Joel Embiid Has No Regrets About Saying "Fuck LaVar Ball"

Lonzo Ball Has Best Game Yet After Ditching Big Baller Brand Sneakers
Lonzo Ball returned to Las Vegas Summer League action last night, but not in his much-ballyhooed Big Baller Brand ZO2s. No, he was wearing a purple pair of Kobe A.D. sneakers. Yes, they kind of look similar to the BBB ZO2....

First Baseman Josh Bell Gets Distracted By Flying Bat, Fails To Realize Ball Is Being Thrown Directly To First Base

The Phillies Are Historically Bad, Even For Them
The last time Deadspin really checked in on the Philadelphia Phillies, it was the end of May. And the Phillies were terrible! They went 6-22 in that month, a disappointing drop-off after a bad-but-not-horrible 11-12 April. Now we’re coming up on the end of June, and have the Phillies turned it aroun...

Markelle Fultz Is Excited About Philly Because Of Its Chicken Sandwiches

Sam Hinkie Leveraged The Orbit Of The Earth To Effectuate Snow Disruption
It’s been a good week for Sixers fans. The team used just one first-rounder from its draft-pick surplus to move up to the No. 1 spot in the NBA Draft, where it will take Markelle Fultz. That gives the team a young corps of Fultz, Ben Simmons, Dario Šarić, and, of course, Joel Embiid. No one really k...
