Goodness, This Blake Griffin Pass
Blake Griffin just returned from a lengthy injury layoff to recover from knee surgery, and it appears that he’s been antsy to get back. He went all And-1 to scoot this pass in to J.J. Redick in the first quarter tonight, and thankfully, Redick hit the layup....
Former Refugee Luol Deng Speaks On Trump's Muslim Ban: "That Light Is Turned Off"
Lakers forward Luol Deng was born in what is now South Sudan, and had to flee the country during the Second Sudanese Civil War.

Nobody Knows What Trump's Customs And Border Agents Are Doing At LAX
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT — Nana Sarkisyan brought her passport with her Tuesday, just in case she had to go back to Armenia. Up until a few days ago, that was not the plan.

"I Don't Believe I'm In The U.S. Anymore"
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT—It was hard to not feel enthusiastic when I first arrived Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport, although that feeling would wane by the time I left, replaced by a quote from one woman who had been reunited with her sister after five hours of detainment: “I do...

Oh God The Knicks Are Going To Screw This Melo Shit Up So Completely, I Can't Wait
The Los Angeles Clippers are wounded—literally!—and in trouble. Chris Paul’s out for at least five more weeks with an injured thumb; Blake Griffin only just returned from a knee injury that kept him out of 18 games. They’ve lost three of four, and to some real dogs: the Wolves, Nuggets, and 76ers. T...
These DeAndre Jordan Free Throws Are High Art
DeAndre Jordan stands to have his production decline as much as anyone on the Clippers in Chris Paul’s absence. Jordan is Paul’s primary alley-oop muse, and his offensive rebounding skills are a lot less handy without Paul’s penetration. However, that has nothing to do with Jordan airmailing two fre...
And On This Day In History, Kobe Scored 81

Double Bird-Toting Chargers Fan Kicked Out Of L.A. Event For Loudly Interrupting Dean Spanos
Chargers owner Dean Spanos held an event in Los Angeles to introduce his team to its new city today. The Chargers, clearly ready to create a unique identity for themselves in their new city, met fans and press at, well, the same venue that the Rams held a similar event in a year ago. However, becaus...
The Chargers' Logo Died On Its Way Back To Its Home Planet
Those were a heady few days, weren’t they, after the Chargers announced their move from San Diego and then soft-launched an L.A. logo that looked like the Dodgers logo stuck its dick in a wall socket. It was mocked by hockey teams, booed by Los Angeles basketball fans, color-swapped and mocked again...

Washington's Kelsey Plum Keeps Getting Buckets, Huskies Keep Rolling
UConn is a dynasty and already seems like a lock to secure a slot in the national championship come April. But not even a record-breaking 91-game winning streak can overshadow the fact that some of the most entertaining basketball is being played on the West Coast by Washington senior guard Kelsey P...

No One Wants You, Dean Spanos
The saddest part of this whole thing is that everyone said their goodbyes a year ago. The fans of San Diego gave a raucous, emotional farewell to their NFL team for the last half-century, fully expecting the Chargers to pull up stakes. And then ... they didn’t leave. Like a significant other who dum...

Los Angeles Really Wants To Host The 2024 Olympics
It is becoming increasingly clear that hosting an Olympic Games tends to precede financial ruin. Rio de Janeiro just got finished hosting the Summer Games and the city is more or less out of money. Would-be host cities of the 2022 Winter Games scrambled to take their names out of the running and Bos...
Could Mike Trout Exploit A California Labor Law Quirk To Become A Free Agent Early?
There isn’t a team in Major League Baseball that wouldn’t jump at the chance to sign Mike Trout, whose two MVP awards in his first five years of big league service vastly underrepresent how good he really is. And there isn’t a team that could afford to do so that wouldn’t throw hundreds of millions ...
