What The Hell Are The Lakers Doing With D'Angelo Russell?
With the second pick in the 2015 draft, the Los Angeles Lakers considered selecting Kristaps Porzingis, but ultimately passed because, in the words of head coach Byron Scott, “[We] just thought it was going to take him some time [to develop].”...
The Sacramento Kings Are Starting To Show Some Cracks
It’s actually surprising that it took all of eight games for the Sacramento Kings, a team that spent the offseason doing whatever it could to claim the Most Dysfunctional Franchise award, to start experiencing some internal drama. But we’re finally starting to get down into the shit, with DeMarcus C...
ESPN's Promo For Mavericks-Clippers Goofs On The DeAndre Jordan Saga
The late-night standoff/sleepover that wooed DeAndre Jordan away from the Mavericks and back onto the Clippers will forever be one of the funniest moments in sports. So I’m cool with this silly ESPN promo for tomorrow night’s game between the Mavericks and Clippers, because nobody should ever stop m...
The T-Wolves Clobbered The Hawks And Slap-Happy Jeff Teague
It had been a long and frustrating sequence for Jeff Teague. He’d had his shot blocked twice by terrifying rubber giant Karl-Anthony Towns. The refs had missed a possible eight-second violation on the Timberwolves. Andrew Wiggins hit a crazy and-one. A tie game had become a six-point deficit with a ...
Draymond Green Throws Spectacular No-Look Inbounds Pass While Arguing With Ref
If you thought the 8-0 Golden State Warriors couldn’t get any better, think again. During Monday night’s 109-95 victory over the Detroit Pistons, Draymond Green unveiled a never-before-seen no-look inbounds pass, made even more impressive by the fact that he pulled it off while arguing with the refe...
Kelly Olynyk Attempts To Finish Burrito In Just Four Bites
The NBA season is long and the plane rides are plentiful, leaving plenty of time for shenanigans. On a recent team flight Celtics center Kelly Olynyk was somehow convinced to attempt to take down a monster burrito in just four bites, and of course Amir Johnson documented it (and posted it to Snapcha...
Cam Newton Vs. The Packers Banner Has A Happy Ending
Banners! Let’s talk about banners. It’s much more interesting than talking about how the Panthers are 8-0*, and with a two-game lead plus the tiebreaker over the Packers, are firmly in the driver’s seat for homefield advantage in the NFC. Because homefield isn’t so great if you’ve got a bunch of a v...
The Packers Were Mad At Their Tablets And Each Other
The Packers have lost two games in a row with Aaron Rodgers starting at quarterback, which hasn’t happened since 2010. Green Bay was contained against the Broncos last Sunday, and yesterday, the Panthers held on for a 37-29 win. Multiple players showed their frustrations on the sideline....
Timofey Mozgov Hit First Cleveland Three-Pointer
Timofey Mozgov is strongest, also largest. Mozgov dunk; Mozgov rebound; Mozgov block shot. But Mozgov is not oaf! Mozgov have skill. Mozgov shoot three!...
Kobe Bryant On Knicks' Offense: "That Ain't No Fucking Triangle, That's A Square"
Kobe Bryant played the Knicks in Madison Square Garden yesterday, which of course means he got to spend some time talking shit with Spike Lee. Thankfully, another fan sitting courtside recorded a bit of last night’s meeting between the two:...
Kobe Bryant, What Are You Doing?
This is not a long video, nor a particularly great quality one, but it is very illustrative....
A Blown Goaltending Call Might Have Cost The Clippers Their Revenge Against The Rockets
With just about a shot clock’s worth of time left in the fourth quarter in last night’s Clippers-Rockets game, Blake Griffin rose and missed a layup that would have tied the game at 107. His follow-up also missed, thanks in part to Dwight Howard tipping it away when it was above the cylinder....
Andrew Wiggins Dunked All Over The Bulls Last Night
For a maybe-bad team, the Wolves are really fun to watch. Karl-Anthony Towns looks good and tall and spry, Ricky Rubio is finally healthy, and Young Cock Andrew Wiggins has, so far, done a better job converting his all-world athleticism into production than last year. And he won Rookie Of The Year l...
Fed Up Spurs Color Commentator Draws Dick & Balls On Broadcast
Sean Elliott, a terrible color commentator for the Spurs, was fed up yesterday for a series of technical difficulties and took his revenge here in the fourth quarter. Perfect execution for the Spurs, as always....
Latvian Dunks Basketball
Kristaps Porzingis, a Baltic giraffe who plays for the Knicks, is already cool and fun, which is a welcome surprise after a summer where he was tabbed as quite the project. Turns out being the size of telecommunications infrastructure, reasonably agile, and in possession of a shooting stroke are all...
LeBron James And Kevin Love Have Resolved Their Beef
Remember those subtweets, stilted interviews, and posed Instagram pictures that had a lot of people wondering if there was a rift between LeBron James and Kevin Love last year? Well, according to the Akron Beacon Journal, there was indeed some fire behind all that smoke....
Will Kobe Bryant Survive This Season?
The early part of the NBA season has been defined by a torrent of incredible Steph Curry highlights and an alternate, uglier torrent of Kobe Bryant lowlights, wherein the Lakers superstar is hopelessly air-balling shot after shot as his teammates—still regarded by Kobe as mere assistants—look on hel...
This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Kobe Bryant Gets The <i>NBA Jam</i> Treatment, And He's Not Exactly On Fire
I can’t tell if these tears coming down my face are ones of laughter or sadness, but I’m crying all the same....
