A video came out of Team USA ranking the best nicknames on the team

Compared to the legends that came before them, these nicknames are stale and uninspiring

These are the 10 best nicknames in NBA history ⬇️ “Air Jordan” (Michael Jordan)

Iconic nickname, no explanation needed.

Steph Curry is the best guard of his generation, but NBA stars don’t agree with me.

The words they use to describe Kyrie Irving are on a different level ⬇️ LeBron James

“Most gifted player the NBA has ever seen”

Jaylen Brown’s resume might be the most ridiculous in NBA history

There’s a reason scouts were scared he was “too smart” before the draft

This is the story of Jaylen Brown ⬇️

In high school, Jaylen brown won Mr. Georgia Basketball and was fielding offers from some of the top schools in the country. He wasn't like the other players...

- Graduated at the top of his class
- Chose Cal over Kentucky & Kansas for academics

Nikola Jokic has the most lucrative 9-5 job of all time

3x Employee of the Year, 6x All-Sales Team and 5x All-Industry team

All jokes aside, Jokic is the most carefree NBA player we've ever seen

These are some of his most unserious moments ⬇️

2023 NBA Champion

The clause that flipped Zion’s contract from fully guaranteed to non-guaranteed is strange…

But not even remotely close to the weirdest we've seen

Some of these are laugh-out-loud funny (A Thread): Manny Ramirez - Buffet Stipend

After earning upwards of $200m in the MLB, Manny demanded a clause in his contract for free food

He was granted unlimited sushi during his stint in Japan

He’s not only the most relatable star in recent memory…he’s a genius

Mark Cuban turned a $235 Million investment into $3.5 Billion

This is great, but not close to the biggest numbers we've seen…

For some of these prices…I could own a franchise (A Thread): Pittsburgh Steelers

Owner: Rooney Family

Purchase Price: $2,500 in 1933

Current Value: $4.63 Billion

Sadly, this dark era of uninspiring NBA jerseys just got even darker...

It's tragic to know the best players in the world will rock these (A Thread): First, the trend is clearly black. Remember 5 years ago it was grey?

Wild idea: Use your color palette...

If the NFL decides to ban the Tush Push, it would enter a highly exclusive club…

The NFL’s banned plays (A Thread): Penalty Clock Drainage

Everybody holds until the clock expires. Kinda genius, but the NFL fixed it. Today the game clock will be reset to where it was at the snap

Sam Cassell's "Big Balls" cost the T’Wolves an NBA Title...

Here's The Story: While injuries are a large part of sports, it’s always tragic to see them in celebration

We saw Edwin Diaz get injured celebrating and Bill Gramatica tear his ACL after a field goal

Neither injury affected their championship aspirations…

This wasn’t the case for Sam Cassell

NBA Jam has been rigged this entire time...

Here's The Story: Back in the early ’90s, NBA Jam became one of the most-played sports video games in the country...

Back then, you could find machines in nearly every American arcade

This NBA Legend had a secret talent you probably didn't know about...

Here's The Story: Kobe was a master of many things:

- Mental toughness

- Athletic dominance

-Writing

And he even learned...

To play the piano

The real Mr. 305 is not Pitbull, LeBron, Shaq or even D Wade...

Here's The Story: Heat fans have seen some serious talent since they became a franchise in 1988

Just look at this all-time South Beach squad...

The NBA has a division problem and I don’t mean division like owners vs players...

I’m talking literally about the 6 NBA Divisions

Here's My Take: The average fan spends very little time stressing about how many games back they are in the division...

And for good reason

The NBA doesn’t seem to know why they exist either

What I know is one of two things needs to happen...

How did a 5’9” teenager...

Become the best big man in the NBA?

Here's The Story: The “growth spurt” is a powerful thing in basketball

For example, CJ McCollum was once a 5’2” 15-year-old...

Growing 8 inches in high school turned Anthony Davis from an overlooked guard to an elite big man

But nothing compares to the growth spurt of The Admiral

Here’s everything you need to know about the surprise PGA Tour & LIV Golf Mega-Merger... Since the founding of LIV, they have been in constant legal battles with the PGA Tour

This merger seemed evident as LIV entered the professional golf world and challenged the PGA Tour's long-standing traditions

This new merger would effectively end all pending litigation...

This NBA player refused to sign a contract...

Unless a bizarre clause was included

Here's The Story: Now we’ve seen strange contracts before

For example, the Knicks wouldn’t allow Steve Novak to have a dog

But nothing was more bizarre than Tony Lavelli’s deal

An NBA benchwarmer went to extreme lengths...

To shut his haters up

Here's The Story: Now we’ve heard of pros playing in pickup games

Kobe and A.I. played at Rucker Park and more recently Kevin Durant dropped 66 in a full-court game

So when you think of NBA players playing 1-on-1, you think of superstars...

Not the last guy off the bench

Donald Trump offered $1 million...

For a 1 on 1 game with Shaq and Hakeem

Here's The Story: Shaq and Hakeem are undoubtedly two of the best to ever play

Together they combined for 27 all-stars, 6 chips and a pair of MVPs

No one took advantage of this 1 special jersey...

More than this running back

Here's The Story: Today NFL jerseys are made of the extremely-durable nylon...

But back in the 70s they used to be made from a flimsier cotton

A material so fragile that any grabbing of it would compromise the integrity

There is no star in the NBA who gets a bigger pass on postseason failures than...

Joel Embiid

Here's My Take: There is nothing more predictable right now than Embiid’s Sixers going down in the 2nd round

They have 2nd round L’s in 5 of the last 6 years

And for the record, the 1 year that doesn’t match that trend is even worse...

The Bubble Sixers were swept in the 1st round by Boston

This group of college football players...

Accidentally became one of the most infamous rap groups of all time

Here's The Story: In the early 2000s, a crew of Miami Football players came together to form a rap group

There were several high-profile Canes players, like future pros...

Tavares Gooden, Jon Beason and Greg Olsen
