Kristaps Porzingis Has Bad Opinions About His Own Nickname
Remember when Kevin Durant tried to give himself the nickname, “The Servant?” That is a garbage nickname for a host of reasons, and thankfully nobody uses it. The first—and only, really—rule of nicknames is that you’re not allowed to give yourself one. The only time your input on your nickname is ap...
Reminder From Russell Westbrook: Don't Get It Twisted

Paul George Is Playing Like A Superstar Again
The Pacers are not a fun team to watch. Aside from Monta Ellis’ inevitable scoring outbursts and the odd Chase Budinger dunk, they don’t produce a lot of highlights. They play with one of the slowest paces in the league and score the fifth-fewest points in the NBA. Myles Turner is the most intriguin...

Oh Shit! Maybe Krapsnaps Bazingas Is A Beast?
When was the last time a Knicks lottery pick inspired as much excitement as Latvian giant Krapsnaps Bazingas, this past summer’s fourth overall pick? Can you recall? I can’t. Probably that is because the last truly excellent player the trash-ass Knicks took in the lottery was Patrick Ewing, 30 years...

Only Time Itself Can Stop Kristaps Porzingis
On the antepenultimate and penultimate possessions, it was the same old Knicks. With three-plus seconds left, Carmelo Anthony clonked a three off the side of the backboard. On the other end, in the Hornets’ second attempt at an inbounds play, Jeremy Lin went over a screen and both Knicks defenders f...
