Sounds Like The Nuggets Have Given Up
It takes a village to create a middenheap as large and as foul as the 2014-15 Denver Nuggets.

The Toronto Star found this video of a 13-year-old Curry (number 12) leading the Queensway Christian College Saints Grade 7 and 8 boys basketball team up against the school staff—and his father—during the 2001-02 school year. Not surprisingly, the team went undefeated that year:...
This Is The Worst Shot I've Ever Seen
The above GIF features one of the 400 or so best basketball players in a world earnestly attempting to make a shot—I think—in a real live basketball game that counted in the standings and everything. It went about 20 feet too high, 20 feet too deep, and 20 feet too wide, but at least Alexey Shved is...
Russell Westbrook Literally Got A Dent In His Face
Russell Westbrook whirling dervished his way to a third straight triple-double last night, the kind of performance we've come to expect in his incredible February.

This Kevin Garnett/Stephon Marbury Ad For <i>ESPN The Mag</i> Was Good
On the occasion of, I don't know, Kevin Garnett returning to Minnesota (okay, not really, it's because reader Chris emailed us to remind us of its existence), watch this 1998 commercial for the launch of ESPN The Magazine, featuring KG and then-Wolves teammate Stephon Marbury....
Oh My God Oh My God I Think Russell Westbrook Could Beat Up My Dad
Last night, while we were all arguing about a black-and-blue dress, Russell Westbrook and a gaggle of tall men who were not Kevin Durant were a half-hour down the road from where the llamas were dodging the cops, playing the Phoenix Suns. If you missed it, or forgot, the Oklahoma City Thunder lost...
Kendrick Perkins Had A Very Kendrick Perkins Game
LeBron James was amazing, but I would like to draw your attention to another remarkable performance from last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors: That of Kendrick Perkins, a rusty tugboat that washed up onto a basketball court during a hurricane....
Bulls GM Says Derrick Rose Will Be Back In Time For The Playoffs

Kyle Lowry And DeMar DeRozan: We Are Trash
The Toronto Raptors have hit a bit of a rough patch this month, and the team's struggles have a lot to do with backcourt duo Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan playing like trash. Their words, not mine!...
Paul George Is Practicing Again
Pacers star forward Paul George participated in a full practice with his team for the first time since gruesomely snapping his leg in a FIBA World Cup scrimmage this past summer.

Byron Scott Says He Doesn't Believe In Analytics. No Shit.
Lakers head coach Byron Scott, whose coaching philosophy basically boils down to "let's go out there and do dumb and bad things on the basketball court," was asked a few questions yesterday about how he utilizes analytics to try and improve his team. Brace yourself for his shocking answer....
Jusuf Nurkic Picked Up The Best, Most Disrespectful Technical Possible
Usually Nuggets rookie Jusuf Nurkic is being conventionally disrespectful, talking shit to Marc Gasol after swatting his shot or taunting DeMarcus Cousins all the way down the court after hitting a jumper in his face.
