Kevin Durant's Tattoo Might Not Have A Misspelled Word In It After All
Yesterday, we drew your attention to what looked like a misspelled word in Kevin Durant's massive back tattoo.

The Pacers Did Everything Wrong On LeBron's Buzzer-Beater
Look at that photo. That's not how iconic playoff game-winners are supposed to look. LeBron James adds a conference finals buzzer-beater to his resumé, as the Heat take a 1-0 series lead over Indiana, but it'll always come with a caveat: conference finals buzzer-beaters probably shouldn't come on un...

What Happened To The Jokes? <em>The Hangover, Part III,</em> Reviewed.
1. The Hangover, Part III is better than Part II, but not by much, and really only because it didn't just recycle, almost beat for beat, the plot of the first film. The plot it lands on this time isn't much better, though, and all told, it doesn't have much more energy than that film did. The two se...

Donald Sterling All But Says Clippers Players Got Vinny Del Negro Fired
T.J. Simers's ability to antagonize pretty much everyone he covers is legendary. So it's twistedly fitting that he's the only L.A. writer to directly call up Donald Sterling, and get the worst owner in sports to be brutally honest about why Vinny Del Negro had to go....
Dipshit TMZ Photographer Is Not Worthy Of JaVale McGee's Time
What kind of dweeb finds himself in the presence of one of the most entertaining and personable players in the NBA, and then proceeds to waste everyone's time by bombarding that player with a series of idiotic questions and riddles? The kind of dweeb who works for TMZ....
Mike Francesa Really Could Not Give Less Of A Shit About Soccer
