Hawks, the organization that actually possesses the first pick in the draft? Most mock drafts would suggest not, however, there has been a ton of speculation that the Hawks are willing to pac...

As much as the Western Conference playoffs have been a battle with 20-point comebacks, Game 7s, and sometimes 20-point comebacks in Game 7s, the Eastern Conference has been an absolute cakewalk for the Boston Celtics. Injuries to opposing stars have been a big reason why. In the first round, they took on the Miami Heat, who were without their star, Jimmy Butler. They took care of business 4-1. In the Eastern Conference Semifinals, The Cs faced off against the Cleveland Cavaliers who were without Jarrett Allen and Donovan Mitchell for multiple games. They won that series 4-2, as they took the f...
