A game winning shot is always a treat to watch, no matter how many times it has been replicated. It’s a shot that is taken in the closing moments of the game when a team is either tied or down by some points. Then, out of nowhere a player from trailing team shoots a buzzer beater and gives his team an unlikely win. 

Almost every player in NBA has his own signature move, a move that he does so accurately, confidently and frequently that it becomes synonymous with his name. Some signature moves leave such a huge impact on the game that people remember them forever.

Draft-day trades are always considered very risky because you are not sure whether the acquired player will be able to deliver at professional level or not. But if the gamble pays off then it brings a lot of success to the team.

After scoring 30,000 points, Kobe Bryant is now become only the fifth player to reach the 30,000 point mark in NBA history. He scored his 30,000th point at the age of 34 which makes him the youngest to achieve this milestone. Ironically, the points came against the New Orleans Hornets, a team that originally picked him in the NBA draft but traded his rights to the Lakers before he played even a single game for them. With this achievement, now he joins an extremely exclusive club of those players who scored at least 30,000 points in their career.

Every year many trades have been made in NBA. Naturally, every franchise wants to get a good result from the trade but not always they have their wish come true. Some times franchises made such exchanges which look lopsided even from the outside and ultimately they prove costly for the team.

The National Basketball Association is no short of superstitious players. Many players do certain things which they believe affect their game in some way. For others, it might be a bizarre and crazy habit but  it’s a very serious matter for the player who does it. Amongest those superstitious players, few have more weird superstitions than others. In my view, following are the 6 most weird superstitions in NBA history.

We  have seen so many father-son combinations in the history of NBA and certainly, we can expect some more to come in future as well. Let’s find out exactly how many sons have followed in the footsteps of their fathers and became an NBA like their father used to be.

Tooth injuries are hard to prevent in any sports especially in contact sports like basktball, rugby and soccer. Players experience tooth injuries on regular basis. Among those injuries, probably the worst is losing the tooth by some kind of collision with other player. Other injuries can recover steadily but once you lose a teeth, it can not grow back. 

Boston Celtics

The word Celtics has a special siginificance for the Irish people. It implies the Irish heritage, culture ansd past. That’s why when Walter A. Brown formed a basketabll team in Boston, a city largely populated by Irish-Americans, he chose the nick name Celtics for the team to attract the Irish community.

Houston Rockets

The team was founded in 1967 as San Diego Rockets. The nickname Rockets is quite relevant to the image of the city because this region is known for  spacecrafts, missile and rockets production and programming.
