Watching the Warriors this year has been a joy, and they definitely earned their Western Conference Championship. Even after the Thunder went up 3-1, most people probably felt comfortable that Golden State would handle business. Maybe it’s different if two of the final three games were in Oklahoma rather than California. But nonetheless, the Warriors…

Unless something unforeseen happens, the 76ers will draft Ben Simmons first overall next month. Simmons will join Allen Iverson and Doug Collins as 76ers selected first. Simmons averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists a game his lone season at LSU. He has plenty of question marks following the season. His team embarrassingly didn’t…

Sam Bradford ended his hiatus from the Philadelphia Eagles Monday. Even after working with Zach Ertz and Jordan Matthews this off-season, Bradford wanted no part of Philadelphia because of how the front office handled the quarterback position. Obviously Bradford initially signed the contract, but his understanding was he’d have a legitimate chance to be the…

Sam Bradford signed a two-year deal in March. Days later the Eagles made Chase Daniel an expensive back up. The Eagles also made it known they would draft a quarterback somewhere in the 2016 NFL Draft. Bradford, however, didn’t know it would be the second pick in the entire draft. Yes, Bradford only signed a…

On the surface, the Eagles trading several picks to move up six spots sounds asinine. After all, it’s football. Eleven players play on offense, eleven on defense and the rest of the roster consists of 31 players. The Eagles gave up five picks for two. One of those two picks, however, will be used to…

Lee Jenkins writes some of the best feature stories for Sports Illustrated. About a month ago he profiled Kawhi Leonard, and, as usual, it was great. Leonard has to be the most interesting superstar in the NBA. Not because of his personality or anything, but because of how he came one. He won Finals MVP…

One of my college professors had a rule after she returned graded papers or tests: don’t email or talk to her about the grade until 24 hours after getting it back. She wanted students to take those 24 hours to analyze where they might have gone wrong; she didn’t want students to automatically assume that…

Grantland was the best website to read basketball stories. Zach Lowe wrote detailed explanations about a team’s make-up, specifically their offensive and defensive tendencies and philosophies. Bill Simmons wrote extended commentary about what kind of mark a certain player would leave. Jonathan Abrams wrote stories about the successes and failures of several NBA players. He…

It’s not the off-season until the Eagles do something drastic. Not that trading away DeMarco Murray, Kiko Alonso and Bryon Maxwell was the most drastic thing the Eagles have done, but it literally wiped away everything Chip Kelly did his lone year as general manager. It hasn’t been reported what exactly Philadelphia received for trading…

Philadelphia Eagles hired Doug Pederson over a month ago. It shocked nearly everyone for a number of reasons. It’s a toss-up which reason shocked people most: the fact the Eagles hired a guy whose only head coaching experience was high school or the Eagles hired a guy who was most recently an offensive coordinator for…
