They Aren't Your Friends
A good cover letter apparently should open with an anecdote that displays grit and character and perseverance; it should not just come right out and beg for it. Before I had the slightest idea about any of this, I’d lead with a story about interviewing actor and Deadspin commenter Jon Hamm as a most...

Marcus Smart Is Reportedly "Disgusted" At Lack Of Communication From Celtics
Marcus Smart deserves far more than the one-year, $6 million deal he’ll likely have to settle for. And he’s angry about it.

Under No Circumstances Will You Ever Guess Which Utah Jazz Rookie Provoked A Tussle With Trae Young
The dreaded Grayson Allen started Thursday night’s Hawks-Jazz Summer League tilt in Salt Lake City. You will be very glad to know that he’s shooting poorly and struggling to score (two points on 1-of-10 shooting through three quarters, but a tidy eight assists to zero turnovers). You will not be sur...

Report: Don't Worry, LeBron Is Totally Cool With The Lakers Signing All Those Weirdos
The blueprint for a successful LeBron James-led team has been pretty well-established over the course of the last few seasons: Surround him with as many shooters as possible and wait for him to get them wide-open shots.
