Brett Phillips's Laugh Remains The Best Thing In Baseball
Brett Phillips, the Brewers’ 21-year-old outfielder, won’t make the big club out of camp, though as one of the franchise’s better prospects, it wouldn’t be crazy to see him come up later this year. In the meantime he’s here to get better, and to show coaches what he can do, and maybe some other base...

Keeping Up With The Antetokounmpos
Last night, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s older brother Thanasis made his debut for the New York Knicks. He scored on his only shot, as the Knicks blew out the Suns at home. Thanasis has spent the year on New York’s D-League team, before getting signed to a 10-day deal on Thursday to fill out an empty Kni...

Zach LaVine Got Some Early Dunk Contest Practice In Against The Bucks

Jabari Parker And An Amazon River Turtle Are Best Friends
It’s been a rough adjustment for the Milwaukee Bucks’ Jabari Parker. Last year’s #2 pick tore his ACL early in his rookie season, and he’s still working on finding his stride.

No One Wants Publicly-Financed Stadiums—Except The People Who Count
The Milwaukee Bucks have—obvious exception aside—been a depressing team to watch this season. The defense that made them one of the surprise teams of 2014-15 has completely disappeared.

Jason Kidd Has A Little Talk With The Bucks About Appropriate Strip Club Attendance
On Tuesday night, the Bucks got rolled by the Lakers—no small feat, considering just how uninterested the Lakers are in winning this year, even if they were capable. But L.A. has not surrendered its most potent home-court advantage: its strip clubs. ...

How The Warriors Streak Ended
24 wins in a row is as impressive of a streak as you’ll ever see to start an NBA season, but the Warriors were close to a different, sneakily difficult record last night. Had they beaten the Milwaukee Bucks, they would have secured the first 7-0 road trip in history. That stat doesn’t leap off the p...

Brewers Prospect Comes Out As Gay
Well this is cool. David Denson came out as gay yesterday and became the first active player in Major League Baseball to do so. The 20-year-old Denson is a power-hitting first baseman currently with the Helena Brewers of the Pioneer League. MLB.com ranks him as the Brewers’ 27th best prospect....

Report: The Mets Backed Out Of The Carlos Gomez Trade Because Of Money
After everyone finally got clear of the #LOLMets Twitter storm that whipped up around last night’s botched trade between the Mets and Brewers, we were given what seemed like a reasonable explanation for why the deal fell apart: the Mets were worried about Carlos Gomez’s bum hip. But a new report cla...

How The Botched Mets Trade Went Down
So: who screwed up? Who was responsible for Wilmer Flores’s tears, and for the Brewers’ goodbye messages to Carlos Gomez, and for the Mets becoming a punchline yet again? And who’s to thank for the most entertaining sports Twitter night since DeAndre Jordan?...
