Cavaliers Show Off Everything That's Terrifying About Their Offense In One Play
Since dropping a bizarre overtime game to the lowly Sacramento Kings, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have righted the ship (on-court, anyway).

Nikola Jokic's Two Huge Brothers Go Everywhere He Goes
Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is, at just 21 years old, getting very close to becoming a legitimate NBA superstar. This is owed to his unique game, which is cotton candy to NBA fans who prefer their big men to play with a point guard’s touch and vision. Jokic averaged 23.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 4...

The Roman Economy Was A Powerhouse
We remember the Roman Empire for a great many things. Gladiators are always popular, and the army runs a close second, but the most striking thing about Rome is the monumental landscape of buildings it left behind. The Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, ornate palaces and villas, aqueducts that reach to...
What Would It Look Like, Hypothetically, If A Public Figure Were Suffering The Symptoms Of Dementia?
Ronald Reagan was 69 years old at his inauguration as president in 1981, the oldest anyone had ever been on taking the office—a record that Donald Trump recently beat when he was inaugurated at age 70. Beset by concerns about his advanced age from the beginning, Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s...

What do we know? We know Phil Jackson wants to move Carmelo Anthony before this month’s trade deadline. We know player/coach/GM LeBron James wants the Cavs to make a move to get better ahead of another title push. We know the Knicks are big on Kevin Love, even though a Love-for-Melo swap doesn’t rea...
The Wizards Are For Real
