This Is How The Warriors Will Destroy The World
In three seconds: two passes thrown, roughly 72 feet of hardwood spanned, zero dribbles taken, and suddenly Kevin Durant has yammed it hard. This season we’ve been blessed by frequent instances of Russ and Giannis singlehandedly wrecking shit on the run, but this, um, heartwarming display of teamwor...
Klay Thompson's 60-Point Night Was All Too Easy
What was most striking about Klay Thompson’s 60-point beatdown of the Indiana Pacers tonight was how easy it all was. The Warriors already had one of the best offenses in NBA history last season and they replaced their worst starter with a former MVP during the offseason, so the amount of available ...
Klay Thompson Just Dropped 40 Points In A Half
The Warriors are on pace to finish the season with the best offensive efficiency in NBA history, thanks primarily to the pyrotechnical shooting prowess of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. Klay Thompson started the season out slowly, but tonight he broke all the way out and scored 40 points in the first...
That's Not Meyers Leonard's Name, Bulls PA Guy
The Portland Hale Blazers are playing their only game of the year in Chicago tonight, so the odd mistake of nomenclature is forgivable. Meyers Leonard was misidentified as “Miles” (perhaps it was “Myles?”) tonight and he loudly offered a correction....
Victor Oladipo Turned Dwight Howard Into Dust With One Of The Best Dunks Of The Season
Russell Westbrook notched his sixth straight triple double tonight against the Hawks, but the best highlight from that game comes courtesy of Victor Oladipo, who climbed Mt. Howard and returned with a scalp....
LeBron James And A Few Teammates Opt Out Of Team's Scheduled Stay At Trump-Branded Hotel
The Cleveland Cavaliers are visiting New York this week to play the Knicks on Wednesday, but LeBron James and a few other Cavaliers players will not be staying at a Trump-branded hotel in Manhattan, per reports from ESPN and the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Cavs were not among the three teams who de...
Packers Fan's Drunken Odyssey Ends After He Bungles Daring Truck Stop Escape
Wintertime in Wisconsin is a harsh season for all, including drunken criminals whose schemes may end up foiled by the unforgiving climate. Nathan Tyler Meleski knows the pain....
Behold Everything Beautiful And Ugly About DeMarcus Cousins
The Knicks and the Kings played last night at Madison Square Garden, and at least for those of us who live in New York, it was a far more entertaining spectacle than the shit-ass game between the Giants and Steelers that it overlapped with for most of the early evening. The Knicks were victorious a...
Magic Johnson And Michael Wilbon Return To ESPN's <i>NBA Countdown</i>
Magic Johnson and Michael Wilbon will rejoin ESPN’s NBA pregame show, NBA Countdown, on a limited basis this season, the network announced today. Johnson will work the Christmas slate of games, before joining Wilbon and host Sage Steele for ABC’s nine Saturday broadcasts of the NBA. ...
Amar'e Stoudemire Flattened This Jamoke
At 34 years old, Amar’e Stoudemire doesn’t flex the same explosive, ladder-climbing athleticism he did early on in his NBA career; he’s still fun and destructive on the court, just in a different way....
Report: Matt Barnes Wanted For Allegedly Choking A Woman In A Night Club
According to TMZ and the New York Post, Sacramento Kings forward Matt Barnes is wanted for questioning for allegedly choking a woman in a New York City night club early Monday morning....
Draymond Green Kicks Another Opponent
Saturday afternoon, Warriors forward Draymond Green went off on the NBA for its stance that kicking other players can be an unnatural act:...
Want A Reason To Watch The Miami Heat? (No?) James Johnson<em></em>
The Miami Heat have mostly been a mess this season. An already janky roster has suffered injuries everywhere, and only a truly monster season from Hassan Whiteside and a few splendid Goran Dragic games have kept the Heat from having perhaps the worst record in the Eastern Conference. Oh, and also Ja...
Hell Yeah, The Rockets Are Good And Fun Again<em></em>
Football and baseball have a certain way of derailing even the most meticulously planned seasons, but (barring a Derrick Rose knee explosion or a Kevin Durant foot-shatter) basketball tends to flatten all mitigating factors and let its talent rise to the top. Last year’s Rockets team accomplished no...
Marc Gasol Doesn't Need His Eyes
Marc Gasol, one of the few Grizzlies still standing, was still staring at the opposite basket when he flung this slick assist in their win over the Magic last night. He stole the ball, spotted a streaking Troy Williams out of the corner of his left eye, and didn’t bother to turn around, instead hur...
Draymond Green Needs To Get A Grip
Last night’s double-overtime game between the Rockets and Warriors was perhaps the most entertaining game of the season so far. The level of star power, shot-making, and end-to-end intensity made this one feel like a playoff game that had been transported to December, and that feeling was particular...
Rasheed Wallace On Flint Water Crisis: "It Looks Like A Third-World Country"
The Flint water crisis has gotten less publicity as the year has gone on, but it’s still an ongoing disaster and criminal investigations of those responsible are still active. Former NBA star Rasheed Wallace, who won a championship with the Pistons, went up to Flint to deliver supplies and wrote an ...
The Clippers, Who Appear To Be Legit, Owned The Cavaliers
How many legitimate contenders are there to win the NBA title? Before the season, the almost universally agreed upon answer was two. The Warriors breezed through everyone in the Western Conference last season except the Thunder, whose best player they lured away this summer. The Cavaliers play in th...
Charles Barkley Doesn't Like How The Warriors Play "Little Girly Basketball"
Charles Barkley’s role on Inside the NBA is to spout unfiltered takes and tell viewers how the NBA is stupid now because nobody punches each other. Occasionally he lays down a good take but, more often than not, he grumbles out crotchety opinions about back in the day and straddles the border betwee...
