What Is The Grossest Thing You’ve Ever Eaten Off A Child’s Plate?<em></em>
We are now deep inside the noggy bowels of the Christmas Shopping Season. And while I can’t offer you any special Black Friday or Cyber Monday or Taco Tuesday savings on The Hike, I can tell you that it makes the perfect gift for anyone who refuses to tell you what they want for Christmas and theref...
Mike Conley, Who Has Been Tearing It Up, Out Indefinitely With Vertebrae Fracture
After last year’s Achilles-hobbled season, after signing the most lucrative contract in NBA history, and after starting this season on a tear, Mike Conley is hurt yet again. This plainly sucks. During the Grizzlies’ matchup against the Hornets last night, the point guard toppled over after a hard ch...
Anthony Davis Explains The Difference Between His Team And Good Teams
The New Orleans Pelicans started the season 0-8 despite having one of the very best basketball players in the world, Anthony Davis, on the roster. They improved a bit with the return of point guard Jrue Holiday, but they lost to a dreadful Mavericks team on Sunday and are now 6-12 on the season. Dav...
Russell Westbrook Is Averaging A Triple-Double Later Into A Season Than Anyone Since Oscar Robertson
You can have your unexpected breakthroughs, and your schadenfreude-inspiring disappointments, but for my money there isn’t anything better in sports than when a player becomes laden with viciously unrealistic expectations—and exceeds them. With Kevin Durant gone and Oklahoma City lacking an identity...
What The Hell Was Aaron Rodgers Doing In This Weird Tent?
The most noteworthy moment from tonight’s Packers-Eagles game was Aaron Rodgers disappearing into a MYSTERY TENT for a bit in the third quarter for some reason. It was initially unclear what the tent was or why Rodgers entered it, and Lisa Salters wasn’t sure what Rodgers was doing....
The Strange Case Of The Manhattan Bandit, Serial High School Track And Field Cheater
It seems like it would be fairly difficult to cheat in a cross country or track race. There’s little gamesmanship in foot racing. You show up, you run for the allotted distance, and you finish. It’s a punishingly simple sport, and unless you are doping, cheating is sort of impossible. Which is all t...
Aaron Rodgers Threw One Of The Prettiest Passes You'll See All Season
Aaron Rodgers is negating with the Eagles’ fearsome pass rush tonight by getting the football out very quickly and not allowing them the time that they would normally be using to put the Packers QB on his ass. Green Bay moved the ball efficiently throughout the first half and they converted their fi...
DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C. It’s a fairly unimportant meeting between two sad sack teams, but it allowed Kentucky teammates DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to reminisce about their friendship and look toward the future, a future in which Co...

James Harden And Clint Capela Are Here To Bless Us With Alley-Oops
Clint Capela is a passable basketball player. But he is very, very nice to pass to if you are the new point guard incarnation of James Harden. You might be surprised to see the third-year center elbow out DeAndre Jordan and—much more to the point—Dwight Howard for the highest field goal percentage i...
Dwight Howard Confronts Shit-Talking Fan
Dwight Howard hears it from fans every time he returns to Los Angeles to play against the Lakers, and last night was no different:...
The Minnesota Timberwolves Are In A Weird Place Right Now
As an increasingly hopeless Wizards fan, I feel qualified to say this to everyone who’d hoped the early season would look more promising for the young Minnesota Timberwolves: this is just sorta what happens when a team is rich in talent but poor in, you know, really knowing how to play good NBA bask...
LeBron James Blocks Layup With His Presence
I’m putting the full highlight reel from LeBron James’s 26-10-13 beatdown of the Sixers in this post, because maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve taken a few minutes to really enjoy a set of vintage LeBron James highlights. If you want to see a few bulldozing drives to the rim, some adept and punish...
Kris Humphries Shatters Backboard, Ends Practice Early
The simplest way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to create an excuse centered on yourself: you’re sick, your grandmother died, etc. The most effective way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to ruin that something entirely: why sit on the bleachers with a feigned headache...
Rockets Set NBA Record For Three-Point Attempts, Get Close To Franchise Record For Largest Blown Lead
While setting an NBA record for the most three-point shots attempted in one game, the Houston Rockets flirted with a franchise record for the biggest collapse....

Never has a public execution been so beautiful as Zach LaVine’s efforts early in the Timberwolves’ bout against Phoenix tonight....
This Zach LaVine Dunk Is Some Extremely Good Shit
Zach LaVine and his teammates were having some fun after practice today, and that led to this dunk making it onto Andrew Wiggins’s Snapchat account:...
Kemba Walker Is Why You Shouldn't Give Up On Young Players
To really appreciate how far Kemba Walker has come, dust off that copy of NBA 2K12, slide it into your wheezing Xbox 360, and find young Kemba on the roster of the 7-59 Charlotte Bobcats, where he is stuck behind D.J. friggin’ Augustin on the depth chart, slinging passes to the likes of Byron Mullen...
