Rick James Is On the Bench For The Clippers
Paul Pierce is out tonight with an ankle injury, so he dressed up as Rick James on the bench. Pierce is one of the most zealous NBA Halloween enthusiasts, and his frog costume is probably his best work. Clips owner Steve Ballmer was thrilled to meet a funk celebrity....
LeBron Roasted The Warriors At His Halloween Party With Some Extremely Rude Cookies
LeBron James, omnipotent shot blocker and NBA champion, loves Halloween. He had a bunch of his Cavs teammates over this weekend, and they all committed to full-on costumes (especially Iman Shumpert).

DeMarcus Cousins Shows Off A Range Of Emotions After His Fouls
Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins led the NBA with 17 technical fouls last season, so he’s well acquainted with the art of getting T’d up.

76ers Apologize For Preventing Singer With "We Matter" Shirt From Singing Anthem
The Philadelphia 76ers did some dumb shit before their home opener on Tuesday night, cancelling singer Sevyn Streeter’s scheduled performance of the national anthem because Streeter was wearing a shirt with “We Matter” written on it....
I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...
A Very Informative And Timely 2016-17 NBA Season, Uh, Preview

Desiigner Got Booed Off The Court By Sixers Fans
Desiigner, a popular rapper whose song “Panda” hit No. 1 on the charts despite having only one verse, performed at halftime of the Philadelphia 76ers’ season opener.

Anthony Davis Will Show No Mercy
The Pelicans were supposed to be last year’s surprise Western Conference playoff debutante, but instead, injuries and incompetence stripped them of their chance and they pooped out an utterly forgettable 30-win season. Worst of all, Anthony Davis stagnated, got shut down in March with an injury, and...
Joel Embiid Is Feeling Himself
Joel Embiid’s second defensive play in the NBA ended with him wrestling Steven Adams to the floor. Adams is a burly fucker with a nasty attitude, but the rookie went straight at him the first chance he got. On his first offensive possession, he immediately pulled up from three. He missed, just as he...

The Mavericks And Pacers Set Basketball Back A Few Decades On This Sequence
The NBA is back, which means it’s time for cool highlights, like dunks, blocks, and Charles Barkley’s bad takes. But none of those live up to the majesty and splendor of, uh, whatever this is....
