The WNBA Players Union Is Headed Towards Labor War, But Its Leader Is Nowhere To Be Found<em></em>
Back in July, at the WNBA All-Star weekend in Minneapolis, a league official sidled up to me and asked me a question. Did I know how much money the WNBA had lost last season?...
Let's All Hope This Is As Bad As It Gets For Nikola Jokic
Behold, Nikola Jokic’s one shot attempt against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. In what will hopefully be his worst game of the season, the Nuggets center ended up scoring all four of his points from the free throw line while earning five fouls, and turning the ball over six times in just ...
OG Anunoby Pays Homage To Kawhi Leonard With No-Look Steal
It’s no secret that Kawhi Leonard’s presence on the Raptors has vaulted the team from LeBron’s postseason punching bags to a potential conference championship contender. But OG Anunoby decided to show the Kings just how influential the former Defensive Player of the Year has been with his take on hi...

I Don't Know What Bird Larry Drew's Whistle Sounds Like, But I Want It Dead
Interim coaches need to find some way to reach their players after having the responsibilities of a head coach suddenly thrust upon them during the season. Larry Drew’s approach to communicating with the Cavs is avian in its nature....
CJ McCollum Had Some Sort Of Vendetta Against Donte DiVincenzo
CJ McCollum dropped 40 points on the Bucks during a 118-103 win at home and for some reason, he felt the need to embarrass Donte DiVincenzo at any given opportunity in the process. The signs were there early that McCollum wanted to sap the soul out of the rookie. Just over halfway through the first ...
Somehow, Russell Westbrook's Ankle Did Not Instantly Turn To Crab Meat After This Fall
In the third quarter of Monday’s Pelicans-Thunder game, Oklahoma City point guard Russell Westbrook vied for a rebound and ended up with the ball of his left ankle kissing the floor. It was a gruesome scene; Westbrook screamed more than once and slapped the hardwood before he was carried to the loc...
SB Nation Wrongly Told Two Writers They Couldn't Get Paid Because They Are Under 18<em></em>
A manager from SB Nation, a network of sports blogs that continues to profit off the labor of unpaid and underpaid workers, recently told two writers who are still in high school that they could not be paid for their work because they are under the age of 18....
Omri Casspi Put His Own Twist On The Shammgod
Sure, it was fairly dad-like in the execution, and yes, he seemed to tweak something in his right leg, but this is undoubtedly Omri Casspi dropping Josh Jackson with what we’ll call the Shammg-d crossover in the first quarter of Grizzlies-Suns last night....
Wisconsin Woman Displays Incredible Knowledge Of Cheese
The Bucks decided to run one of the most Wisconsin in-game fan contests ever on Sunday. In order to receive an autographed basketball, a fan had to name more cheeses than Milwaukee guard Sterling Brown did in the span of 30 seconds (17). With a foam cheese on her head, and a toddler on her arm, this...
Jimmy Butler: I Rest When I Want, So Stop Asking
Jimmy Butler stunk last night in the Timberwolves’ 116-99 loss against the Warriors. He scored 21 points on 23 shot attempts—which included a dismal 0-for-8 from three—and was a minus-19 during his time on the floor. But thanks to the disruptive saga that he’s created for himself, that wasn’t the fo...
The Raptors Made Deandre Ayton Look Silly
The Raptors played with some pretty mediocre effort on Friday which kept the terrible Phoenix Suns actually in a game going into the fourth quarter. One of the things that helped Toronto flip the switch and get the offense going was earning some quality assists through the legs of rookie big man Dea...
Stephen A. Smith Tells The Hard Truth About Carmelo Anthony
Last April, Stephen A. Smith rained down righteous fury upon then-Knicks president Phil Jackson. New York fans have probably never felt in greater alignment with ESPN’s handsomely compensated take ejaculator. It was beautiful and cathartic to witness, all storm and fury, audible saliva froth and rec...
LeBron And The Lakers Are Eking Their Way Through This
These Lakers are “Showtime,” ridiculously so, but possibly in some ways that they would rather avoid. The saliva and sucker punch, yes, but also in a more general way. In some sense, the battle to prevent vomit pooling in your mouth from spilling out onto your fresh tuxedo while you race to the toil...
Bleacher Report Accidentally Owns Ice Cream Shop Harry Giles Is Supposed To Like
Bleacher Report published a profile of Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles that opened with the most hackneyed profile technique of all time: the subject eating. This particular eating scene, however, also included 300 words of what amounted to a kind of press release about the company that makes th...
Mitchell Robinson Is A Quiet Gem
It’s the third week of the least accursed Knicks season in quite some time. Kristaps Porzingis is getting accustomed to his new ACL and hamming it up the sideline with no timetable in sight; the tank seems to at least be deliberate this time around; there is belief in coach David Fizdale; and there ...
Klay Thompson Knows How To Break A Slump
Before last night, Klay Thompson was 5-of-36 from deep on the season. Five three-pointers in 232 minutes, over six games, averages out to about one three every 46 minutes. In Monday night’s beatdown of the Chicago Bulls, Thompson shot 14-24 from beyond the arc in 27 minutes, making that one three-po...
Ty Montgomery Says He Wasn't Sure If He Was In The End Zone
Packers running back/return man Ty Montgomery cost Green Bay the chance at a win on Sunday, returning a kickoff out of the end zone and coughing up a fumble rather than taking the touchback and handing the ball to Aaron Rodgers for a textbook two-minute drill. Montgomery understandably did not want ...
Boban Marjanovic Can Ferociously Dunk By Just Kinda Leaning Back
As a general rule, garbage time is unfun to watch—just a bunch of guys scrimmaging out in the public sphere, the actual game long reduced to a formality. The large exception to that rule is named Boban. There will never be a time when 7-foot-3 center Boban Marjanovic is on a basketball court and doe...
