Kyle Lowry Reminded Everyone That He's Still Good As Hell
The Raptors came into tonight’s game with the suddenly competent Pelicans on a 1-6 skid.

LeBron James Has Had Enough Of Charles Barkley's Shit
Former NBA player and current TNT studio host Charles Barkley has long kept “saying rude things about LeBron James” in his arsenal of Takes That Will Get Me Attention, right next to “saying the Warriors are actually bad.” This has gone on for years, and last night James finally decided that he’d had...
