Los Angeles (AFP) - Obsessive perfectionism and a deadly jump shot made Jerry West, who died on Wednesday at age 86, one of the greatest guards in NBA history. His uncompromising will to win and encyclopedic knowledge of the game also made him one of the league's all-time great executives.

Before Michael Jordan's soaring silhouette launched a billion shoe sales, the figure of West slicing toward the basket provided the template for the NBA's red, white and blue logo. "He cut so fast and dar...

New York (AFP) - The NBA banned Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter for life on Wednesday after a bombshell probe found he bet on league matches -- dubbed a "cardinal sin" by NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

"There is nothing more important than protecting the integrity of NBA competition for our fans, our teams and everyone associated with our sp...

Doncic scored 33 points with 13 rebounds and 10 assists. But Mavs star Kyrie Irving was limited to 12 points on four-of-16 shooting and Dallas never led after the first quarter. It ...
