This is a silly thing to discuss, granted, but it is a long season and we need something to sustain us after the Warriors and Cavaliers met for the final time—until June, we hope and pray, at which time everything that’s been said by everyone on either time will be dredged up and injected into the m...

If there’s one piece of the Roman Empire that has managed to weave its way into popular culture, it’s the army.

Klay Thompson Ruins Meticulously Planned Pregame Ritual
Everyone knows that Steph Curry likes to have a little fun during pregame warmups, shooting balls from the tunnel and whatnot.
