Kevin Durant Has Suggestion For Heckler: "Watch The Fucking Game And Shut The Fuck Up"
The Warriors, who might not be all that functional without Steph Curry to make them whir, went 0-3 on their Texas road trip last week. At some point early in Saturday’s 112-109 loss to the Mavericks, Kevin Durant walked up to the front row of fans, craned forward and attempted to shut up some heckle...
I Hope Kemba Walker Joins A Good Team
Sometimes a losing performance is so searingly good that even the cheeseball who sunk the game-winner has to immediately pay his dues. “I will say, Kemba gave me 60 tonight. I will have to say that one,” said Jimmy Butler, who was tasked with shutting down Walker for much of Saturday night, minutes ...
The Wizards Are No Longer A Basketball Team
If you have the stomach for it, pick a night when the Washington Wizards have a game at the same time as another game between pretty much any two other NBA teams, even really shitty ones like the Phoenix Suns or New York Knicks, and spend some time toggling back and forth between the two every few m...
Without Steph Curry, The Warriors Are Mortal
One week ago, the Golden State Warriors were 11-2, Steph Curry was the MVP favorite, and everyone was laughing at the Rockets. Five games later, the Warriors are 12-6, deep-seated personality differences have surfaced, and Curry is out until after Thanksgiving. All is not well, and after an 0-3 stre...
James Worthy Played Bass And The Minutemen's Mike Watt Has The Story To Prove It<em></em>
“Have you always been a basketball fan?” This is me, asking Mike Watt, one of my heroes, a pretty basic question. It is, if we’re being honest, a feeble softball, lobbed with all the force of an Andy Borowitz gag. This happened around noon, an hour earlier than we were supposed to begin our two-man ...
Let's Remember Some Guys: Sabrina The Teenage Witch
Recently, I joined Deadspin as their social editor. My sister, Megan Reynolds, has worked at Jezebel for a little over a year. This means we both now spend at least 40 hours a week together under the same roof. And now that we are together in this professional environment, I realize there are a lot ...
The Bitter Fight For Equal Pay At One Of The World's Biggest Surf Contests
Thirty surfers descended on Half Moon Bay, California, on Oct. 26, boards and wetsuits in tow. The athletes were gathered for a ceremonial paddling-out, a celebration to kick off the official start of big wave surfing season, which traditionally begins in early November and runs through March. For t...

Dwight Howard Heckled By Arena Worker During Post-Game Free-Throw Practice
The hackneyed image of an NBA player taking time after an arena has emptied out to practice getting his shots up becomes a story at least once a season for teams that are failing to meet expectations, or just generally struggling. Fresh off a 115-104 home loss to the Nets that put the Wizards at 5-1...

It Didn't Go Well For The Lawyers Trying To Get A New Derrick Rose Trial
LOS ANGELES — A three-judge panel heard arguments Friday for and against vacating a jury’s decision to find Derrick Rose and two of his friends not liable in a 2016 civil rape trial. A woman, going by Jane Doe, sued Rose as well as his friends Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton in federal court, saying ...
Report: Draymond Green's Suspension Came After He Told Kevin Durant The Warriors Didn't Need Him
The Golden State Warriors decided to hand Draymond Green a one-game suspension without pay because during his argument with Kevin Durant, he invited the two-time finals MVP to leave after the season was over since the team had already won a title before Durant’s arrival, according to a report from Y...
Nikola Jokic Is Back To Taunting Defenses With Absurd Passes
Nikola Jokic has gotten his groove back since his horrendous one-shot game against the Memphis Grizzlies last week. But since his recent high-scoring outputs haven’t yielded wins for Denver, he tried his next best strategy against Atlanta: embarrassing teams with mind-bending passes. The Hawks certa...
Argentinian Basketball Broadcaster Makes "Tucker" Sound Like The Best Name In The World
San Lorenzo de Almagro took on Ferro Carril Oeste in the first leg of this quarterfinal match of the Torneo Super 20—an Argentinian preseason basketball tournament. San Lorenzo would take the win on Wednesday, 96-92, thanks to the late-game heroics of former DePaul Blue Demon, and two-time D-League ...
You Wouldn't Want To Work With Draymond Green, Either
They have been historically great for years and are, when at their unholy apex, probably the most beautiful and terrifying basketball machine ever constructed, but the Golden State Warriors are kind of a corny bunch of dudes. This is nothing on them, really: it’s not their job to be interesting, or ...

Report: The Rockets Have Stuffed Carmelo Anthony Into The Closet Behind The Vacuum Cleaner<em></em>
The Houston Rockets are unofficially done with their short-lived Carmelo Anthony experiment—everybody figured that much already. But according to Adrian Wojnarowski, it looks like Anthony’s next chapter might be a fate worse than free agency. Apparently, Melo’s going to stay on the Rockets’ roster, ...
Most Annoying Warriors Player Says He And Second-Most Annoying Warriors Player Are Cool Now
Crap, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant have resolved their differences like adults, apparently. One day after it was revealed that Green called Durant a “bitch” a whole bunch of times and questioned him over his forthcoming free agency after he fucked up a critical possession in a loss to the Clipper...
