I Hope The Beef Between Meyers Leonard And DeMarcus Cousins Lasts Forever
DeMarcus Cousins dropped 55 points on Tuesday, but not before dropping a platter of hot beef on Meyers Leonard’s lap.

George Karl: I Struggled Because My Players Didn't Have Good Dads
Longtime NBA head coach George Karl has written a book, titled Furious George, and in it he partakes in the time-honored and always-wack tradition of coaches talking shit about players they used to coach. (Or so we are told by the New York Post, which got its hands on a copy of the book.)...

Good News—Your Job Is Closed On Christmas

Report: CBA Has Exceptions So Harden And Westbrook Can Get Paid This Year

Last summer both teams just signed their cornerstones—Russ...

DeMarcus Cousins Got Ejected, Then Un-Ejected
It was a busy Tuesday for DeMarcus Cousins. Fresh off a $50,000 fine for berating a Sacramento Bee columnist (for which he offered a notably lacking apology), Cousins went out, had a monster game, got ejected, got un-ejected, scored 55 points, led the Kings to a big win over the Blazers, and then ga...

The NBA's New "Kevin Durant Rule" Will Incentivize Young Superstars To Stay Put

This season has been completely useless for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Blake Bortles has rapidly regressed back to the...

Details of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement are still leaking out in dribs and drabs, as the big-money items get the most attention (players naturally want to know how much they’ll be making, and horrified fans want to know exactly how much their team will pay on Jrue Holiday’s inevitab...
