Steve Kerr's Good NBA Draft Idea: Let Undrafted Players Return To Their Teams
Current NCAA regulations forbid any player who declares for the NBA draft and signs with an agent to return to his college team, even if he goes undrafted.

Extremely Pissed Russell Westbrook, On Zaza Pachulia: "He Tried To Hurt Me"
The Warriors pounded the bejeezus out of the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night, to the tune of 112-80. 80 points is the fewest scored in a game this season by the Thunder, and 32 points is their biggest margin of defeat.

Drexel Sets Division I Record With Incredible 34-Point Comeback Win
Drexel fell behind 5-0 at the start of tonight’s game against Delaware, and for quite a while, it didn’t look like they’d be able to crawl out of that hole. With a few minutes remaining in the first half, they were down by 34, and by the break, they’d only managed to cut that to 27 points. But in th...
Steve Kerr Says Teens Demanding Gun Control Are "Heroic"
Reporters have quickly learned that it’s worth asking Warriors head coach Steve Kerr about politics, because he’s usually got something to say, and when he does it’s almost always worth hearing. Last week Kerr was blunt in blaming the government for inactivity on gun control that inevitably leads to...
Report: With No White House Invite, Warriors Will Use D.C. Trip To Spend Day With Local Kids Instead

At Least Draymond Green Is An Honorable Bettor

Steve Kerr: "It Doesn't Seem To Matter To Our Government That Children Are Being Shot To Death"
Steve Kerr—never one to shy away from expressing his takes on politics and gun control in particular—was asked about the horrifying school shooting in Broward County, Florida before tonight’s game against the Blazers. A subdued Kerr called for Americans who are also fed the hell up with the NRA’s in...
Dwight Howard Seemingly Forgets That You're Allowed To Jump In Basketball
Dwight Howard, who is listed at 6-foot-11 with a seven-foot wingspan, decided to use absolutely none of his god-given physical gifts as he tried to score on his old team tonight. Maybe he thought it would be unfair to the shorter Evan Fournier; maybe, in a burst of whimsy, he wanted to pretend to be...
Steve Kerr Let His Players Coach The Game And It Worked
Okay, yes, maybe he gets points deducted for pulling this move during a game against the pitiful Suns, but Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did something genuinely cool and unexpected last night: he let his players run every timeout huddle. The Warriors won 129-83....

Paul George Is Everything The Thunder Need Him To Be
Last night, the Thunder traveled to Oakland and were the best version of themselves, a team that overwhelms and antagonizes the opponent while producing bushels of cool-ass highlights. If you’re into Warriors schadenfreude then you probably relished Draymond Green getting ejected for yelling a whol...
Russell Westbrook Magically Fouled By Floor, Own Feet
At the end of the third quarter of tonight’s Thunder-Warriors game, Russell Westbrook benefitted from a bizarrely bad foul call that was triggered by nothing but tripping over his own two feet, no meaningful contact from Golden State necessary:...
