Craig Sager Remains The Best
Yesterday Craig Sager underwent a rare third bone marrow transplant with stem cells, in yet another attempt to treat the aggressive form of leukemia that has afflicted him since 2014.

Marv Albert Screwed Up A Whole Lot Of Calls In The Western Conference Finals
The worst performance of the Western Conference Finals wasn’t Russell Westbrook’s four turnovers in the final two minutes of Game 6, Shaun Livingston’s disappearing act, or the referees letting Draymond Green get away with murder. No, the worst performance of the Western Conference Finals belonged t...
NCAA Escapes Upsetting Crucial Auntie Fan Base By Keeping Luther Vandross-Sung Theme Song

CNN Makes Charles Barkley Talk Politics To Promote Debate; Chuck Trashes "Awful" CNN
CNN is the home of next week’s Republican debate, and tonight’s ever-encroaching instance of corporate synergy found Turner’s Charles Barkley being forced, hostage-proof-of-life style, to talk politics. And talk he did, slamming Donald Trump and trashing CNN—saying the network has “done an awful job...
Gregg Popovich Requests Craig Sager Ask Him “Inane Questions” In The Sweetest Way Possible
Gregg Popovich is notorious for hating just about all interviews, but especially the league-mandated ones that take place during nationally televised games.

Charles Barkley Doesn't Give A Shit About Propriety On Live TV
Charles Barkley is always going to say whatever he wants to say, live TV and censors be damned.

Dennis Scott's Young Son Socked Shaq In The Face
I somehow missed this Thursday night, but it's too funny to let pass by. That's Dennis Scott's son, Dennis III, socking Shaq in the face on the set of Inside the NBA.

Shaq Attempts The Cookie Face Challenge
You may know it as the cookie face challenge, the face the cookie challenge, the oreo challenge, or some other name. Whatever you call it, Shaq attempted it on the set of Inside the NBA tonight. It's pretty entertaining watching Shaq weirdly scrunch his face, but here are five food-related chall...
The Full Cleveland Cavaliers Intro & Starting Lineups, With Proper Audio
TNT (or, perhaps, Quicken Loans Arena) had a major audio fuckup tonight that left the Knicks' radio feed bleeding all over the Cavs' carefully-crafted fancy intro. So here's that fancy intro and starting lineups with proper audio....
It's Opening Night, & Gregg Popovich Is Already Fed Up With Interviews
It's no secret that Gregg Popovich is no fan of the in-game interview, but we figured he'd make it through at least one of them this season without the whole thing breaking down into a postmodern farce. We were wrong....
ESPN And TNT Think NBA Broadcasts Are Worth A Lot More Than The NFL's
Adam Silver proudly announced the NBA's new TV deal with ESPN and TNT this morning, one that nearly triples how much its cable partners will pay the league to broadcast its regular season and playoff games.
