The 2023 NBA MVP debate was obliterated when JJ Redick and Kendrick Perkins fought on First Take over the idea of racial bias skewing the voters’ decision-making. Now, every thought surrounding Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic begins with people dissecting some intangible, unmeasurable vibe instead of talking about what is actually occurring on the basketball […]
All my life, I have been waterboarded with Los Angeles Lakers propaganda. I’m constantly told Kobe Bryant is one of the top 5 greatest basketball players ever despite never being the best basketball player in the NBA when he played. As I write this, the Lakers are currently 9th in the West thanks in large […]
ESPN’s First Take is a show that exists exclusively to generate clicks online and to create narratives that the network can then further discuss for the next 24 hours until the next episode of First Take. Participants on the show are encouraged to argue the most mundane bullshit with zero nuance. The more outlandish you […]
The NBA Power Rankings are BACK (Because I remembered to do them this week). We have about 20 games left in the season which is so weird since the All-Star game just happened. Remember when the All-Star game used to be like, in the middle of the season? Anyway, here are this week’s NBA […]
The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend was blah all around so I don’t want to spend too much time even talking about it. But I can’t act like it didn’t happen so here’s some content almost exclusively for SEO purposes. Usually, I try to make these winners and losers lists a little longer but again, I’m […]
2023 All-Star Weekend is upon us. The best basketball players on planet Earth face off in an All-Star game. The best shooters compete in a 3-point contest. And 4 random guys no one’s heard of take turns performing dunks we’ve already seen before in front of a bored crowd of their peers and their peers’s […]
The 2023 NBA trade deadline was one of the most exciting weeks in the league’s history with a few of the greatest players ever being shipped around the country. Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kevin Knox. All these future Hall-of-Famers are being traded right before our eyes. Wow. Here are the winners of the […]
I hate to write back-to-back pieces about the Los Angeles Lakers but as I was going through the team’s depth chart to see where D’Angelo Russell fits in, I noticed they don’t need to wait for Bronny to be drafted for a father and son to play together. Malik Beasley and Scottie Pippen Jr will […]
On June 22nd, 2017, the Los Angeles Lakers traded D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets because Russell tried to ‘prank’ his teammate Nick Young by recording him bragging about cheating on Iggy Azalea but the video was leaked and the prank instantly ruined people’s lives. 6 years later and D’Angelo Russell will be back in […]
The New York Knicks needed to make a move at the trade deadline. There were too many talented players sitting on the bench begging for playing time to ignore. Well, the Knicks have now added a new player who will be battling for minutes in coach Thibs’s tight rotation. The Trail Blazers are trading Josh […]
There is a lot going on in the NBA right now. LeBron James just scored the most points in the history of basketball. Kyrie Irving was traded to Texas to ruin Luka Doncic’s life. Oh, and Cam Thomas is quietly the best player in the league. 40+ points in three consecutive games 🔥@24_camthomas, ladies and […]
Stephen A. Smith and Jay Williams spent the last few years arguing on First Take about the Brooklyn Nets. Stephen A, Smith has established himself as the guy who tells young black men to pull up their pants and turn down their loud hippity-hop music and Jay Williams has been trying to rebrand into a […]
Last week, Kyrie Irving demanded a trade from the Brooklyn Nets once they offered him a max contract extension that had irregular stipulations. The Nets wasted absolutely no time accommodating his demands and immediately sent him to Texas. Official: Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, 2029 first-round pick and two second-round […]
Ja Morant is the most electric player in the NBA. He has transformed the Memphis Grizzlies into real threats in the West and changed their identity into shit-talkers trying to fight Shannon Sharpe sitting courtside because they want all the smoke or whatever. They were about to jump an 8-time NFL All-Star. Last week, the […]
This week, Kyrie Irving officially demanded a trade from the Brooklyn Nets two weeks before the trade deadline. He refused to sign the contract extension he was offered and told Brooklyn he was leaving in free agency this summer if he was dealt swiftly. Brooklyn doesn’t have to make a move—especially now that Kyrie told […]
Dillon Brooks is one of the most annoying players in the NBA. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are such a fun team to watch but it’s impossible not to shake your head at Brooks who will do some unbelievably dumb shit at least once a game. On Thursday night, Dillon Brooks and Donovan Mitchell […]
