This Dwight Howard Lowlight Reel Is Very Rude And Very Funny
If not for all the bad vibes coming off the 76ers and Lakers, there’s a good chance that the 12-14 Rockets would be wearing the Saddest Team in the League crown.

Bougie Food Review: Beet Hummus
I discovered beets in a southern Brazil churrascaria just when I needed them most. For a nearly lifelong vegetarian, spending an otherwise life-affirming semester studying in Buenos Aires wasn’t exactly culinary nirvana, given that that corner of the world ranks highest in beef consumption.

Report: Steve Francis Not Using Drugs, Just Old
The last time we checked in on former NBA player Steve Francis, he was getting strangled by his own chain at a club.

Rajon Rondo's Statement Looks A Lot Like Kobe Bryant's Statement
The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo for one game without pay after he called referee Bill Kennedy a “faggot” in a Dec. 3 game. (Kennedy publicly came out after the incident.)

Andre Drummond And Chris Paul Star In A Very Fun Basketball Play
There are two things that are wonderful about this play. The first, most obvious thing is Chris Paul getting napped by a behind-the-back dribble from Andre Drummond, of all people. The second thing is Drummond, who is a fun player precisely because he plays like a BattleMech that’s got a few bugs in...

The University of Kansas has unearthed a rare audio recording of basketball inventor James Naismith discussing the first-ever basketball game. The audio, recorded in 1939, is a fun listen, and not just because Naismith sounds like a real-life Simpsons character. The best part is when Naismith descri...
