Kevin Durant has two NBA titles, three Olympic gold medals, an MVP award and 11 All-Star Game appearances. Does that make him the NBA’s best player?

Shaquille O’Neal dished on Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated, Ben Simmons’ trade request and his picks for NBA champion and regular-season MVP.

The 36-year-old LeBron James says he’s feeling both physically and mentally recharged. And he conceded he has plenty to show in his 19th NBA season.

Carmelo Anthony, entering his 19th NBA season, ranks 10th on the league’s all-time scoring list with 27,370 points.

Russell Westbrook formed a close bond with Kobe Bryant. And now Westbrook will join the same franchise that Bryant helped win five NBA titles.

After years of discussing the possibility of one day becoming teammates, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony will be on the same NBA team, the Lakers.

Pau Gasol will team with his brother (Marc Gasol) and two other NBA players in hopes to win their first Olympic gold medal.

When the NBA Finals end, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton will travel to Tokyo to play for Team USA.

As Phoenix tries to force a Game 7, Devin Booker defends Chris Paul’s playoff shortcoming while Paul defends Booker’s solo scoring dominance.

Chris Paul had just 10 points and turned the ball over five times in the Suns’ Game 4 loss, but Monty Williams is sure CP3 will bounce back.
