The Packers Are Bad

Oh My God, This Might Be The Best Block I've Ever Seen

Zach LaVine Pulled Off The Rare Free-Throw Putback Dunk
Zach LaVine has always been an athletic freak capable of jamming it on people and pulling off a wide variety of spectacular dunks.

I Wish Kevin Durant Actually Hated Drake
For a moment, watching Drake bump Kevin Durant during a postgame interview, and replaying the wordless death-glare that followed, I thought, maybe the animosity is genuine. This was an electrifying possibility. The Raptors wheeled out their unofficial mascot for a night in his honor and Drake had b...

When Kristaps Porzingis Is Feeling Himself, Look The Fuck Out
If year one of the Kristaps Porzingis Experience was about promise, year two has been about swagger. The 7-foot-3 Latvian showed as a rookie that he belonged in the NBA, that he can fit in, that neither the pace of play nor the opposing talent were too much for him to handle. Early into his sophomor...

Devin Booker Saunters Out, Signs Autograph After Extremely Chill Ejection

The Washington Wizards Are In A Bad Place Right Now
The Wizards are playing like a big pile of dog poop this season, and they delivered their most nauseating performance of the year tonight against the Sixers.
