Here's A New Attempt At Gauging The Defensive Impact Of NBA Players
The defensive impact of individual NBA players is hard to measure, as it's so intertwined with their teammates' performance. Austin Clemens, undeterred, has taken an ambitious shot with his new Adjusted Impact by Court Location model, which attempts to parse out individual impacts on opponent shot s...
The Thunder Are The Thunder Again, And This Is A Brand New Series
I suppose we can go ahead and forget about the first two games of the Western Conference finals, which saw the Serge Ibaka-less Thunder getting swallowed whole by the Spurs while Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did their best to fight off the inevitable.

The Thunder Got Back Serge Ibaka, May Have Gotten Back Into This Series
Now this is more like it. When the Thunder announced they'd lost Serge Ibaka for the remainder of the playoffs to a calf injury, it seemed like we'd all miss out on another classic clash of age vs. youth, savvy vs. athleticism, creative offense vs. "dribble around, then someone shoot!" Ibaka's retur...
Giants CB Prince Amukamara Parties At A Bar Mitzvah
For some reason, Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara went to a bar mitzvah yesterday. He seemed to have a grand time partying with teens, dancing, and celebrating a boy becoming a man. Next round of Shirley Temples on this guy!...

Russell Westbrook To Kevin Durant: "Wake Up"
What we have here (via CJ Fogler) is an excellent opportunity for projection. A fairly innocuous exhortation from one frustrated player to another after a defensive lapse, but in the context of the Spurs' blowout, their 2-0 series lead, and Kevin Durant's and Russell Westbrook's shitty shooting nigh...

Farah trains with Alberto Salazar and the N...
It's Westbrook And Durant Vs. The World Now
The Spurs, because they are the all-consuming, unrelenting Spurs, did everything they were supposed to in their Game 1 matchup with the Thunder last night. With Serge Ibaka off the floor, they put their heads down and attacked the rim over and over again, scoring 66 points in the paint. They were in...

Teemu Selanne Gives One Final Salute To Ducks Fans And The NHL
Teemu Selanne's said goodbye a few times throughout his farewell season, but after the Kings knocked out the Ducks last night, Anaheim's playoff run—and Selanne's season—finally, sadly concluded.

Jack Nicholson Left A Little Kid Hanging At The Clippers Game
Jack Nicholson, betraying his lifelong Lakers fandom, was sitting courtside at last night's playoff game between the Thunder and Clippers. He didn't do much but sit around and look surly, but he did find time to inadvertantly embarrass one young fan before the game got started:...
Michael Sam Is Doing A Reality Show, And That Sucks
So Michael Sam has a reality show now, and I'm just gonna go ahead and align myself with the HOT TAKES crowd and say that Sam just pissed away a whole lot of the goodwill he'd built up for himself these past few months. They can class up the announcement all they like. They can call it a "document...
Non-African Wins Race
Good news and bad news, white people. Good news is, for the first time ever, a non-African (ok, he is a New Zealander) won a 5K race over a field of Kenyan runners on Kenyan soil. No literally, it was a dirt track....
