It is time to rethink the way we think about sports and marketability. The global popularity of social media has fundamentally changed sports consumption and the idea of market sizes. The phenomenon fueling this belief is LaMelo Ball and what just happened with the NBA All-Star vote.

In the most shocking move in American sports history, the Dallas Mavericks, fresh off an NBA finals appearance, are trading superstar talent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a deal highlighted by Anthony Davis in return. With no clear answers on what happened, here are five reasons why the Mavericks may have made the deal.

A new season is upon us, and with it comes plenty of intriguing storylines. From massive traves and superstar uncertainty in the East to a West perhaps the deepest it has ever been, here is an early season NBA Power ranking.

With NBA free agency almost at hand, now seems like as good of a time as any to check on the current standing of teams around the league before rosters undergo major changes.

Damian Lillard has done more than his fair share for the Trail Blazers franchise. He's their all-time leader in points, three-pointers made, second in assists, and top 5 in a bunch of other categories, along with the countless moments he's given the franchise. And what have they given him in return? Nothing. Outside of the yearly salary, they've...
