Klay Thompson Revisits Charles Barkley Feud

by

Klay Thompson has been through a lot this season. At the beginning of the year, he had a very slow start. In fact, there were many people out there calling him washed. Overall, this was a very premature thing to say about Thompson as he eventually came through with a 41-point game back in November.

If you love the Golden State Warriors, you know just how much Thompson means to this franchise. He has helped them win four NBA titles, and he will have his jersey raised to the rafters when all is said and done. Moreover, he is just a great teammate to Steph Curry.

Klay Thompson Vs. The Media

Just last month, Thompson found himself beefing with Charles Barkley and some of his other haters. It was a bit unbecoming, especially since Thompson eventually proved them all wrong. While speaking to Sports Illustrated’s Howard Beck, Thompson revealed how it was a mistake to acknowledge those doubters.

“Yeah, man, I’m mad I even addressed that,” Thompson said. “It’s like, only time will tell. I just gotta hoop and let the talkers talk. Like, what else do I got to prove, man? At this point, it’s all gravy, playing with house money.”

The Warriors have struggled at times this season and with Steph injured, Thompson will have to help lead the way. This is a position he has been in before, and he will certainly be looking to rise to that occasion.

James Harden has been having a great season with Philadelphia. While the 76ers got off to a very slow start, they are now one of the hottest teams in the league. Harden has been playing great basketball with Joel Embiid, and overall, they have a shot to perhaps win the East.

If you are a Harden fan, this resurgence has been nice to see. He seemingly struggled last season, however, he is finding his footing and now looks to be fully healthy. Moving forward, the Sixers will definitely be a team to watch out for, which is always good news for Philly fans.

James Harden Thinks It’s Fashion Week

Yesterday, the Sixers played the New York Knicks on Christmas Day. In the end, the Sixers won the match, with Harden having another solid outing. However, it was Harden’s pre-game outfit that truly stole the show.

As you can see in the video down below, Harden was wearing a very bizarre fit that certainly had people talking. First off, we have purple leather pants. Secondly, he is wearing a green, orange, and purple striped jacket with slippers to match. Lastly, he has on a pink Shiesty mask that will remind you of Kanye West.

Subsequently, Harden was roasted throughout social media. Of course, this should not have been that much of a surprise as social media tends to be ruthless. In the quote tweets down below, you can see how a lot of people felt that Harden did too much here. This is not the first time his fashion choices have been questioned, and they certainly will not be the last.

Klay Thompson Claps Back At Grizzlies Over Dynasty Claims

by

Klay Thompson and the Memphis Grizzlies have been in a huge rivalry as of late. The young stars of the Grizzlies like Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant have rubbed him the wrong way. Overall, he does not care for their cocky attitudes, and he has made it his mission to teach them a lesson.

On Christmas Day, the Warriors and the Grizzlies played each other in what should have been a win for the Grizzlies. Without Steph Curry, the Warriors were huge underdogs to win the match. However, Thompson rallied the troops and came through with a massive win.

Klay Thompson Taunts The Grizzlies

As you can imagine, Thompson wasn’t very charitable to the Grizzlies after the game. In fact, he had a ton of smoke for them. In the clip down below, you can see Thompson going off on the team, noting just how much their tough talk is all for nothing.

“Man, they [were] talking about dynasty and all that, you can’t talk dynasty when you haven’t won before.” Thompson explained. “I don’t think people realize how hard that is, the commitment and sacrifice it takes. You got to sacrifice your body and I thought that was premature talk to even mention that word.”

After shooting a basket over the head of Brooks, Thompson hit him with the ultimate taunt. Brooks was on the ground, although that did not stop Thompson from being a complete menace out there. The Warriors superstar continues to yell in his face, and the crowd absolutely loved it.

Overall, the new rivalry between these two teams is a whole lot of fun. Hopefully, we see them battle each other in the playoffs again, sometime soon.

Steph Curry Injury Recovery Timeline Revealed

by

Steph Curry is the greatest point guard in the NBA right now. Overall, he beats out everyone else because of his incredible shooting. He is the best shooter in the history of the NBA, and it is going to take an absolute unicorn to ever top him. However, that hasn’t taken away from the Warriors’ struggles this season.

If you have watched this team play, you know that they rely on Steph a little bit too much. Klay Thompson is not the same player anymore. Furthermore, guys like Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins have been hit or miss this year. Needless to say, the Warriors need better from everyone.

Steph Curry Hurts His Shoulder

Yesterday, Curry ended up hurting his shoulder while playing against the Indiana Pacers. In the video down below, you can see him rushing to the locker room while clutching his left shoulder. Subsequently, the Warriors went on to lose the game.

Today, Curry got an MRI on his shoulder. Consequently, the team got some results, and they were not great. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Curry is going to have to miss multiple weeks with his injury. For now, however, the Warriors are not giving out an exact timeline.

Of course, this is horrible news for the Warriors who were already in a bit of a hole. Now, things have gone from bad to worse, and without Curry, they will only fall further down the Western Conference standings. However, the Warriors do have some solid young players, so perhaps they can change their fortunes with some team basketball.

This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates. Additionally, let us know what you think this means for the Warriors, in the comments down below.

Joel Embiid Thinks Sixers Fans Want Him Gone

by

Joel Embiid is one of the best players in the entire NBA. Over the course of the last two seasons, Embiid could have easily won MVP. However, that was simply not in the cards. It has been an unfortunate turn of events for Embiid, however, he has persisted on.

