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 […]
On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks lost 123-129 in overtime to the Los Angeles Lakers. With 6:51 left in the 4th quarter, Tom Thibodeau benched RJ Barrett. He would never touch the court again. This has become a common theme for the Knicks as of late. RJ Barrett sits most of the 4th quarter […]
I wasn’t on Earth to see Michael Jordan’s first few years in Chicago. When LeBron was drafted to Cleveland, I was a little hater like all of his teammates. But I am ready to embrace Anthony Edwards as the new Prince Who Was Promised. Anthony Edwards truly has the potential to become the face of […]
On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to Madison Square Garden and beat the New York Knicks 129-123 in overtime. Most sites would take this opportunity to write about LeBron James recording his first triple-double of the season or LeBron James passing Steve Nash for 4th in all-time career assists. But not I. Let’s […]
One of my favorite aspects of the NBA is the league, and the players’, willingness to stand up for social causes. The Los Angeles Clippers considered forfeiting a playoff game just because they refused to play for then-owner and racist Oogie-Boogie, Donald Sterling. The NBA is on the forefront of social change. And it’s very […]
The New York Knicks are currently 26-23 and sitting at the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. There is a clear separation between the top teams like Milwaukee, Boston and Brooklyn, and the middling teams like New York, Miami and Indiana. If the Knicks want to establish themselves as a real threat, they need to […]
Former Spur and current lunatic on the Atlanta Hawks, Dejounte Murray, went on Stephen Jackson’s podcast or TV show or whatever he’s doing on Showtime and told the story about his final days in San Antonio with the lovely Tony Parker. “That was the year I took the job from Tony [Parker]…I know he didn’t […]
Welcome back to Deadseriousness NBA Power Rankings—a weekly list of the best things happening in the NBA that I often forget to write about so it comes out like, every 12 days instead of weekly. 9. Boston Celtics I don’t want to write about the Boston Celtics but they have been the best team […]
