LeBron Told A Great Story About The First Time He Met Timofey Mozgov
As far as athlete speeches go, LeBron James’s address to a sea of Cavaliers fans at yesterday’s victory parade was pretty great. James spent his 15 minutes on stage cursin’ and jokin’ and thanking each of his teammates individually. The best moment came when he got to Timofey Mozgov....

Celtics Win Trade Between Nets And Pacers
The Brooklyn Nets have gotten themselves into the pre-draft trade bonanza, reportedly sending forward Thaddeus Young to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for the 20th pick in tonight’s draft and a future second-round pick. To the Pacers I say, “So you just traded for Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young this...

Shut Up, Joe Lacob

An Incomplete, Amateurish NBA Draft Preview
The NBA Draft is Thursday, which feels way too soon given that a few Cavaliers are probably still drunk from post-Game 7 festivities. The best perk of a Finals going seven games is a short refractory period between the best actual basketball of the year and the best imaginary basketball of the year....
NBA First-Round Picks Are Getting Royally Boned This Year
We mentioned it briefly last week, but it’s worth noting again: this is the absolute worst year to enter the NBA as a first-round draft pick....

Now You Can Watch LeBron's Block From Every Conceivable Angle
Just when I thought I was finally ready to move on from The Block, the NBA went ahead and put together this compilation that shows it from every angle in the arena. The one that starts at the 27-second mark had me hootin’ and hollerin’ all over again....
Not Now, Dwyane Wade
A lot of people are still thinking about NBA Finals. And who can blame them? Some truly wild shit went down in that series, and it capped off one of the most improbable comebacks in sports history. Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is also thinking about the Finals ... from 2006:...

Stephen A. Smith Is Now 0-For-6 Picking The NBA Finals
Predictions are a weird thing. No one knows what’s actually going to happen (or they wouldn’t have to even play the games), and predictions don’t affect the outcome or even add value to the viewing experience. Yet everyone does them, because fans can’t get enough of them, and they’re harmless fun. B...

My favorite quote to come out of a post-Finals coronation that was full of good ones came from Cavaliers GM David Griffin. Here’s what he had to say to ESPN’s Zach Lowe right after his team’s Game 7 victory:...
The Warriors, Uh, Reportedly Want Dirk Nowitzki
The NBA Finals have come and gone, and it’s now officially NBA silly season, a wonderful time for fake trades to surface, GMs to draft mysterious Surinamese power forwards, and outlandish free agency plots to bloom and die. If you’re a fan of a dogshit team, this is your Christmas. Your team is tota...
LeBron's Block Still Doesn't Seem Possible
A lot of incredible, spectacular shit went into Game 7. The balance of all this shit tilted slightly in favor of the Cavs, and that was always going to be the case in any scenario that had the Cavs actually winning—in a strictly player-for-player accounting, they are very clearly less good than the ...
