Russell Westbrook Answers Every Question About Kevin Durant By Talking About Fashion
Russell Westbrook, who is averaging a motherfucking triple-double but is somehow a reserve on this year’s All-Star team, took questions from reporters in New Orleans today.

Warriors Prove Their Basketball Strength By Bludgeoning Kings With Insane Third-Quarter Run
The Sacramento Kings went into halftime of tonight’s game against the Golden State Warriors with a three-point lead, all the momentum, and 24 minutes of Draymond Green-less basketball ahead of them.

The Reaction To HB2 Will Go Down As A Fluke Or College Sports' New Standard
