The Denver Nuggets are trading Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, sources tell @samamick.bsky.social. More details: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv… [image or embed] — The Athletic (@theathletic.bsky.social) June 30, 2025 at 7:25 PM The Denver Nuggets are sending Michael Porter Jr.—a critical part of their 2023 NBA Championship […]
The New York Knicks front office has full clarity of their championship window. They understand little bitty Jalen Brunson won’t be a Top 5 playoff performer forever. I trust they will make the correct moves this offseason to keep the Knicks in the title picture. But after watching the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers […]
Malik Beasley is fucked. Last season, Malik Beasley averaged 16.3 and became only the 4th player in NBA history to hit over 300 3-pointers in a single season. He was instrumental in helping the Detroit Pistons make the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Pre-Covd shit. The BeforeTimes. He and the Pistons were close […]
This week was the 2025 NBA Draft. I love the draft. Kids in silly suits, their moms/girlfriends getting ready to click deliver on all those items they’ve been adding to their Amazon carts on Uber rides to practices. The occasional open weeping. The draft also serves as clues, puzzle pieces to help form all 30 […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 2024-25 NBA Champions. Congrats to them. (You can read that last sentence sarcastically or sincerely depending on your own personal mood. I could not tell a grand jury which way I meant it.) This winners and losers list will describe which players, coaches, GMs or owners are winners and […]
Washington DC kind of sucks right now. A South African drug addict removed 60,000 federal jobs, so the unemployment rate is sky high over there. And the new people who work there are all MAGA sociopaths living in an alternate reality than the rest of us where they perceive America under constant threat of anyone […]
Jeanie Buss just hit a lick. Mark Walter purchased the Los Angeles Lakers for $10 billion—the largest U.S. professional sports team sale. Ever. Apparently Jeannie Buss will stay as the team governor but Mark Cuban said he’d still help make decisions with the Dallas Mavericks, only to be shocked when Luka Doncic was traded. Jeanie […]
Orlando paid a hefty price to acquire Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane 👀 (Picks via @joshrobbins.bsky.social) [image or embed] — The Athletic (@theathletic.bsky.social) June 15, 2025 at 11:32 AM Desmond Bane is leaving Memphis and the ear drum-shattering sounds of Ja Morant’s gunshots—and heading to Orlando—and the ear drum-shattering sounds of Franz Wagner bricking jumpers off […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder are one game away from winning an NBA Championship after their 120-109 Game 5 victory over the Indiana Pacers to go up 3-2 in the series. Thursday night could be the end of the 2024-25 NBA season with the Pacers losing in front of their home fans—in front of their hoes. […]
As a Knicks fan, I’d hate to see a 37-year-old with a busted achilles and a social media addiction join my beloved team. The man is almost guaranteed to miss a chunk of the season with some injury and, even in Golden State, he’s brought strange vibes to every ball club. I’m not sure how […]
The Boston Red Sox haven’t finished a season above .500 since 2021. 4 years of mediocrity. I thought this Boston winning every championhip bullshit was over. They shot Big Papi. The Red Sox dark magic had been vanquished. Their team owner, John Henry, started winning championships and immediately used the additional revenue to purchase everything. […]
Tires on Netflix is one of my favorite new shows. Comedian Shane Gillis plays an immature, underachieving car mechanic This scene pretty sums up Gillis’s character. Tires Season 2, a Netflix comedy series starring Shane Gillis, premieres June 5. pic.twitter.com/AWIttveW2f — Netflix Is A Joke (@NetflixIsAJoke) April 1, 2025 And in 2025, this is everyone […]
Dear Riley Gaines, I pray this reaches your eyes—although I understand how busy you must be changing the world. See, you are an inspiration to folks like me. Whenever I see you trending—standing up against trans women in sports—a non-issue to most people because statistically, there are sooooo few trans women attempting to participate […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates stink. They’re only mentioned as background characters in the life of Paul Skenes—the best pitcher in baseball. Skenes is only 4-6 in his 14 starts, thanks to the bad team around him. Pittsburgh is 29th in runs—ahead of only the Colorado Rockies—a team that, at this point, I have to believe is […]
In 2012, Wade Miley was The Prince Who Was Promised for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In a textbook definied “average” season, finishing 81-81, 25-year-old Wade Miley looked like the type of player a front office just pencils into their rotation for the next decade. Here’s what Miley did back in ’12: 16 wins 11 losses 194.2 […]
The New York Football Giants didn’t have the greatest season ever last year. They won 3 games. Out of 17. That’s a very small number of wins. But Giants owner and free Pepsi merchant, John Mara, allowed the front office as well as the coaches, one more year to prove their worth—including defensive coordinator, Shane […]
