A Treasure Trove Of Very Sad 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers, now in year three of their shameless rebuild, are 0-15. Playing for an 0-15 team that ranks dead last in points per game and leads the league in turnovers can’t be much fun, so it’s no surprise that 76ers Players Looking Really Sad has started to become an internet genre of s...

How To Get Four Offensive Rebounds In 11 Seconds, Starring Andre Drummond
This sequence, from last night’s Pistons-Bucks game, is just hilarious. That’s Andre Drummond—the biggest, baddest rebounder in the league—deploying his brute strength, nose for the ball, and lack of finesse in a way that perfectly encapsulates him as a player....
Who Knew Attempted Intentional Fouls Could Be So Funny?
The Knicks attempted to come back late in the fourth against the Heat by intentionally fouling Hassan Whiteside, a 51 percent career free throw shooter. But Whiteside went 4-6 on free throws in the quarter, and the Knicks lost by 17....
Why Is The NBA Replay Center Watching <i>Animal House</i>?
Reader Chris caught this odd moment during today’s Sixers-Timberwolves matchup, as late in the game a play demanded review from the NBA’s replay center in Secaucus. The live camera shot from inside that center showed, strangely, the movie Animal House showing on several of the screens....

If your contribution to Thanksgiving dinner is usually a bottle of wine you grabbed on your way over to your aunt’s house, it’s time to step things up a bit. Put your freeloading holiday tradition behind you, and put on your chef’s hat, because today we’re going to teach you about pride and baking a...
Wu-Tang Clan Album Skits, Ranked
Prince Paul and De La Soul popularized the hip-hop skit, and Dr. Dre turned the concept cinematic, but the nine-man Wu-Tang Clan raised it to the level of esoteric art. Mixing stream-of-blunted-consciousness talk with pulp-fiction plot twists, copious gunshots, and equal parts skewed humor and authe...
The<i> Rocky </i>Movies, Ranked
Sylvester Stallone’s recent sit-down with Robert Rodriguez for The Director’s Chair made a pretty compelling case that the Rocky movies ought to be taken seriously as Sly’s greatest artistic achievement. Sure, most of them are exactly the same movie. (Rocky has to fight somebody no one thinks he ca...
Jose Calderon Left Hanging By Ruthless Fan
I don’t know the full story behind this savage own, which appears to have happened before, but I do know that this man is perhaps the world’s greatest agent of chaos:...
A Dead Pet Bunny, And More Of Your Grimmest Thanksgiving Disasters
Last year, at my family’s Thanksgiving celebration, I bestowed upon my brother the honor of carving the turkey. He stared at the bird for a solid minute, halfheartedly holding a tine and knife, before dropping the tools and tearing into it with his bare hands. Last week we asked you to tell us your ...
How Often Do I Have To Change My Pants?
Ask An Adequate Woman is a space where folks can ask the questions they can’t—or maybe just won’t!—pose to their friends about relationships, fashion, family dramas, dating, existential crises, weird sex stuff, and everything else. The Women of Deadspin (and some of our clever friends) are here to h...

Kobe Bryant Shocked That He's The Voice Of "Ball Movement Reason" For The Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are, unsurprisingly, very bad this year. They’re in the bottom seven in both defensive and offensive rating, Byron Scott doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing, and Kobe Bryant has been comically awful when he’s not taking mandated days off....
King Kristaps Porzingis Keeps Getting Better
The Rockets are really struggling to get wins thus far, but they’re still a dangerous team. And yet, the New York Knicks beat them in Houston last night, thanks to a historic game from one Kristaps Porzingis. He became only the second player ever to record at least 24 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocks, ...
Fire Extinguisher Becomes Weapon In Fight Between Robin Lopez And The Rockets Mascot
Robin Lopez does not like mascots. He has had an ongoing series of beeves with just about every mascot in the NBA, including our friend Clutch the bear here. You may recall the wonderfully cryptic interview he gave about his disdain for the Toronto Raptor, but he is by no means limited to anti-repti...
Washington State Quarterback Carted Off After Being Knocked Out By Blow To The Head [UPDATE]
Luke Falk has been a folk hero to Cougars fans in leading Washington State to its best record in years, but the quarterback left today’s game against Colorado in the third quarter after a big hit left the back of his head ricocheting off the turf in Pullman. ...

Oh Huh, The Dallas Mavericks Might Be Good Again
The Dallas Mavericks were lumped in with the Portland Trailblazers as teams most likely to drop out of the playoffs this year. They missed out on Texas natives DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge, then overpaid for Wesley Matthews. The Great Emoji War was not kind to them. And yet here they are, wi...
