Kobe Bryant Is Utterly Shameless And I Love Him
On Sunday, Players’ Tribune editorial director Kobe Bryant announced on his website that he is retiring at the end of the NBA season.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2-14 unstoppable suck came up against the Philadelphia 76ers’ 0-18 unmovable wall of shit in Philadelphia Tuesday night. Something had to give, and on this night it was the Lakers, who despite the better record are probably the worse team, and lost 103-91....

Ben Roethlisberger's Trying Really Hard To Pretend He Doesn't Have A Concussion
Ben Roethlisberger is a resilient guy who will generally try to play through just about any injury, but his brain bouncing off the inside of his skull is a bridge too far.

Jahlil Okafor Lays Bare One Of The Flaws With The Process
Nothing good ever happens after midnight. Nothing good ever happens after midnight. Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

Michael Jordan's Ghost Is Retiring, At Fucking Last
This will be Kobe Bryant’s final season. He announced it yesterday, and the news made me think, instantly, of Michael Jordan. The last, greatest, and most devoted of his followers is passing; it’s the latest and most final-seeming of his many deaths, the destruction of his last on-court horcrux. Do ...

Fuck Off, Kobe
The funniest thing about Kobe Bryant’s retirement “announcement” yesterday is that Kobe Bryant was clearly the last person to know that this would be Kobe Bryant’s final season. Honestly, I thought he had announced it already, given that he’s a broken-down old mummy who can no longer play basketball...
I Could Play Better Defense Than James Harden On This Play
Look, James Harden is an elite NBA player, who maybe should have been the MVP last season. He’s good and fine on offense, despite his early slump, but I am saying to you now that he is so bad as a defender that I could put forth, at a minimum, the effort to foul Lance Thomas in this specific instanc...
