Chandler Parsons Just Dunked On JaVale McGee
Sure, it's a tip-slam, but if you're 7'0" JaVale McGee then the likes of Chandler Parsons should not be dunking on you—under any circumstances.

Steve Kerr Unloads On NBA Owners, Calls Dan Gilbert A Baby
After three seasons as the personnel guy in Phoenix, Steve Kerr returned to TV because he wasn't very good at GMing. But he has opinions about the league blocking a Chris Paul-to-Lakers deal.

Aborted Chris Paul Trade Cannot Be Appealed, Because It Was Technically The Hornets Who Backed Out
Despite Dell Demps nominally having full authority to make player moves, it was pressure from other owners (and therefore the owners of the Hornets) that killed the Chris Paul deal last night.

Buffalo Schoolteachers Charged With Humping In The Bathroom At This Weekend's Bills Game
Making sex in the bathroom is never the brightest nor most hygienic idea, to say nothing of the typical stall conditions at an NFL stadium used by 70,000 people.
