George is entering his 17th season in search of his first trip to the NBA Finals.

Like any successful tandem in the NBA, Tatum's and Brown's success together with the Celtics could not last forever.

The true enjoyment of watching sports has declined, replaced by consumption of analysis and fueled by betting and fantasy sports.

Mann recently returned home to host a basketball camp and academic fair.

Along with president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, Rivers resurrected the Celtics with Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce.

For years, players have complained about the elimination of the middle class, even as superstars are enjoying exceptional salary growth.

Stevens not only couldn’t pull off a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but he also made his roster less talented.

Not even the Larry Bird rule, which allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign their own players, is encouraging teams to keep their homegrown talent. 

The NBA enjoys being part of the sports news cycle with NFL training camps set to open and MLB beginning the second half of its season.

In his two seasons with the 76ers, 48 percent of George's shot attempts were from the 3-point range, meaning he fits into the Celtics’ perimeter system, especially since he made 37.5 percent of them.
