Kevin Durant To Media: "You Guys Really Don't Know Shit."
Kevin Durant's in New York for tonight's NBA All-Star game, and yesterday he had to spend some time speaking to media. One reporter asked about Scotty Brooks's job status, since Durant's Oklahoma City Thunder are 28-25 and currently a half-game out of the Western Conference playoffs. In response, th...
Victor Oladipo Sings Horribly, Throws Down Tremendous Dunk
Victor Oladipo, the living and sole justification for the existence of the Orlando Magic, entered tonight's slam dunk contest in Brooklyn to a hilariously off-key rendition of the theme to "New York, New York" before throwing down what turned out to be a pretty damn good dunk in the opening round of...
The NBA Players Union Made Two Big Decisions Yesterday
The NBA’s All-Star Weekend is mostly just a 72 hour party with some “basketball” thrown in there to give everybody a break from partying, but some important business is conducted too. Perhaps the most important is the National Basketball Player’s Association (NBPA) meeting, which happens every All-S...
A Way-Too-Serious Scouting Report On The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
The Celebrity Game is without question the crown jewel of NBA All-Star Weekend, an event that provides the too-rare opportunity to see the TV and movie and music stars (and in some case, "stars") the world worships be extremely terrible at something, and for however brief a second, be able to say ...
Mo'ne Davis Hits Kevin Hart With The Spin-O-Rama
I'll forgive you for spending your Friday night doing something other than watching the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. In summary: some shots were made, some shots were missed, one of the teams won, and Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis threw Kevin Hart into the blender and chopped him up....
James Dolan Is Not Sorry About Being A Shitty Person
At a charity event today, Knicks owner James Dolan finally spoke about the email he sent this past Sunday, in which he responded to a lifelong fan's harsh but fair criticism by accusing that fan of being a miserable alcoholic.

Dwight Howard Mashes His Hand Into Teammate's Crotch
Dwight Howard, who always needs your attention, didn't play in the Rockets' game against the Clippers Wednesday, but he did take part in a sideline interview, and after that sideline interview, he walked back to the bench and jammed his hand into Isaiah Canaan's junk....
Did This Comments Section Nostradamus Predict The Warriors' Season?
Most internet commenters are dumb, and you're better off never venturing into the comments section. A lot of the Deadspin staff subscribes to the Cigarette Theory of internet comments, which states that reading an internet comment is akin to smoking a cigarette. It's fine if you do so sparingly, but...
Charles Barkley Doesn't Give A Shit About Propriety On Live TV
Charles Barkley is always going to say whatever he wants to say, live TV and censors be damned. For some reason he objects to the idea that the Kings would discuss their head coaching position with DeMarcus Cousins—I'm not sure why the Kings wouldn't want to talk with their maximum contract star a...
Dan Gilbert Didn't Like A Yahoo Blog Post, So Yahoo Deleted It
Quicken Loans is a predatory lender. It's impossible to read the numerous lawsuits against the mortgage company and conclude otherwise. So when Kelly Dwyer, the editor of Yahoo's popular NBA blog Ball Don't Lie, made an offhand joke about that fact in a post last year, he would have had no reason ...
Reggie Evans Can't Believe That Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Just 20
Hey, Reggie Evans! Want to feel old? Just ask Giannis Antetokounmpo how old he is!...
Keith Olbermann Uppercuts Charles Barkley Into An Erupting Volcano
Charles Barkley said some really dumb stuff about basketball analytics on Tuesday night, and so Keith Olbermann dedicated a segment of his show to calling Chuck an idiot many, many times....
The Mystery Of LeBron's Hairline Has Been Solved (Probably)!
Hey. Hey, you. Hey! Remember back in September when LeBron James, owner of a famously receding hairline, suddenly had hair again? And remember how a few weeks later, his new hair just up and disappeared? Remember?!...
Anthony Mason Is In Bad Shape
Former NBA player Anthony Mason, best known for his defense and physical play on those bruising mid-'90s Knicks teams, is reportedly in critical condition after suffering a heart attack, according to multiple media reports. ...
Karl Malone Is Totally Down To Fight If Kobe Bryant Wants To
Karl Malone went on Huff Post Live today, and host Marc Lamont Hill asked him about his relationship with Kobe Bryant. For those who don't remember (or are too young to remember) 2004, Bryant accused Malone of making a pass at his wife Vanessa. From the ESPN story at the time:...
Former NBAer Desmond Mason Has A Pretty Successful Art Career
You probably haven't thought about Desmond Mason since he last played in the NBA in 2009, or perhaps even before then. The New York Post has an update on his life, and as it turns out, Mason is building a pretty successful second career as an artist: ...
Charles Oakley Says James Dolan Won't Even Look Him In The Eye
Former Knicks player Charles Oakley went on the Boomer & Carton show today to talk about the stuff cranky old basketball players love to talk about: How the game just isn't the same anymore, and how today's players are too damn soft. Once those topics had been exhausted, though, Oakley went on to ta...
