Watch Brian Windhorst, a.k.a. the ‘Lebron Whisperer,’ Fall Asleep on Live TV

You don’t get the nickname “The LeBron Whisperer” by taking days or nights off. Just ask Brian Windhorst, whose fascination with a high school baller from Akron, Ohio led to him being one of ESPN’s most prized NBA reporters. Naturally, his phone is always buzzing, there’s always a “source” getting him information and, of course, LeBron […]

The Utah Jazz (??) Handed Kobe Bryant the Worst Loss of His Career

Russell Westbrook Ties Michael Jordan’s Calendar Month Triple-Double Record

For all the talk about Warriors point guard Stephen Curry not being human, it’s worth noting that Russell Westbrook is also so ridiculous, his humanity gets called into question.

Kyle Lowry Doesn’t Care About Your Interview Questions While Villanova Is On

It Looks Like PARTYNEXTDOOR and Kehlani Are Back Together

The drama continues. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Kehlani‘s on-again, off-again love affair seemed to come to a firm halt last year, when PND released his “Kehlani’s Freestyle,” when he all but conceded their demise and admitted his missteps, and Kehlani began a very publicized new relationship with pro baller Kyrie Irving. Not so fast. Though it hasn’t […]

DeMarcus Cousins Responds to George Karl’s Backhanded Criticism of Seth Curry

Is isn’t just the handling of Demarcus Cousins why there always seems to be a story of George Karl being at odds with his players.
