I Think Paul George Hates His Team
Paul George was great last night, scoring 32 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists in the Pacers’ Game 2 loss to the Cavs. After the game, he seemed very much like a man who is tired of toiling away on a middling team....
Stephen A. Smith: "This Damn Phil Jackson Is Still In New York City!"
For anyone masochistic enough to still care about the Knicks, this weekend felt a lot like rock bottom. President Phil Jackson spent Friday afternoon publicly alienating his star player Carmelo Anthony. He also stated that no Knicks player—including Kristaps Porzingis—was off the bargaining table, q...
Mark Jackson's Church Tried To Heal Steph Curry's Ankle With Oil

This Steph Curry Sequence Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
Steph Curry is at it again, right in time for Kevin Durant’s looming return and the Warriors’ forthcoming playoff run. In just over a minute, the Warriors scored 11 points, all of which were either scored or assisted by Curry. He nailed a pair of threes, assisted Klay Thompson for another three, the...
Stephen Piscotty Had An Extremely Painful Inning
Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty had a great day yesterday, signing a six-year extension with St. Louis the day after beating the Cubs on national television.

Lance Stephenson Made A Late Layup And Hurt The Raptors' Feelings
The Indiana Pacers were up by 15 with 10 seconds left in their game against the Toronto Raptors when the Pacers’ Joe Young grabbed a rebound and kicked it out to Lance Stephenson, who jogged down the court for an easy layup. Immediately, the announcers started finger-wagging and taking Stephenson t...
Why The Vote To Move The Raiders To Las Vegas Wasn't Unanimous
NFL owners like to project solidarity, even if it doesn’t exist. It’s better for their product and their PR if they present a united front in matters of league import, rather than a group of factious, occasionally squabbling mega-wealthy looking out for themselves and trying to out-earn each other i...
LaVar Ball Vs. Stephen A. Smith Made For Some Profoundly Dumb TV
I suppose the logical apotheosis of the media tour that LaVar Ball, patron saint of loud sports dads, has embarked upon over the past month is an appearance on ESPN’s preeminent shouting match, First Take. This morning, Ball joined the program to discuss his series of outlandish public proclamations...
Steph Curry's Got His Swagger Back
Whatever you make of the dumb beef going on between the Warriors and the Thunder over how the team has yet to pay tribute to Kevin Durant, it’s clear that the two teams don’t like one another. They spent their first three meetings of the season growling at each other and passive-aggressively pushing...
Four T'd Up As Warriors And Thunder "Brawl"

Steph Curry Spoke Too Soon
At the end of the third quarter of last night’s Celtics-Warriors game, Steph Curry did some very rude things to Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown. After shaking and faking Brown out of his airspace, Curry rose up for a buzzer-beating three that put the Warriors up 74-71. And then he got sassy, turning tow...
The Warriors Aren't Invincible
The last time that the Golden State Warriors lost back-to-back games in regulation was almost exactly two years ago, back in early April of 2015. That 2014-15 Warriors team got blown out by San Antonio on the road, then lost a close one in New Orleans. After that loss, they won an NBA championship a...
Markieff Morris's Wife Apparently Talks About His Nuts "All The Time"
After Steph Curry missed a go-ahead three-pointer in the final seconds of Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards, Markeiff Morris hit two big free throws to put the game out of reach, 112-108. ...

SB Nation Writer And Former NFL Player Denies Child-Abuse Allegations
Last week, the Tampa Bay Times ran a story about Kendrick Morris, who faces sentencing for two rapes he committed in 2007 and 2008, when he was 15 and 16 years old. During a sentencing hearing, a doctor who examined Morris testified that Morris felt remorse for his crimes and could be rehabilitated....
Steph Curry Calls Trump An Ass, Voices Opposition To Under Armour CEO's Pro-Trump Takes
Under Armour’s been in the news a lot lately, first for a huge one-day drop in the value of the company and yesterday for CEO Kevin Plank’s remarks that Donald Trump’s presidency would be a “real asset” for the country. Plank engaged in some jargon-heavy triage (subject: UNDER ARMOUR STATEMENT - PRO...
Steph Curry Is Steph Curry Again
It had been something of a down year for Steph Curry—at least a “down year” by the standards of a two-time reigning MVP. His shooting numbers weren’t quite there, and Kevin Durant had assumed the mantle as the Warriors’ biggest threat. Well, Curry hasn’t had to answer any questions about a slump sin...

Here Is A Delightful Stephen Jackson Story About Smoking Weed Before Games
Former NBA player and current good opinion-haver Stephen Jackson has not been shy about his support for laxer weed restrictions in the NBA.
