It is such a blessing to live in the current era of basketball.
As the NBA celebrates its 75 th Anniversary Season, the association unveiled more
players that are included in the 75 Greatest of All-Time, led by none other than LeBron

Stephen Curry, the one who changes the game and the greatest shooter to ever touch a

Kevin Durant, arguably the best scorer, a 1-time MVP, 11-time All-Star, 4-time scoring
champion, 2-time champion.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, a freak athlete who won back-to-back MVP, 1-time Defensive
Player of the Year, 5-time All-Star, and a reigning NBA champion.
James Harden, another crazy scorer who won an MVP, appeared 9-time in All-Star and
a three-time scoring champion
Kawhi Leonard, the fun guy who is a five-time All-Star, 2-time Defensive Player of the
Year, Finals MVP, and two-time champion
Chris Paul, the point god. An 11-time All-Star and fourth in the all-time assists leader
Anthony Davis, a versatile big men who is an eight-time All-Star and an NBA champion
Carmelo Anthony, a postup powerhouse, a pure scorer with 10-time All-Star and 1-time
scoring champion in his resume.
Russell Westbrook, the triple-double machine with one MVP, 9 All-Star appearances
and a two-time scoring champion
Damian Lillard, one of the proven clutch players in the era and a six-time All-Star.

Many though, complained about the non-inclusion of guys like Kyrie Irving, Klay

impact to the league.

Boston avoids sweep, gets one in Miami in Game 4

There will be no sweep in the Eastern Conference Finals as the Boston Celtics stole one in Miami in Game 4, 116-99.

Jayson Tatum delivered a huge game of 33 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists to power the Celtics to Game 5 back in Boston.

They relied on a strong second half to win one with five more Celtics players scoring in double-digits.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler scored 29 for the Heat who still hold a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Butler, though, felt no pressure in the post-game interview as he believed Miami can win one on the road to close out the East Finals and set up a showdown to the already-waiting Denver Nuggets.
