Hey, James Harden Made A Good Defensive Play!
We often clown on James Harden for his agnostic indifference to defense.

The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t winning the NBA title this season. You know it, I know it, and somewhere deep down, Cavs forward and baldness cure test subject LeBron James has to know it, too.

The Knicks Made Carmelo Anthony Apologize For The Dumbest Thing
Ah yes, we’re finally right back where we belong, in a world where the New York Knicks aren’t a surprising feel-good story, but a bumbling franchise that specializes in pulling bad PR out of thin air. I’m actually surprised it took us this long to get back here....
