On Feb. 4, the Rockets went to Memphis and beat the Grizzlies by 12 points for their seventh win in eight games, moving to 11-10 for the season. Certainly, Houston was outperforming expectations after trading away James Harden, but nobody knew how bad things were about to get....
Duke? UNC? UConn? Ranking the best NCAA national champs over the past 20 years
Selection Sunday will be the first time we’ve been able to fill out a bracket in two years.

Two tough: Here are the teams who made back-to-back NCAA title games … and how they fared
Back in ancient times — you know, the ’60s and ’70s — UCLA won the damn NCAA title every year and twice on Sundays.

<i>Uncle Drew</i> Probably Shouldn't Exist, But Definitely Isn't Bad
It is not a new or strange thing for professional athletes to want to be seen as more than the sum of their athletic achievements, and you don’t need to be a professional athlete to understand why.

Chris Webber Does NOT Want To Talk About Jalen Rose
Fab Five teammates Chris Webber and Jalen Rose have a famously frosty relationship. When ESPN produced a Jalen Rose-spearheaded 30 for 30 documentary about the 1991-92 and 1992-93 Michigan Wolverines, Webber was the only member of the five not to participate, and he and Rose later had a war of words...

Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....
