Brooklyn Nets Should Trade Kyrie Irving This Offseason

Kyrie Irving is one of the most talented players in the NBA. When he is 100 percent focused and committed to basketball...he is one of the best guards in the league. The problem of course...Kyrie Irving isn't committed to the NBA.

He was a problem in Cleveland...he was a problem with the Celtics...and now it appears the Brooklyn Nets are tiring of his antics. There are rumors that Nets general manager Sean Marks is willing to take offers on Kyrie Irving this offseason.

We explain why this is the right move for the Nets...and how the behavior of Kyrie Irving outweighs his talent. The distractions he creates make him not worth dealing with.

Scottie Pippen Goes Woke On Phil Jackson

Scottie Pippen was an innovative player in the NBA. He was apart of the greatest dynasty in the history of the league. He's always been respected...always been a reserved guy that didn't speak negatively about people.

Until now. Lately Scottie Pippen has attacked modern NBA players...as well as Michael Jordan. We can now add Phil Jackson to the list. In an interview with GQ...Scottie Pippen accused Phil Jackson of being a racist.

We analyze his comments...and easily explain why the decisions Phil Jackson made had nothing to do with race. We also offer a theory as to why Scottie Pippen has suddenly began to attack people for seemingly no reason.

Woke Gwen Berry Is An Embarrassment & Should Be Banned From Olympics

One of the problems with wokers like Gwen Berry...they don't understand the difference between a right and a privilege. They like to use the privilege of a platform like the Olympics...as an opportunity to promote their woke agenda.

Gwen Berry embarrassed herself and America by turning her back on the Star Spangled Banner over the weekend. She claims to have been setup...but most see this for what it truly is...a way for Gwen Berry to get attention.

We explain why Gwen Berry should be banned from competing in the Olympics...but how the United States Olympic Committee also holds some of the blame in this situation.

Tim Tebow Idea Doesn't Seem to be Working for Jaguars

When Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars announced they were giving Tim Tebow a tryout...Tebow supporters thought it was a brilliant idea. Many felt he deserved another chance at the NFL.

However...the idea was ridiculous to begin with...and now it appears that Tim Tebow isn't working out as planned. We review some recent comments by Urban Meyer regarding Tim Tebow...and his progress or lack thereof.

We explain why this shouldn't have happened...and how Tim Tebow is an unnecessary distraction to the development of Trevor Lawrence.

Stephen A Smith: Is He Being Paid By ESPN to be Woke?

It might surprise you to know that Stephen A Smith wasn't always woke. Matter of fact...not too many years ago...Stephen A Smith was a Republican. He spent 2015 trying to convince African Americans to vote for Donald Trump.

Stephen A Smith has been accused numerous times by people in the black community of always siding with white people. He's been accused of being unnecessarily harsh on black athletes like Josh Gordon.

With that being the case...when did the mentality of Stephen A Smith change? We explain how the more money ESPN paid him...the more woke Stephen A Smith became. 

LeBron James: Nike CEO Admits They're In Bed With China

We've all known for a while that LeBron James...the NBA...and Nike are in bed with China. Although it's been the worst kept secret...we've never had hard proof of they're true feelings in regards to China.

Well...now we know for sure. Nike held their earnings call earlier this week...and CEO John Donahoe openly admitted Nike is all about China...and fully supports China. Essentially...Nike turned its back on America.

We react to these comments...and explain the blatant hypocrisy when it comes to LeBron James and his social justice agenda...and his business relationship with China.

NBA Playoffs: Busting the Myth That NBA Ratings Are Surging

There is a lot of misinformation going around about NBA Playoff ratings. Certain media sites are claiming NBA ratings for the playoffs are up between 40-50 percent. Some on YouTube are claiming that NBA ratings are increasing since LeBron James was eliminated from the playoffs.

This simply isn't the case. We dive into the ratings...and prove that they're still down in comparison to 2019. Back in 2019...NBA ratings for the playoffs were considered to be disastrous. Which means ratings being down this year in comparison to 2019...are even worse.

We show how second round ratings for the playoffs are down...and how the overall ratings are down.

Jalen Rose Grabs the Woke Shovel...and Proceeds to Bury Himself

With the Olympics occurring later this summer...Team USA has been selected for the basketball competition. Even though Kevin Love didn't have the best regular season in the NBA...he was selected to be apart of Team USA.

This sent woke Jalen Rose over the cliff. He claims the only reason Kevin Love was selected...is because he is the "token" white guy. Jalen Rose said the Olympics shouldn't be afraid to have an all-black team representing the USA.

We decimate Jalen Rose for these comments...and point out where he is completely out-of-touch. We also explain how if roles were reversed...and a white person said this same thing...he would be canceled by the woke media.

ESPN NBA Analyst Jay Williams Lost All Credibility

When news that the Boston Celtics were hiring Ime Udoka as their next head coach was released...ESPN's Jay Williams took to Twitter to issue his response. He was thrilled the Celtics finally hired their first black head coach in franchise history.

Of course...Jay Williams was way off base...the Celtics have had five black head coaches. When they hired Bill Russell back in the 1960s...he was the first African American head coach in the NBA. 

Clearly Jay Williams has lost all credibility...but this tweet isn't the reason. We reveal the REAL reason Jay Williams lost all credibility this week.

Giannis: Eastern Conference Finals Is a Legacy Defining Series

We aren't going to overreact to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks home loss in Game 1. This series should go seven games...and because of an adjustment made in the fourth quarter...the Bucks may have found a defensive answer to Trae Young.
