<p>Well, it did not happen the best way but Booker was granted the chance to play in the ASG this next March 7 due to Anthony Davis’ injury and his inability to be healthy to play for an exhibition game.</p>
<p>Book is now a 2x All-Star and he’s ready to represent any team that drafts him the best way and the league seems to be at peace after that. A lot of people wanted to see him in the game and one of those was his girlfriend, who didn’t miss the opportunity to celebrate the guard.</p>

<h2>Kendall Jenner shares pic with the Sunsshirtto celebrate Devin Booker’s All-Star berth</h2>
<p>The supermodel has been very close to Booker in recent times, even celebrating Valentine’s Day together, confirming they are a couple, and attending the player’s recent games in Phoenix. Well, she took things to the next level when DBook was granted a spot in the ASG.</p>
<p>She took to Instagram to share a series of pics and one of those featured her wearing a Sunsshirt, the best homage she could have done for the player and the great moment he is living right now.</p>

<p>After finishing the Orlando bubble with an impressive 8-0 record, Booker is making sure his team is competitive this campaign. He is getting better and better by the years and it won’t be long until we start talking about this man as an MVP candidate. Meanwhile, he’s an All-Star but his girlfriend has demonstrated he’s not the only one who can get a lot of attention in recent hours.</p>

Kendall Jenner found an interesting way to celebrate Devin Booker being named an All-Star - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Golden State Warriors</strong></a> are one of the most famous and successful franchises in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> history. They have had great players on the roster and that doesn’t seem to be changing soon.</p>
<p>From Joe Fulks, through Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Chris Mullin (who was part of that famous Run TMC team in the late 80s and early 90s), the ‘We Believe’ team and finishing with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a>, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and even Kevin Durant, you know this team has had a rich history.</p>
<p>Right now they are the second most valuable franchise in the NBA after all the years at the top of the league. Even though their popularity has increased in the past couple of seasons, not everybody knows all the details about this team. After many years, a lot of people call them ‘The Dubs’ but not all their fans know what is the meaning of this and its history.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Why is the Golden State Warriors’ nickname ‘The Dubs’?</h2>
<p>One of the least known facts about the Warriors is why people call them ‘The Dubs,’ which is more obvious than you would think but not a lot of people really know what’s behind this interesting nickname.</p>
<p>Back in the 90s, the younger fans of the team wanted to give it a nickname and they used a known formula around the league. After shortening the Warriors’ name to their first letter, calling them the “W’s” (pronounced “double-yous”). They removed a couple of letters from them, leaving just “Dubs” as their nickname.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>It sounded more mysterious than it was but it’s really simple. This nickname is relatively new, especially knowing that the Warriors are one of the first teams in the NBA. Well, it wasn’t that serious after all the now you know why you call your team or rival the Dubs.</p>

<p>Ever since they shared touches in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a>, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a> found a very good friend in Richard Jefferson, a man who walked with him during that impressive run against the Golden State Warriors in 2016, who created a deep bond with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> superstar.</p>
<p>A lot has happened since that moment and things remain the same for both players, who don’t miss a chance to troll each other on social media or during interviews. However, when they need to defend one another, they don’t hesitate and the retired forward had something to say against <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/zlatan--ibrahimovic-t29087" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The AC Milan striker <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/zlatan--ibrahimovic-t29087" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently criticized LeBron James for his activism, stating that he should stick to basketball</a> and be outof political issues. The 39-year-old said that he doesn’t like when people reach certain status and start trying to talk about things they’re not educated on.</p>

<h2>Richard Jefferson defends LeBron James from Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s attacks</h2>
<p>LeBron is yet to issue a response to Ibra and it’s unclear if the King will address this situation but somebody who didn’t stay quiet and fired back at the former Los Angeles Galaxy player was Jefferson, who trashed the Swedish for trying to bring down LBJ.</p>
<p>RJ’s response was short but strong, naming a lot of athletes that were activists and really successful in their disciplines, which is exactly what the 4x NBA champion is doing now; he keeps competing at the highest level but doesn’t hesitate to focus on social matters.</p>

Richard Jefferson attacks Zlatan Ibrahimovic after controversial remarks on LeBron James - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Jamal Murray</strong> and the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/denver-nuggets-t100211" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Denver Nuggets</strong></a> had a very tough night against the inspired <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Wizards</strong></a>, losing a very close game with a 112-110 final result. The host team had the chance to win the game in the last seconds but they blew it.</p>
<p>This is ironic knowing that the Nuggets made two teams blow 3-1 leads in the Orlando bubble and now they were the ones missing a big opportunity to win a game that was very winnable, regardless of the Wizards’ current form.</p>
<p>As he drove to the basket, Murray stopped right behind the arc, waiting for teammates or trying to take care of business by himself. Well, he was ready to make a 3-pointer to win the game but was surrounded by defenders. There were three more players besides him but Murray made a late pass to Facundo Campazzo and the Argentinian couldn’t make the shot.</p>

