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...
Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
There are so many ways Anthony Davis can humiliate a man. Usually, he does it by extending those stupid-long arms across every inch of airspace over the basketball court, sending away any shot his opponents are foolish enough to send in his direction.

The Wizards' Bandwagon Cam Is Brilliant
If you show up to a Wizards game decked out in the opposition's gear, prepare to be shamed on the jumbotron.

The Path To Remaining Unbeaten In The NCAA This Year
Like most basketball fans, I enjoy close games. A contest featuring teams separated by one or two possessions late makes for enthralling theater.