Embiid is the face of the franchise, and with James Harden by his side, the team has a chance to do big things. Although, they haven’t been able to get past the second round since he’s shown up. It’s been a difficult position to be in, and fans are starting to get impatient.

Joel Embiid Gets Honest

Philly fans are incredibly hard to deal with. They can get angry fast, and when you look at what they did to Ben Simmons, you can see why Embiid might be worried about how they view him. In fact, Embiid seems to think that the fans in Philadelphia want him gone.

While speaking to Jake Fischer for Yahoo! Sports, Embiid straight up claimed that he thinks Sixers fans want him traded. Overall, he has no evidence to back that up, although it didn’t stop him from saying it.

“I don’t know. Sixers fans, they want to trade me,” Embiid said. “I do believe that. They want to trade me.”

It would be pretty shocking if the Sixers did trade Embiid. For now, however, that outcome is highly unlikely. Embiid is simply too valuable to the franchise right now, and getting rid of him would be extremely shortsighted.

Draymond Green Accuses Fan Of Hurling Death Threats

by

Draymond Green is one of the more polarizing players in the entire NBA. Fans of the Golden State Warriors love him, however, fans around the league have a much less favorable view of him. Unfortunately, this leads to some fan reactions that are simply unacceptable.

If you’ve been watching the NBA since the bubble, you would know that fans have gotten bolder. Some of them are simply out of pocket, and subsequently, we’ve seen an uptick in lifetime bans. Overall, it is a hostile environment for players like Green.

Draymond Green Gets Fan Ejected

Last night, Draymond was in Milwaukee where he took on the Bucks alongside his Warriors teammates. As you will see in the clips below, he was met with some jeers from a fan who was courtside at the baseline. Overall, Green was not happy with what was being said.

This ultimately led to him going up to the referee and pointing to the man. Eventually, the ref called security over and the man was promptly ejected.

Following the game, Green told reporters that the man had made death threats. When made aware of this, the ref felt as though action needed to be taken immediately.

“There are no real consequences,” Green said. “Yeah, you can’t come back to the game, or even if you get arrested, nothing really happens … you just hope it gets to a point where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws because that’s the only thing that’s really going to correct the issue.”

Needless to say, Green is not too optimistic about what is going to happen, moving forward. This is just a bad situation for everyone, and it will be interesting to see what kind of punishment that fan receives.

LeBron James Delivers Massive Praise To Donovan Mitchell

by

LeBron James has been in the league for 20 seasons, which means he has seen a whole lot of guys play the game. At this stage in his career, he knows the makings of a superstar. Subsequently, he likes to call out who he thinks is up next, especially when they beat him.

Last night, LeBron was in Cleveland where he got to play the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was a special return for LeBron as the Cavaliers are where he started his career. However, things did not go great for James as he ended up losing by a score of 116-102.

LeBron Impressed By Mitchell

The star of the Cavaliers last night was clearly Donovan Mitchell. The newly-acquired star dropped a total of 43 points, which ultimately spoiled the homecoming. It was a tough match for the Lakers, and consequently, James took notice of the young star.

When asked about Mitchell after the game, LeBron had nothing but praise for the young star. Overall, James definitely kept his answer short, but he made sure to pay respect. “He’s Mitchell,” James said. “He’s a special kid.”

LeBron James and the Lakers are now 10-13 this season with the loss. The Lakers do seem to be on a solid trajectory right now, however, it is not going to be easy. Anthony Davis and James will not play tonight as the Lakers take on the Toronto Raptors. Overall, it is a bad predicament, although it is one the Lakers have experienced all too often this season.

Trae Young Reveals How NBA Can Hold Refs Accountable

by

NBA officiating has been catching a lot of flack as of late. The calls being made around the NBA have been incredibly inconsistent and it is hard to tell what is truly considered a foul at times. With that being said, the players are looking for some kind of accountability that is very hard to find. The refs are rarely held to the fire, and the players want this to stop.

In fact, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks recently took to Twitter where he delivered an interesting suggestion. As he explains, refs should be forced to do post-game interviews, just like the players are. Young thinks this will keep refs accountable for years to come.

Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images

“A lot of different, new rules to the game that are kinda “judgemental” calls, why can’t the media interview them postgame too?.?” Young asked. “Maybe discuss some of there biggest calls that may or may have not changed the outcome of that game. Instead of just making a call & moving on, now the call will mean something to THEM as well.”

It is an incredible suggestion, but it is unlikely the league actually goes through with it. Refs have been protected for years, and that is not about to change.

Tell us what you think of Young’s suggestion, in the comments down below.

Lonzo Ball & The Bulls Get Some Positive News

by

Lonzo Ball has been dealing with a significant knee injury over the past few months. After getting surgery at the beginning of the year, Ball wasn’t able to recover as quickly as he was supposed to. This was a huge concern for the Bulls and it has continued to be one as Lonzo has yet to recover in time for the NBA season.

In fact, Lonzo recently underwent a second knee surgery, and now, he will have to miss even more time. Recently, Lonzo admitted that he is still feeling a lot of pain in his knee and that he can’t even run or jump. This is very upsetting for Bulls fans, and it has even been heartbreaking for his teammates who care deeply about his health.

Now, however, the Bulls are getting some good news pertaining to Ball. As you can see in the tweet down below from Shams Charania, there is a sense that Lonzo will be able to come back this season. While there is no exact timeline for his return to the court, there is a lot of confidence in his ability to play prior to the postseason.

When Lonzo was on the court last season, the Bulls were among the best teams in the entire Eastern Conference. With that being said, the team could use him right now, especially with the East’s continuing momentum.
