Steve Kerr Says Trump's "Shocking And Horrible" Immigration Ban Will Only Support Terrorism

Oh God The Knicks Are Going To Screw This Melo Shit Up So Completely, I Can't Wait
The Los Angeles Clippers are wounded—literally!—and in trouble. Chris Paul’s out for at least five more weeks with an injured thumb; Blake Griffin only just returned from a knee injury that kept him out of 18 games. They’ve lost three of four, and to some real dogs: the Wolves, Nuggets, and 76ers. T...

Enes Kanter Broke His Arm Punching A Chair [Update]
Thunder big man Enes Kanter, clearly fed up with his team’s first-half struggles against the lowly Dallas Mavericks, took his frustrations out on an innocent bench chair and socked it. He probably didn’t expect it to bite back, but he somehow failed to properly punch a stationary chair, and he left ...
Here Are Your NBA All-Star Reserves
I hope you like watching the Warriors play basketball, because both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green made the NBA All-Star game for the second year running. DeAndre Jordan somehow made it over Rudy Gobert, which is a travesty, but at least Handsome Gordon Hayward got in there....
Rajon Rondo Went In On Dwyane Wade And Jimmy Butler
The beef that Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler slapped on the grill after last night’s chokejob against the Hawks has just been flipped over and salted by Rajon Rondo, who went in on the team’s leaders this evening on Instagram....
DeMarcus Cousins's Relationship With The Kings Is Just As Dysfunctional As You Thought
ESPN dropped a huge feature this morning that attempts to answer the eternal questions about the Kings: Can DeMarcus Cousins win in Sacramento, and who is to blame for the team’s ever-present dysfunction? You should really go read the entire thing. ...
Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
Report: LeBron James Wants The Cavaliers To Increase Payroll

Dion Waiters Has The Perfect Quote For This, Just Give Him A Second
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters has helped his team beat two opponents this week, both times with ill-advised, game-winning threes, and he’s feeling good. The situation reminds him of something a great thinker once said ... hold on, it’ll come to him....
The Carmelo Anthony Saga Just Keeps Getting Messier
All of this is just so embarrassing for the Knicks, who for whatever reason just can’t seem to have a boring, dignified losing season like so many other teams. Oh no, this has to turn into open discord between their best player and the man running the shots, as a series of leaks have revealed that t...
The Bulls Are Melting Down
A whole season’s worth of frustration came to a head for the Chicago Bulls tonight. Chicago is 23-24, just a hair ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks for the eighth seed, and they have an indisputably worthy all-star starter in Jimmy Butler. Yet the team is clearly harboring some internal tensions and toni...
Dion Waiters Is A Clutch Genius Now, I Guess
Dion Waiters has never met a contested three-pointer that he didn’t want to kiss on the mouth, and somehow, that tendency has helped him knock in a pair of game-winners this week against the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets, the opposite of the Golden State Warriors....
The Cavaliers' Bad Week Just Got Worse
What’s a bad way for the Cleveland Cavaliers to follow up a 2-5 lull and a very public callout of the front office?...
Malcolm Brogdon, The NBA's Second-Best Rookie, Has A Habit Of Dunking On People
Joel Embiid and his historic season aside, this class of NBA rookies hasn’t looked all that strong yet. One half of a season is not enough time to come to a conclusion about anyone’s career, but so far this class has been, as NBA.com’s Scott Howard-Cooper put it a month ago, bad. The number-one pick...
Mike D'Antoni Joins Ongoing Roast Of Alternative Facts-Peddler Sean Spicer
The Rockets have gone 3-5 over their past eight games, but if you look at those numbers in a different light, they’ve actually gone 8-0. Most cowardly media elites won’t tell you this....

Advertisements on NBA jerseys were inevitable, and we just got our first glimpse of the logos that will appear on the upper-left corners of jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season, when the league begins its apparel deal with Nike. Here’s a look at the Celtics, Kings, and Sixers uniforms, courtesy ...
