Draymond Green Is Not A Fan Of The NBA's New CBA

It seemed pretty obvious yesterday that Draymond Green’s vague, frustrated tweets, which coincided with news that the NBA and the NBPA had agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, were criticisms of the deal. The Golden State Warriors forward confirmed as much today when he went on a long d...

God, it’s “Get worked up about shitty Hall of Fame takes” season again. Every year I go in feeling optimistic—Oh, maybe my guy will get in this year!—and by mid-December I’d rather pull out my fingernails one by one than look at yet another goddamn ballot with two bewildering selections on it. ...

The leading scorer in college basketball this season isn’t Lonzo Ball, Josh Jackson, or Ivan Rabb. He isn’t even 6-foot. Marcus Keene plays point guard for the Central Michigan Chippewas of the Mid-American Conference, and he has a legitimate chance to become the first 30-point-per-game scorer in co...

Stephen Curry Nails Tough Jumper, Daps Up Opposing Coach

Kristaps Porzingis Was Ready To Scrap

The Knicks took on the Suns last night, and despite losing this matchup of dysfunctional defenses, Kristaps Porzingis posted 34 points (including a perfect 4-of-4 from the arc), eight rebounds, three blocks, three steals, and the feistiest moment of his brief career. In the third quarter, Porzingis...

How The Fuck High Was This <i>New Yorker</i> Guy When He Wrote This <i>Star Wars</i> Take?

Listen. I am not going to try to unpack and critique the bonkers Rogue One review published by the New Yorker’s Richard Brody today. I do not even know where to begin.

The Patriots Can Win With Anyone
