Photo by Rocky Widner/NBAE via Getty Images Life changed irrevocably for the Portland Trail Blazers on September 27th, 2023 when they traded All-Star point guard Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks. The moment stands alongside Bill Walton’s free agency in 1979 and trading Clyde Drexler to the Houston Rockets in 1995 as the most earth-shattering personnel decisions in franchise history. Lillard was not just a 20-point-per-game scorer.

Photo by Elsa/Getty Images Evaluating talent for the NBA Draft is an imprecise science. Observers are all but unanimous that Duke forward Cooper Flagg will be selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2025 NBA Draft. Rutgers guard Dylan Harper is widely regarded as the second-best player in this year’s class. After that, things get dicey. Nowhere is this more evident than in the assessment of BYU guard Egor Demin. The 6’9 ballhandler has a great wingspan and amazing court vision.

Photo by Kyle Terada - Pool/Getty Images It’s June 20th, 2025 and the NBA has still not crowned its next NBA Champion. Basketball fans have been poised for weeks, but the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers just won’t stop playing. Last night the Pacers, facing elimination in Game 6 of the best-of-seven matchup, trounced the Thunder 108-91. That forces a deciding Game 7 on Sunday to determine the winner of the Larry O’Brien trophy.

Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images The Portland Trail Blazers famously won the 1977 NBA Championship behind Bill Walton, Maurice Lucas, and Head Coach Jack Ramsay, imprinting their homespun, all-for-one culture on the basketball landscape. The Blazers just as famously have not won a title since, 48 years of falling short. Along the way there were blips and blurps of success.

Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Game 6 of the 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers goes down tonight! Oklahoma City leads the series 3-2 with the potentially-deciding game in Indianapolis. Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has an injured calf and is a game-time decision. Everything but the home court is stacked against Indiana. Can they pull it off to force a deciding Game 7 on Sunday or will the Thunder be crowned champions tonight?