Jamal Murray takes massive shot at own teammates after crazy last minute vs Wizards

<p>Due to the salary cap and the way the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a></strong>is structured, there’s a huge tendency to overpay players when they sign the secondbig contract of their career. Then, a couple of years later, franchises are <strong>trying to get rid of them</strong> as they can’t seem to live up to their contracts.</p>
<p>Teams overpay players with some upside to prevent them from leaving. Sometimes, they match offer sheets for restricted free agents and end up regretting that, and other times, superstars get hurt and decline but are still <strong>on massive deals.</strong></p>
<p>Their mammoth contracts make it quite tough for NBA teams <strong>to trade or cut them </strong>and, more often than not, they either end up agreeing to a buyout or playing through their contract with subpar averages.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p>This season isn’t the exception to that rule, as we’ve seen a lot of guys getting paid as superstars despite not being worthy of that much money and today, we’ll let you know about <strong>the top 5 most overpaid players in the NBA.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Washington Wizards signed former lottery pick <strong>Otto Porter Jr</strong> to a massive contract extension just to trade him away to the Chicago Bulls a couple of years later. When healthy, Porter Jr has been pretty solid as a 3-and-D presence for them, but that hasn’t happened very often.</p>
<p>Porter Jr has dealt with multiple injuries over the past couple of seasons and is averaging roughly<strong> 11.6 points and 6.3 rebounds</strong> per game for the Bulls this year. He’s set to become a free agent at the end of the year and hopefully, he’ll make something more fitting to his contributions.</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong, I love <strong>Steven Adams</strong>’ game, but he shouldn’t be making that much dough. He’s a solid defender who sets nice picks, put his body on the line, and is a team-first kind of guy, but he’s not worthy nearly $30,000,00.</p>
<p>Adams is averaging 8.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game and has never been much of an offensive factor. He’s not even the third-best player on the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-orleans-pelicans-t100705" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Orleans Pelicans</a>, yet he’s getting more money than <strong>Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Kristaps Porzingis.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mike Conley </strong>claims he deserved to be an All-Star this season because of how well the Utah Jazz is playing. And, even though the Jazz are great this season and he’s been solid, you can’t complain about being snubbed from the All-Star Game if you’re averaging 16.3 points per game.</p>
<p>Conley has always been a solid defender and above-average playmaker but not much more than that. He’s never been an All-Star or the best player on his team, yet he’s making $34 million this season. He’s the<strong> 11th highest-earner </strong>in the league right now.</p>

<h2>2. Blake Griffin – $36,810,996</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>I honestly feel bad for <strong>Blake Griffin</strong>. He was supposed to be the face of the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Clippers </a>and they traded him away after signing him to that huge deal. Now, he’s not even playing with the Detroit Pistons as they try to figure out his future with nearly 3 years left in his contract.</p>
<p>Multiple injuries and lack of motivation have made the former first-overall pick look quite washed this season, and there’s not a team that’s going to absorb such a big contract after watching him average 1<strong>2.3 points and 5.3 rebounds</strong> per game.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>1. John Wall – $41,254,920</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s crazy to think that <strong>John Wall </strong>never played a single minute of his contract extension with the Washington Wizards. Everybody thought it was a mistake when they offered him that much money and time proved the doubters wrong, as he suffered two major injuries and missed a lot of time.</p>
<p>Wall is still a pretty solid player but it’s<strong> not All-Star material anymore</strong> and likely will never be again. He’s averaging 20.1 points and 6.1 assists per game but has missed plenty of games this season due to injury and the Houston Rockets aren’t even in the playoff picture.</p>

The most overpaid players in the NBA

The most overpaid players in the NBA - Bolavip US

<p>As soon as <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kobe-bryant-t127173" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kobe Bryant</strong></a> passed away, fans, the media, and even some NBA players started a campaign to make him the new <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>logo, replacing<strong> Jerry West</strong>. The problem is that the league has never admitted that West is in fact the logo, most likely to avoid paying him for the rights of his silhouette.</p>
<p>And, now that we went through the one-year anniversary of Kobe’s memorial at the STAPLES Center, the campaign is back on track, with <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kyrie Irving</strong></a> posting<strong> a slightly controversial statement on the matter.</strong></p>
<p>According to Kyrie, the league should change the logo to Kobe Bryant because<em><strong> ‘Black Kings built the league’.</strong></em> While no one can deny his statement, making Kobe’s legacy about race shouldn’t be the way to go.</p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving Doubles Down On His Take About Kobe Bryant, NBA Logo</h2>
<p>Then again, Irving didn’t shy away from the controversy – as per usual – and double-down on his take following the <strong>Brooklyn Nets’ victory over the Orlando Magi</strong>c, claiming that he exactly what he wanted to say:<span></span></p>

<p>The greatest players of all time have been mostly African American and that’s a fact.

