Kevin Durant Is Inevitable
The Thunder played a basketball game last night, and that means that Kevin Durant did something amazing. The Slim Reaper didn't get pissed off this time, but he still dropped 41 points on 25 shots and won a game with two unguardable shots, the last a pull-up floater that the Hawks couldn't have bloc...
North Hollywood Forty
I WAS sitting at the window of a ninth-floor room in the Stoneleigh Hotel the week before Hollywood Henderson's wedding, facing approximately north, reckoning by the Dallas Cowboys tower out on North Central Expressway.

Sports Talk Radio: Art Rust Jr.
When I was a kid in the early 1980s, before WFAN, I listened to Art Rust Jr. talk sports on WABC radio.

Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
