Every year around the All-Star break when the NFL season is coming to an end and all our eyes are on the NBA, we are reminded of the massive separation in quality between TNT’s basketball coverage and ESPN’s. ESPN NBA Countdown is a terrible pre-game show and an even worse halftime show. Mike Greenberg, Stephen […]

The 2021-22 NBA All Star voting is in and there are a few interesting results no one saw coming.

Last season, the Hawks embarrassed the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.

Being a sports fan is the weirdest shit on Earth. I have spent my entire life defending the Knicks despite how terrible they’ve always been solely due to me being born in New York.

Kyrie Irving has played a grand total of zero (0) NBA games this season.

RJ Barrett is the most important player on the New York Knicks. When he’s playing aggressively and hitting open 3’s, the Knicks are going to win that basketball game. But when Barrett is afraid to attack the basket and settles for awkward perimeter shots, the Knicks will not be winning that game. For anyone who […]
