Shaq Released A LaVar Ball Diss Track Last Night, This World Is Hell
Friday night Shaq released a LaVar Ball diss track on TMZ. It would almost be worth losing Friday nights altogether if it meant you could bundle everything in that sentence up and hurl it into the garbage, forever. You cannot! And so the Shaquille O’Neal-LaVar Ball beef now has a soundtrack....

Just What In The Damn Hell Is Kyrie Irving Thinking?
Maybe we will come to learn that actually, LeBron James is Hannibal Lecter. Or Charles Manson.

Maybe he is Donald Trump. ...
Sixers Fans Simply Decided The Sixers Are Good Now, And It Worked
