When the replay of Victor Wembanyama hyper-extending his knee against the Knicks on New Year’s Eve was shown, I felt like the loneliest member of the “Victor will stay healthy like Kareem did” fan club.

It was a deliberate offensive choice.” I don’t know about you, but the […]

From a Spurs point of view, Luke Kornet is an excellent fit. A rim protector with pick-and-roll capabilities, his connections with Stephon Castle (aptly nicknamed “White Castle”) supply crowd-pleasing dunks. Last season, when Victor Wembanyama was sidelined with deep vein thrombosis, the Spurs took a hit. Zach Collins had been traded to the Chicago Bulls […]
