It’s not easy out there for a Lester. It’s not a name that screams toughness. It’s the name you see stiched onto your mechanic who looks like he was born under the hood of a Ford truck and bathes in a tub of motor oil. Or it’s the name of your strange, racist country uncle […]
In 2021, the Chicago Bears drafted Justin Fields with the no. 11 overall pick. 3 seasons later, the Bears find themselves with the first pick and the opportunity to draft a quarterback who can lead them to a better record than Fields’s 10-28 record as a starter. Caleb Williams could be the next great Hall […]
Last offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers fired Doc Rivers, not for losing to a better team in the Boston Celtics but for blowing a 3-2 lead and the team looking like they could not wait to go home in Game 7. Rivers was then hired at ESPN and it felt like the Rivers head coach nonsense […]
The 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend was very cool for those who live in Indianapolis and haven’t had an important sports event in their city since the 2012 WNBA Finals when Tamika Catchings led the Indiana Fever over the STACKED Minnesota Lynx. Shout out Lindsay Whalen. But with every major event, there are winners and there […]
2024 NBA All-Star Saturday was lit and by lit I mean the court was literally lit up with LED lights which worked to trick my lizard brain into paying attention to the big shiny lights instead of the trillions of more fun activities I could’ve been doing. But I watched the whole event and I […]
At the All-Star break, the Boston Celtics are 43-12 with the best record in the NBA. They’ve been the best team all season long and led by their All-Star forward, Jayson Tatum who is averaging 27.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 4.8 assists with a 55% eFG% and playing some of the best defense in the […]
On December 30th, 2023, the New York Knicks traded their two former first-round draft picks, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, for OG Anunoby. They proceeded to win 16 of 18 games with Anunoby instantly becoming a prison sentence for what opposing player he was tasked with defending. They surged to the top of the Eastern […]
When people show you who they are, believe them. I knew Grant Williams was a loser in the 2022 NBA Finals when he decided to spend all of his energy attempting to ‘get in Draymond Green’s head’ while the Warriors were, ya know, focused on actually winning the NBA championship. Draymond Green vs Grant Williams […]
The trade deadline is my favorite part of the year and the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline did not disappoint. It probably helps that my favorite team had the best day but we’ll get into that later. And with every big event, there are winners and there are certainly losers. Let’s start with the winners… 2024 […]
Growing up, it felt like most athletes were foolish Neanderthals. They’d hit homers or catch touchdowns and then say the most confusingly stupid nonsense whenever a microphone was put in front of them. I’m talking Rafael Palmeiro going in front of Congress and angrily saying he’s never done steroids like, a week before he failed […]
The 2024 NBA Trade Deadline might be a little disappointing with no real stars changing teams but I think there are more than a few role players that could change cities and alter a team’s championship potential. I’m also just obsessed with trades like, imagine opening up Twitter and finding out your job is sending […]
It feels silly to speculate about a team trading away LeBron James but there was a tweet this week that made a LeBron trade seem like a real possibility. Hearing from @nba peeps @KingJames is the top of the @Lakers list to trade the 39 year old. Pelinka is looking for the right team to […]
NBA players I want to talk about this week is a new weekly column where we go through some guys in the league who I’m strangely obsessed over at this current moment. 1. Jalen Brunson I just want to talk about this one play from New York’s victory over the Miami Heat: JALEN BRUNSON […]
Before the season started, I wrote about the NBA’s new rule requiring players to be in a minimum of 65 games to be eligible for end-of-the-season awards and how unbelievably short-sided and silly it was. My original point was this rule incentivizes organizations to do shady shit and manipulate playing time to keep their guys […]
I constantly try to make Deadseriousness stand out from the crowd. Zag when they zig. Or vice versa. Whatever. I would’ve loved nothing more than to see the Milwaukee Bucks hire Doc Rivers as their new head and coach and write an interesting article on how Doc is a smart hire and defensive coverages and […]
As a Knicks fan, I am fully aware of my favorite team’s reputation. Since the 2000s, the Knicks have been run by a neanderthal who simply doesn’t understand the sport of basketball. But when he handed the keys to Phil Jackson in 2014, James Dolan essentially wiped his hands clean of all meddling and intervening […]
