K.J. McDaniels's Mom Is The Best Sports Mom
The 76ers beat the Magic in Orlando last night, a fact that was of very little concern to Sixers shooting guard K.J. McDaniels's mom, who was in attendance and continued to demonstrate that she couldn't give less of a shit about the Sixers, and just wants to see her son ball....

NBA Shit List: The Philadelphia 76ers, Who Are Capitalism's Diarrhea

The Time Manute Bol Hit Six Three-Pointers In A Half
Reader Max sent along this video because he'd never seen it before, never even heard of one of the weirdest NBA happenings of all time, and he thought more people should see it.
