DeMarcus Cousins Has The Quote Of All-Star Weekend
DeMarcus Cousins has an ugly game. He’s a pouting tornado of elbows and snarls, who tramples over opponents instead of going over or around them. He looks so mad on the court, so the second-time all-star is no doubt enjoying his time up in Toronto away from the Sacramento Kings Circus....
Here, Watch Steph Curry, Michelle Obama, And Ayesha Curry Do A Dubsmash Rendition Of "Barbara Ann"
When the Warriors went to the White House last week, there were some good Obama burns, a passable Steph Curry impression, and three very famous people covering the most annoying Beach Boys song as a trio of demon chipmunks....

Mike Muscala Is Not A Good Rapper
TNT has added a talent show to its NBA All-Star Weekend coverage, and the Atlanta Hawks’ entry came from Mike Muscala, who demonstrated his “skills” on the mic. It was less than impressive....
Jordan Clarkson Had Some Very Prudent Advice For D'Angelo Russell
After Jordan Clarkson and D’Angelo Russell played well in Team USA’s win over the World squad in yesterday’s Rising Stars victory, a reporter asked them a question that translated to, “How freeing did it feel to play for someone else besides Byron Scott for a night?” After answering himself, it sure...
"You're The Kind Of People I Want Eradicated From The Human Race." Watch NBA Refs Read Mean Tweets About Themselves
The NBA Referee’s Association dropped a pretty good video this morning, featuring a bunch of refs reading mean tweets about them sent to the @OfficialNBARefs account. Being an official certainly takes thick skin, so these guys took the burns in stride pretty well, including my favorite one, about To...
The Sixers Realize They're A Big Joke, Are Now Maybe Trying To Fix That
The Philadelphia 76ers, those smirking pioneers of a remarkably misguided, anti-fun, actuarial, game theory-ass approach to NBA basketball, are now starting to realize that you can’t exactly build a winning basketball team while ignoring, well, the basketball. Back in December, the NBA more or less ...
Sage Steele Cuts Off Arcade Fire Singer Win Butler's Attempt To Talk About Health Care
Win Butler won the MVP trophy at today’s Celebrity All-Star game in Toronto, and the Arcade Fire frontman used his post-game interview with Sage Steele to suggest that the U.S. could learn a few things from Canada this election year. Steele wasn’t having anything of it, shutting Butler down with a “...
Lamar Odom Makes First Appearance After Overdose, At Kanye West's Fashion Show
Lamar Odom looks to be in remarkably good shape, considering no one knew if he’d survive in the immediate aftermath of an October drug overdose which put him in a coma for four days. Yesterday was his first public appearance since his hospitalization, showing up with wife Khloe Kardashian and her fa...
Kevin Durant Breaks Down While Talking About The Death Of Monty Williams's Wife
The Oklahoma City Thunder played their first game since the Wednesday death of Ingrid Williams, wife of Thunder assistant and former Pelicans head coach Monty Williams, following a car crash. As fate would have it, the Pelicans were in town. All the better for Williams’s former players to drop by....
Give Me An NBA One-On-One Tournament During The Boring, Low Energy All-Star Weekend, Or Give Me Death
The NBA’s All-Star Weekend isn’t very interesting anymore. Of the weekend’s three marquee events, only the Three-Point Contest is compelling. Creativity was drained from the Slam Dunk Contest years ago, and the All-Star Game is played with little more effort than I exert brushing my teeth. But there...
Report: NBA Inching Closer To Ads On Jerseys
Everybody knows it’s not a matter of if, but when, the NBA decides to put ads on jerseys. According to a report from ESPN, that when could be soon: the 2017-18 season, when the NBA’s new jersey deal with Nike kicks in. ...
Report: The Rockets Are Shopping Dwight Howard
Not really a Woj bomb because it’s kind of obvious—the Rockets are a mess, interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff says they’re a “broken team,” Jason Terry says they don’t like each other—but Yahoo reports that Houston has started calling around the league to find a trade partner for Dwight Howard....
Chris Paul Throws His Body In Front Of Hack-A-Jordan Attempt
Here’s a moment from last night’s game between the Clippers and Celtics, in which Clips point guard Chris Paul invents a great way to short-circuit the Cetlics’ attempt to deploy everyone’s least-favorite NBA strategy:...
Wait, Did The Clippers Pretend To Stab Paul Pierce A Bunch Of Times?
The Clippers played in Boston last night, possibly marking former Celtics great Paul Pierce’s last chance to play in front of his old fans. Pierce received a warm welcome from the crowed when he was introduced, and then participated in a very strange skit with his teammates....
Monty Williams's Wife Dies In Car Accident
Ingrid Williams, the wife of Thunder assistant and former Pelicans head coach Monty Williams, died last night of injuries suffered in a car crash the day before. She was 44. Monty and Ingrid Williams have five kids, between the ages of 5 and 17....
LeBron James Rifles Pass Into D'Angelo Russell's Dong
I really didn’t need to see three replays of this....