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/kyrie-irving-t159843" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kyrie Irving</strong></a> is not only paying homage to <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong> on the court but he also wants the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> to give more love to the Black Mamba, as he recently claimed on his Instagram account. The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brooklyn Nets</strong></a> star doesn’t forget about his mentor and he’s ready to keep carrying his legacy.</p>
<p>Moreover, the 29-year-old wants the league to do more to remember the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> icon, giving him the maximum honor any player could receive from the association. KB24 meant a lot to Ky and all the players of his generation and his new proposal celebrates that.</p>
<p>The 2016 NBA champion took to Instagram to ask the league to replace Jerry West, another Lakers legend, with Kobe Bryant as the logo of the NBA. This was something proposed last year but the commissioner made it clear that they aren’t planning to do any changes to the logo right now.</p>

<h2>Kyrie Irving urges NBA to make Kobe Bryant the new logo of the league</h2>
<p>“Gotta Happen, idc what anyone says,” Irving wrote. “BLACK KINGS BUILT THE LEAGUE.” Knowing the good relationship there was between Kobe and Irving, it’s not a shock that the point guard wants to see this, especially knowing how impactful Bryant was in his career.</p>

<h2>Will the NBA make a change of logo in 2021?</h2>
<p>Last year, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed that even though Kobe was great for everybody who saw him play and met him, the league isn’t planning to make him the new logo of the competition. He said there have been so many great players in the league who could also be good to become the new logo and that would be unfair for them.</p>
<p>They did name the All-Star MVP trophy after Kobe, who won that honor a record four times. The Black Mamba won’t ever be forgotten and perhaps in a couple of years, Kyrie and NBA fans will see their wish granted.</p>

The 16-year-old was expected to play with his team next March 5 but that won’t happen now.</p>
<p>It’s been reported that Bronny picked the injury three weeks ago and he underwent surgery to repair the injury. This is a very serious injury but he’s expected to make a full recovery, fortunately.</p>
<p>This was his sophomore season with Sierra Canyon High School but this injury has ended his season prematurely. It’s unclear how much time Bronny will be sidelined with this injury, especially knowing that the state of prep basketball in California is unknown for the rest of the teams.</p>

<h2>How long will Bronny James be out of action?</h2>
<p>As stated above, the state of California is yet to announce if they will permit indoor high school competitions like basketball. That would tell how many games the teenager will miss but if they give the ‘go-ahead’, Bronny would miss this spring.</p>
<p>Tarek Fattal of the Los Angeles Daily News, the injury is believed to be a season-ending one but again, that will depend on how things are handled by the state of California and the organizations in charge of high school competitions.</p>

He’s considered a five-star-rated recruit for the class of 2023, according to 247Sports.com.</p>

Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers: Preview, predictions, odds, and how to watch 2020/21 NBA season - Bolavip US

LeBron and the Lakers look to avoid a 5th straight defeat when they host the Blazers

<p>Most<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> teams </strong>don’t look for role players in the draft lottery. However, late-first-round picks, second-round picks, and even undrafted free agents often end up playing more minutes than those who were taken in the first couple of spots.</p>
<p>Every single team needs players that are willing to put the body on the line. Those<strong> scrappy guys</strong>would do whatever it takes to prove their worth and help their team win, regardless of the praise and recognition.</p>
<p>Those players often fly under the radar and don’t get the credit they deserve for their contributions. That’s why today, we’ll honor them by letting you know about the<strong> top 5 most underrated players in today’s NBA.</strong></p>

