Kobe's Not Mad At Mike Brown Or His New Offense. He's Mad At The Guys Who Can't Run It.
Things are not well in Lakerland. They're 1-4, last in the Pacific, and toward the end of last night's loss to Utah, Kobe Bryant gave coach Mike Brown what can only be described as the look. Kobe doesn't hide it when he's angry....
An Angry Lakers Fan Reportedly Pepper-Sprayed A Jazz Fan
At some point during last night's Lakers-Jazz game, two Jazz fans and two Lakers fans were involved a confrontation that went from trash talking and threats to someone reportedly getting pepper-sprayed outside the arena....
The Poor Detroit Pistons Are Currently The Most Depressing Team In The NBA
The video above is what it looks like when the 0-5 Detroit Pistons attempt to play defense. Yep, that's JaVale McGee taking the ball from the three-point line to the rim for an uncontested dunk. The Pistons somehow managed to out-JaVale JaVale....
Rajon Rondo Taught Math To Some High-School Kids Like Only He Could
On Tuesday, Rajon Rondo stopped by Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester, Mass., to tour the school, meet some of the students, and teach a little math. The picture above was tweeted by Rondo that morning, and Boston Magazine has more on the story behind it:...
Aaron Rodgers Feels He Got Screwed By <i>60 Minutes</i>
Aaron Rodgers is not short. But he used to be short (for a quarterback), and it still rankles him immensely, and just about the worst thing you can say to him is that he looks smaller in person. 60 Minutes's Sunday profile of Rodgers caught him at a fan meet-and-greet, and when one unlucky contest...

Tim Duncan Smoothly Gives Fan The Finger In Most Boring And Fundamentally Sound Athlete Meltdown Ever
First, let's get this out of the way: Don't whip our your camera and film athletes when you see them in person. Like the woman who sent this video to us. She was at the CVS on Chase Hill Blvd. in northwestern San Antonio on Friday, heard Tim Duncan was in the store, and returned to her car to wait...
Jason Bay And The Mets Are, Mercifully, Getting A Divorce
One never likes to cheer a breakup, even if the pair was wrong for each other from the get-go, and even if the pair deeply, habitually wounded one another. A breakup is a failure. It's pathetic. It's time wasted, and we have so little of it on this earth....

Steve Blake Apologized To The Fan He Cursed Out, Possibly Because The Fan's Father Is A Big Shot
Friday's "home" loss to the Clippers was frustrating for the then-winless Lakers, and especially for Steve Blake. Getting his first start of the season, Blake racked up three times as many fouls as baskets. Blake heard it from the crowd, but specifically from one fan named Lance Jackson, sitting c...
76ers Forward And Romney Supporter Lavoy Allen Didn't Let Last Night's Election Results Stop Him From Macking
Lavoy Allen voted for Mitt Romney yesterday, so he was no doubt disappointed with how the election turned out. Permafaced actress Stacey Dash was also a Mitt Romney supporter, and was probably bummed out last night, too. Allen, however, tried to make the best of things, and saw last night as the pe...
Which State Would Win A 50-State Battle Royal?
Oh hey, it's Election Day. Don't forget to vote! Just kidding. I don't give a crap if you vote or not. It just makes me feel like a BIG SERIOUS PERSON to lecture all of you about going out and voting. It's the Easterbrookian thing to do. You have a duty to your country and your Lord. Now get out the...
David Stern Did Some Play-By-Play Announcing Last Night
David Stern joined the Utah Jazz broadcast team during last night's Jazz-Grizzlies game to talk about the state of the NBA or something else equally boring. The interview wasn't a complete waste of time, though, because it gave Stern the opportunity to test his announcing chops and call some of th...

Did Ray Allen Change His Phone Number Or Just Dodge The Celtics' Calls?
Maybe you missed this because you were following any of the 300 more important NBA storylines, but the ballad of Ray Allen's cell phone has been one of the dumber and more fascinating subplots of the early NBA season. Let's recap....
Chris Paul Embarrassed Most Of The Cleveland Defense On This One Play
Spin move past Kyrie Irving, crossover on Samardo Samuels, ball fake Anderson Varejao out of his headband. They're all just AI characters in Chris Paul's video game, helplessly watching him fill up the combo meter....
Dion Waiters's 28-Point Performance Put A Big Smile On His Face
The Cleveland Cavaliers downed the Clippers in Los Angeles last night 108-101 thanks to some mega-clutch fourth quarter play from Dion Waiters (with a little help from Kyrie Irving). Waiters hit back-to-back threes in the final minutes to hold off Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and the result put bi...
