Journalism used to be unbiased investigations into the truth but NBA journalism is all about cozying up to execs or players in order to be the first ones to tell us about a random G-Leaguer getting a 10-day contract or intentionally devaluing a player with ‘rumors’ of personal issues or whatever nonsense is needed to […]
For my entire life as a New York Knicks fan, this team has been trash. I was too young to have any real memories of Michael Jordan dog walking John Starks and them. My first real memory as an active, cognisant fan was the 2004-05 season when they traded for Jamal Crawford and put him […]
The NBA is a league driven by storylines and narratives so let’s talk about the Western Conference storylines we’ll be waterboarded with when the 2023-24 season starts. Here are the 18 biggest Western Conference Storylines heading into the year: 1. LeBron Year 21 LeBron James was drafted in 2003. Tracy McGrady led the league […]
Charlotte Hornets big man, Kai Jones, has spent his offseason being a straight-up weirdo online posting cringy videos and declaring himself as one of the best basketball players ever. After a strange, erratic summer of behaving like a homeless man shucking and jiving for pennies, the Hornets announced he would be away from the team […]
I don’t love doing Winners and Losers articles because so many sports sites vomit them out but then I remembered my shit’s better so here it is. Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 […]
Kevin Porter Jr. has been a guard in the NBA for 4 years. Last season he averaged a career-high 19 points a game and helped lead the Houston Rockets to an incredible 22-60 record last year. He’s followed James Harden’s career trajectory of playing at USC, coming off the bench in his first season, being […]
Team USA lost 111-113 in the FIBA World Cup semifinals to Germany. The score looks close but they were down double digits most of the game thanks to Franz Wagner COOKING dudes. Dennis Schroder was stepping into 3’s like Kevin Durant. There was one play where Daniel Theis caught the ball at the 3-point line, […]
On Thursday’s episode of Undisputed, Skip Bayless unveiled another one of his new co-hosts: Rachel Nichols—a woman who was so disliked at ESPN that her own private conversations from her private hotel room were accidentally recorded and immediately leaked to the press because the tech crew working behind the scenes at her old show did […]
Since purchasing a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks back in 2000, Mark Cuban has been the most famous team owner (outside of Michael Jordan) and he’s earned that level of fame with his genius team building decisions like today, when Cuban revealed he will trade players away if they smoke too much weed. “I’ve […]
This week, Deandre Ayton was seen playing with a porn star on Instagram adding to a growing list of former number one picks who cannot stop saying or doing weird stuff off the court. That spot is almost cursed these days. A player gets drafted no. 1 overall and there’s a 90% chance he’s going […]
James Harden has made it quite clear he doesn’t want to play for the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers GM, Daryl Morey, promised him a max contract extension that never came. Then he made Harden opt-in to the final year of his contract with another promise of finding him a suitable trade which he also reneged […]
Stephen A. Smith is our last great, fearless journalist standing up against professional athletes pushing false narratives and lying to fans. Currently, he’s in a war against Lonzo Ball over the reporting of his knee injury. Lonzo Ball hasn’t played a basketball game since January 14th, 2022. His knee basically exploded and he’s been in […]
James Harden opted into the final year of his contract under the impression the Sixers would find a trade for him but last week, 76ers GM Daryl Morey came out and said he has no plans on trading him away so naturally, Harden stood in front of a group of Chinese children and cut a […]
Enes Kanter played his final NBA game on February 8th, 2022. He scored 7 points. He was then traded to the Houston Rockets and instantly cut from the roster. No other team would sign him. Earlier in the season, he changed his name to Enes Freedom when he received American citizenship. All of his tweets […]

21-year-old Jalen Green is preparing to make a huge leap in his third NBA season with a Houston Rockets squad that retooled this offseason with a brand new head coach and hilariously absurd contracts to Fred Vanvleet and Dillon Brooks. However, Jalen Green’s offseason took an interesting turn when a sex tape leaked. A sex […]
