Deadspin Up All Night: This Is The Day
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. See you all tomorrow. ...
Mitch Kupchak Doesn't Want To Talk About Byron Scott
Byron Scott is a very bad basketball coach. That wasn’t much of a problem for the Lakers last season, when all they wanted to do was lose as many games as possible, but his ineptitude matters a lot more now that he’s responsible for the development of some key young players. It will be an even bigge...
Where Does Future Go Now?
In explaining Outkast’s often radical shifts in sound, style, and subject matter between albums, André 3000 has described those transformations as the natural result of the two- to three-year breaks he and his partner, Big Boi, would take between projects, wherein both rappers would live their lives...
Mikhail Prokhorov's Got Jokes
The Brooklyn Nets don’t have a GM. This is a particularly bad time of year to not have a GM, because unloading some expensive, veteran talent in exchange for draft picks or cap relief is a good way for a bad team to begin trying to unfuck itself. So it was no surprise when Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski...
Down With Cold Pizza
In case you missed it, we’ve decided to change up the old Deadcast here and spend 45 minutes every week doing nothing but answering your Funbag questions (Don’t worry, the regular, written version Funbag will stay where it always is). So if you got something on your mind, email the Funbag and we’ll ...
A Cheap Massage Is The Best Therapy
Nothing makes you feel the wretched tick of time quite like back problems. This isn’t an issue I’ve had formally diagnosed or treated by a real chiropractor. I know that I should. It’s the result of me feeling constant soreness in my lower back and deducing that my muscles are, basically, defective....
NBA Starts To Crack Down On Hack-A-Player Fouls
Those changes Adam Silver talked about earlier this month, designed to cut down on or eliminate the strategy of fouling the shit out of poor free-throw shooters, have already come to partial fruition, and this, at least, didn’t require a rule change....
Bernie Sanders Used A Lot Of Elbows In His Pickup Basketball Games
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders showed off his basketball skills as he awaited the New Hampshire primary results last week, and it became clear that he had a devastating set shot. The Guardian’s Les Carpenter dug into Sanders’s hoops history and found that the politician had been part...
Blake Griffin Apologizes For Punching Clippers Equipment Staffer

Deadpool Is A Superhero Who Refuses To Act Like One
The two biggest movie releases of Summer 2016 are both going to be overwrought action movies cut with brief interludes of Men Breathing Heavily Through Their Noses With Emotion, and they are both going to pull in a small nation’s GDP worth of box office receipts. Take your pick: Batman v. Superman: ...

Reports: The Heat Are Scared Chris Bosh's Blood Clots Have Returned
Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh pulled out of the All-Star Game because of a strained calf, but stuck around Toronto to enjoy in some of the festivities as his decision not to participate was mostly a precaution. He has since returned to Miami for additional medical tests, and those tests may have ind...

Lifelong Failure Carly Fiorina Does What She Does Best
If Carly Fiorina’s life were a television series, last Wednesday’s season finale would have occasioned a lot of groaning about lazy formulas. Really? Another season ending with Carly an utter abject failure, and the people who worked for her unemployed? For chrissakes, House was more unpredictable t...
How To Manage Hypochondriasis
I am a hypochondriac, which is to say I’m constantly and acutely obsessed with the idea that I’m suffering from, or I’m about to be diagnosed with, a serious medical condition. For as long as I can recall—I was born in 1985, and so possess at least somewhat vivid memories dating back to late ’89, ea...
The Warriors May Have No Bigger Fan Than Gregg Popovich
All-Star Weekend is a good breather from one of the least up-for-grabs NBA seasons in recent memory. If we want to be honest with ourselves, there are only three teams with realistic title hopes. And if we want to be really honest, the Cavs probably can’t hang with the West’s best—there are only two...
