In a sea of purple and gold jerseys, a thunderous “MVP” chant filled the buzzing Staples Center as the Laker great took and made his final points in his NBA career on the free throw line.

The present state of the NBA is exciting, to say the least. While talented but lower-tier teams trade blows in the race to make the playoffs, three teams make up the supposed "elite" of the Association.

At the beginning of the season, everything was on the...
After the Golden State Warriors hosted the 2015 Larry O'Brien Trophy claiming their first championship in forty years, the NBA offseason gave players, coaches, and trainers over 100 days to prepare for the next arduous season.