<h2>The 5 Most Underrated Players In The NBA</h2>
<h2>5. Joe Ingles</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1614263365156/sites/bolavip/img/2021/02/25/joe_ingles.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Joe Ingles. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Joe Ingles</strong> isn’t the most athletic guy on earth but you shouldn’t let that fool you. Despite his lack of speed, he’s great at positioning himself on defense and can hold his own vs. stronger and faster players night in and night out.</p>
<p>Not only Ingles is a solid defender but he’s also one of the best passing forwards in the game. He can score from all three levels and has an <strong>elite basketball IQ.</strong> He can play on and off the ball and make an impact on every single category.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>4. Kyle Kuzma</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1614263391591/sites/bolavip/img/2021/02/25/kyle_kuzma.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Kyle Kuzma. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Kyle Kuzma</strong> gets a lot of heat on social media because of his personality. He’s outspoken, shares some head-scratching takes, and often talks a big game. That rubs people the wrong way, especially if you play for the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Lakers.</a></p>
<p>Then again, that shouldn’t keep fans from giving Kuzma his flowers. He’s made great strides to become a good defender and he’s proven capable of knocking down shots when his name is called upon. He’s not nearly half as good as he thinks he is,<strong> but he’s still pretty good.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-jwplayer" data-media-id="EXvImFGs" data-player-id="F20MlldI" id="jwplayer-80">   </div>

<h2>3. Fred VanVleet</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1614263423601/sites/bolavip/img/2021/02/25/fred_vanvleet.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Fred VanVleet. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Fred VanVleet </strong>is an example of hard work and resiliency. He went undrafted and kept on grinding. Now, he’s an NBA Champion with a huge paycheck and is starting at shooting guard for the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/toronto-raptors-t100208" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Toronto Raptors.</a></p>
<p>VanVleet doesn’t get the credit he deserves for his pesky and suffocating defense. He’s also a great shooter, whether if it’s pulling up or in catch-and-shoot. His playmaking also goes unnoticed more often than not, but he’s one of the <strong>most versatile combo guards in the NBA.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>2. Malcolm Brogdon</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Talking about versatility, we must mention <strong>Malcolm Brogdon’s</strong> name. The former Rookie of the Year isn’t a flashy player or a guy that will wow you with his athleticism, but he’s a smart player who always makes the right decision and rarely makes a mistake.</p>
<p>Brogdon can play both guard spots, play on and off the ball, and is an outstanding defender. His length allows him to guard multiple spots and he continues to improve as a shooter as well. He’s <strong>one of the smartest players </strong>you’ll find out there.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>1. Marcus Smart</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1614263497907/sites/bolavip/img/2021/02/25/marcus_smart.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Marcus Smart. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Marcus Smart</strong> has to be the most underrated player in the NBA. People judging for his scoring averages and being such a high draft pick, but he brings way more to the table than just points. He’s one of the best and most versatiledefenders we’ve seen in decades.</p>
<p>Despite his size, Smart can guard one through five with ease. He doesn’t mind taking a beating and will put his body on the line <strong>on every single possession. </strong>He’s scrappy, tough, and physical, and will get in your face to get the job done. Also, he’s improved as a three-point shooter and is a solid playmaker but his biggest traits have to be his leadership and relentlessness.</p>

Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat: Predictions, odds, and how to watch the 2020/21 NBA season - Bolavip US

Miami Heat aim for revenge as they come against Utah Jazz again

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong></a>entered this season as the team to beat in the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <strong>NBA</strong>.</a> Besides being the reigning champions, they got way better in the offseason, adding players like <strong>Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell, and Marc Gasol.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis</strong> led the way to start the season in what looked like a somewhat easy path to the playoffs. Then, with Davis’ injury, the team has been exposed, even by not-so-good rivals.</p>
<p>The Lakers have now dropped four games in a row without Davis in the lineup, and it’s pretty clear that coach <strong>Frank Vogel </strong>needs to shake his rotation up, as they can’t afford to slide in the standings ahead of the playoffs.</p>

<h2>LeBron James Says This Losing Skid Won’t Define The Lakers</h2>
<p>So, following their tough loss to the <strong>Utah Jazz,</strong> LeBron James was clearly quite angry and frustrated<em>. The King, </em>however, knows that they’re playing the long game and that this losing skid won’t define them going forward:</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p><em><strong>“It’s a tough stretch for us, but this won’t define who we will be for the rest of the season or the long haul,</strong></em>” James said, as quoted by <strong>Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation.</strong></p>
<p>James continues to lead the race to win the MVP award this season with odds of +150. Should he win, he’d get his fifth award and would only need one more to tie <strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong>, the all-time leader.</p>

<p>Then again, Davis’ loss is a massive blow for their championship aspirations, and LeBron can’t <strong>single-handedly will them into contention</strong>, as great as he is.</p>

<p>It’s still early in the season and Lakers fans shouldn’t panic just yet, but this stretch is pretty worrying. Hopefully, some of the role players will finally step up and help him defend the fort <strong>while <em>The Brow</em> can come back.</strong></p>
