Bradley Beal’s path to winning with Washington is unclear at best, but he wants to stay
Bradley Beal is obviously to be commended for his patience, his loyalty, his character, and even his stubbornness. His stubbornness — in a noble way — is how we’ve arrived here, to begin with. But it’s also keeping him from winning in the immediate future. ...

LaMelo Ball makes critics look silly with runaway Rookie of the Year bid
The fear was that LaMelo Ball’s once loud and now apparently mute father, LaVar, would be overbearing. That his seemingly reckless style of play in high school and overseas would make him an awful NBA teammate. That he won’t be able to get his jump shot corrected to produce in the NBA. That he has a...

Why was Vegas’ Tomáš Nosek (or Kevin Durant or Justin Turner) playing while waiting on COVID test result?
When we look back on this point in time years down the road, and really know the full effects of charging ahead with sports through a pandemic, there’s a chance we’ll wonder how we could have been so reckless. There’s also a chance nothing may come of it. We don’t know. But using the fact that we do...

Dallas Stars pull the ultimate dog-whistle #PleaseLikeMySport, fragile white people
It didn’t take tarot cards and an 800-number to figure out where the Mavericks/anthem debate was going to go. And never let it be said that the NHL and hockey in general would miss a chance to try and show just how traditional and loyal they are, while actually showing exactly what they really are. ...
The Makur Maker experiment at Howard failed, but, that’s no reason to start ignoring HBCU sports again

Venus Williams is still there
The Australian Open is candy for the insomnia and drunk crowd, both of which I happen to be a member. I guess it has the same charm as New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom.

SEE IT: Donovan Mitchell breaks defender’s legs without even really trying
Donovan Mitchell doesn’t care about your defense. Donovan Mitchell doesn’t care about an open Rudy Goebert. Donovan Mitchell doesn’t care about Shaq. Donovan Mitchell is just going to Donovan Mitchell — and for Utah Jazz fans, that’s a very good thing. Mitchell called game with a deadly series of mo...

O, say, can you see Mark Cuban's point? No one even noticed lack of national anthem, so let it go
Somehow it escaped most everyone’s attention for 13 home games that the Dallas Mavericks weren’t playing the national anthem before any of them, which pretty much tells you how important the tradition actually was in the first place. The Mavs hadn’t been allowing fans into the arena until Monday’s g...

Penguins’ pitiful pairing of Hextall & Burke shows NHL old useless boys network is alive as ever
Hiring practices in the major sports leagues have been under the microscope of late. Especially in the NFL, where overqualified Black candidates can’t seem to get jobs ahead of white ones that seemingly come from nowhere, or are retreads, or if you’re the Lions you find a guy who had spent the previ...
