The NBA has long been a league of superstars. Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell helped bring the league front and center in the eyes of the American sporting public, and those two legends handed the ball to Magi Johnson, Larry Bird and Julius “Dr. J” Erving. From there, Michael Jordan took over before the ball was handed LeBron James of the Lakers and he shares that role with Stephen Curry of the Warriors. As the King and Steph get closer to the end of their careers, commissioner Adam Silver was asked who will be the next face of the league.…

NBA legend Larry Bird is a huge fan of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. During an NBA TV segment with fellow Hall of Famers Reggie Miller and Isiah Thomas, Bird said LeBron is “one of the greatest, if not the greatest ever.” Bird competed against Lakers icon Magic Johnson and Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan. Larry Legend, who is close friends with Magic and MJ, is one of the best players in NBA history, so his opinion of LeBron holds significant weight. A 20-time All-Star, LeBron has career averages of 27.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.5 steals and…

Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Darnell Stapleton is joining the Washington Commanders coaching staff under new head coach Dan Quinn as their assistant offensive line coach. Stapleton joins the team after spending the last two seasons coaching Florida’s offensive line, where they produced multiple NFL players, most notably O’Cyrus Torrence. He played with the Steelers from 2007 to 2009 and was undrafted out of Rutgers. But 2008 would be Stapleton’s biggest impact, as he played in 14 games and started 12 games at guard for the team. All of that helped power Pittsburgh that year, and Stapleton would become a…

The Steelers’ quarterbacks room is already set to look a bit different after the expected recent departure of Mitch Trubisky. According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the team is hoping that it won’t change much more as they aim to keep backup quarterback Mason Rudolph moving forward. Unlike Trubisky, Rudolph’s possible exit is a result of free agency. A former third-round draft pick in 2018, Rudolph has played out his rookie contract plus two one-year extensions. The Steelers turned to Rudolph early in his career, when he started eight games in 2019, but he hasn’t seen that many…

On the heels of Gerry Dulac’s report that the Pittsburgh Steelers have apparent “internal division” as to whether Kenny Pickett or Mason Rudolph should be the starting quarterback for 2024, Warren Sharp of Sharp Football blasted the Steelers’ approach to the games most important position. “The Steelers have 25 passing TDs in 34 games since Big Ben retired, the fewest passing TDs of any team in the NFL. Now they’re debating if their 2018 3rd round draft pick should be QB1. This franchise has become unserious. Playoff wins in 12 yrs from 2005-2016? 12 (+ 2 Super Bowls). Playoff wins…

Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark has made a name for himself in the sports media world. From The Pivot to his appearances on ESPN and more, Clark has made himself one of the most well-known names in the sports media in the past few years. But his contract is now expiring with ESPN, and while an extension is not out of the questions it appears, Clark is preparing for the next step, too. “All love to my brothers Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder. I appreciate their words and sincerity. It’s no longer a secret that my contract with ESPN…

Despite running the treadmill of mediocrity since Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement after the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly not interested in bringing in a veteran starting quarterback this offseason. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio has more on what could be a wild situation to follow in league circles: Publicly declaring your non-interest in acquiring a veteran quarterback sure is one way to try and create negotiating leverage through the media! Lying Season™️ is here and I am ready for it. For the sake of this post, let’s take this report at face value. If this is true, then the…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a loaded roster with talent at almost every position group. Currently, the quarterback room could be considered the most questionable. Starting signal-caller Kenny Pickett is heading into his third season in the NFL, with a lot on the table. Pickett will be fighting for his starting job, as his first two seasons with the Steelers have been underwhelming. Preseason Pickett caught a lot of eyes before the 2023 season started. The Steelers’ offense and Pickett seemed to have figured things out. The starting offense scored a touchdown on every drive they played. However, opening week hosting…

Without LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers needed someone to step up in a big way against the Utah Jazz and Rui Hachimura was up to the task. The forward had his best offensive game of his career, hitting 13-of-19 from the field and 6-of-8 from 3-point range to finish with a career-high 36 points in the Lakers’ 16-point win. Hachimura has had an up-and-down season after signing a new contract last summer. He showed what he was capable of during the Lakers’ postseason run last year, but head coach Darvin Ham has struggled to get that same level of…

All-Star Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis, long rumored to be amenable to making a return to Team USA ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris this summer, has offered some clarification on how he’s feeling about the competition at this stage of the 2023-24 NBA season, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN. “I told the committee if they ask me to go, I’ll go,” Davis said. Through 52 contests for the 30-26 Lakers, the nine-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA and four-time All-Defensive honoree out of Kentucky is averaging 24.9 points on 55.3% field goal shooting and 81% free throw shooting, 12.2…
