HoopsHype puts together a list of every NBA sideline reporter for the 2024-25 NBA seasaon.
Sideline reporting is one of the coolest jobs in the NBA media world, as teams’ sideline reporters get to travel with the team for road games and cover pretty much every single regular-season game. They also do important work, getting to interview players and coaches during games, and giving fans behind-the-scenes access that they would not get otherwise.
Below, check out all of the sideline reporters covering the NBA in the 2024-25 season.

MVP is the most important individual accolade an NBA player can win, so we decided to put together a list of how legends did in MVP voting throughout their careers, ranking them by the number of seasons they received votes.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar owns the record for most MVPs for one player with six and it will be very hard to beat, but he’s not the leader in most seasons with MVP votes, which belongs to LeBron James with 19.
In case you’re wondering, Michael Jordan comes at No. 6 in this ranking, receiving votes in merely 13 seasons.
Check out the rest of these rankings below.
HoopsHype ranks the Top 10 player older than 40 years old in NBA history, including Karl Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more.
With four-time league MVP LeBron James about to turn 40 years old, we thought it would be a fun time to rank the Top 10 players in NBA history who competed at age 40 or beyond.
James will likely top this list himself by the end of 2025-26 – if not sooner – but for now, this is how we rank the best players to play past the big 4-0.
Numbers are heavily tilted toward modern-era players. Regardless, check out the players with the most All-Star votes in NBA history.
All-Star fan voting is a fun aspect of the NBA’s process for selecting the yearly recipients of the honor, even if it does lead to wonky results at times.
We recently decided to add up all of the All-Star fan votes submitted in league history to rank the players who have received the most in their careers.
Of course, the numbers are heavily tilted toward modern-era players since way more votes are cast by fans now. Also note that the NBA only started disclosing votes for all players (and not just the top-vote getters) in 2017.
Regardless, we thought the results would be interesting, and we were right.
Below, check out the players with the most All-Star votes in NBA history.

The Miami Heat are a third of the way through their season, and they are not where they want to be. A 13-11 record to date is good enough for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference as things stand, yet the Heat never do sixth seeds on purpose. As much as any NBA franchise, they eschew the rebuilds and the bottoming-out process, instead always seeking to keep the can in the air and construct competitive teams from within.
They have been able to do so in recent years due in large part to the excellence of Jimmy Butler. Since acquiring him from the Philadelphia 76ers back in 2019, the six-time All-Star has led Miami to the postseason every year, including two NBA Finals appearances. Playoff Jimmy is a different beast, and the Heat have twice come within three wins of a championship in the Butler Era without being in the NBA’s basement since the days of Dorell Wright.
Butler, though, is deep into the final third of his career. This is his fourteenth NBA season, and as he plays longer, he plays less. Jimmy has never played in more than 64 regular season games while a member of the Heat, and although this has been in part strategic so as to maximize his health for the playoffs, it also means a lot of time and money tied up in a player who spends much of the time on the inactive list.
When the team is good enough to be a high seed, that is manageable, yet the margins are much smaller in the lower seeds. And if the Heat do decide they need to change things up, then by virtue of his upcoming retirement – aged 35, he is already now at an age he once said he would no longer be playing at – Butler might be the best trade candidate. After all, if he abruptly retires, there would be no returning assets at all.
The rumor mill is buzzing with talk of a potential Butler deal, and with trade season beginning in earnest after Christmas, his name will be one of the major ones on the market. There follows a look at seven potential destinations for Butler, should any trade come to pass.

In an interview with HoopsHype, Matthews opened up about his journey, discussing how legendary coaches like Dick Bennett and Tony Bennett, as well as Craig Hodges, influenced him.

HoopsHype ranks the players who averaged the most games played per season in NBA history, playoffs included, to rank NBAs top iron men ever.
In this NBA era plagued by load management and resting during the regular season, it’s doubtful we’re going to see very many Iron Men. For instance, a player who played in 1,192 consecutive games appears on this list, and it’s hard to envision a modern player doing that.
Regardless, there is one active player – a star, at that – who finishes in the Top 10 of this ranking, who you’ll see just below.
Today, we added up games played between the regular season and playoffs to rank the players who appeared in the most games per season in NBA history.
