Let's Check Out Klay Thompson's Sweet, Sweet Dance Moves
Klay Thompson has enjoyed more on his trip to China than just rim-checking himself to hell. He also enjoyed at least one night of being extremely hype at a club of some sort, showing off some pretty creative moves and seemingly not caring at all about what anyone else might think: ...

Gronk And Dustin Pedroia Work Very, Very Blue At The David Ortiz Roast
Dustin Pedroia, Anthony Mackie, Bill Burr, and improvisational quarter keg Rob Gronkowski showed up at a roast for David Ortiz yesterday. Gronk’s material was clearly prewritten; Pedroia’s was supposedly not. One was clearly funnier than the other....
The Orioles Have A Shot At Tying A Strange Record Tonight

Bill Belichick Finds Another Way To Stick It To The Jets
There’s a straight line to be drawn from the Patriots’ signing today of David Harris, a respected veteran inside linebacker who had been unceremoniously dumped two weeks ago as part of the Jets’ roster purge. That line takes you back. It runs you through tampering charges, Darrelle Revis’s Super Bow...

The Only Possible Explanation For This Manny Machado Throw Is Metahumans
Machado is moving the other way when he uncorks this throw, and he is deep in foul territory, and he throws the ball on a line, and it’s a perfect strike:...
Civility Is Overrated
Earlier this week there was a phony report about the Golden State Warriors deciding not to go to the White House after winning their second title in three years. That prompted Washington Post columnist Sally Jenkins to write this column calling for all of the Warriors to go and shake Donald Trump’s ...
LeBron James Is Glad To Be In Draymond Green's Head
Draymond Green and LeBron James had a bit of a back-and-forth yesterday, and the good-natured ribbing ended with Green taking a shot at James during his speech at the Warriors’ victory parade, much to James’s delight....

Draymond Green Finally Gets T-Shirt Revenge On LeBron, Gets Owned Anyway [Update]
The last time the Warriors won a title (the year before they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals), Draymond Green got tipsy at the team’s victory parade in Oakland. He mocked the Cleveland Cavaliers by rapping “Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.”...
Columnist: What This Nation Needs Is For More Sports Teams To Be Nice To Donald Trump<em></em>
Maybe you have heard that some or all of the Golden State Warriors may decline an invitation to celebrate their NBA championship at Donald Trump’s White House, if Donald Trump chooses to invite them, which he has not yet. Maybe you have also heard that yesterday morning, an angry man with Bernie San...
Steph Curry Doesn't Seem Like He Wants To Go To The White House
Earlier this week, irresponsible and unfounded reporting claimed the Golden State Warriors will not be visiting the White House following their NBA Finals victory. That story was false; there’s still good reason to think that the team, or at least a few key members, might skip out on the tradition....

About That Warriors White House Visit
Barely hours after the Golden State Warriors won their second title in three season, a report claimed the team had already decided to skip the White House ceremony usually available to championship teams. It seemed plausible, but the claim had little proof supporting it....
JaVale McGee Is Now A Guy With A Championship Ring
Before the Golden State Warriors signed him, JaVale McGee was a big joke. The 7-foot center had spent his career collecting alley-oops, losing track of his defensive assignments, and committing all manner of horrifying blunders. McGee played well enough for the Nuggets in one playoff series to earn ...
Kevin Durant Defeated By Beer
Kevin Durant is now a world champion and a Finals MVP. He is also someone who does not appear to understand the proper way to crack some cold ones and get rowdy with the boys....
Kevin Durant Did What He Came To Do
A basketball team with the two best shooters in the world, the best pure scorer in the world, and the most versatile and fearsome defender in the world just won the NBA Finals. They did it while absorbing some of LeBron James’s best punches, and as awe-inspiring as a 16-1 romp through the playoffs m...
Well, This All Sucks
The entire point of sports, and the main reason it’s any fun, is to see what happens. From the moment last summer when the Golden State Warriors signed Kevin Durant to add to a team that already had three of the, let’s say, 20 best basketball players in the world, we knew what was going to happen. ...
Hat Thief!
A Warriors fan stole Steph Curry’s hat as he headed to the locker room, once again victorious as NBA champion. He wasn’t very happy about it!...
