Scottie Pippen Jr. hit a clutch shot against Temple, but still has long way to go in reaching dad’s level

As the son of an NBA legend, it can be tough, especially if you take up the same sport as your pop’s. It’s even more challenging when you’re named after that legend, like Scottie Pippen Jr. is. Still, Scottie Jr. is forging his own path at Vanderbilt. He showed off his clutch genes against Temple Tu...

Michael Porter Jr. is the latest NBA player that believes in science when they need surgery, but not when it comes to vaccines

Remember the Aussie band Men at Work? Well, this guy isn’t

Any day, Kyrie Irving could wake up, realize that he’s put his best intentions of standing up for individual rights in the wrong place by pitting that against public health, realize that he’s being used by some of the worst people in society, get the COVID-19 vaccine, and get back to his career play...
