Sam’s scheme didn’t work. He and everybody else in Houston was hoping to get a few Bucks for this.

“Asshole”

Reached for comment, Kevin Love said, “I can’t really defend his firing. Or the job he did as coach. ...Actually, I can’t defend anything. Please don’t ask me to.”

Sometimes people are assholes, sometimes they have a disease.

What a teaching moment! That kid will ALWAYS remember that night he didn’t get paid for being in a shoe commercial.

Its all fun and games till the Nuggets mascot hangs himself from the rafters to preserve his brain for CTE research.

I was like, ‘Whoa, buddy, I’m your teammate! Let’s get it together and let’s go out there and kill people.

This story is really gross and awful, obviously, which makes it hard to take a public position that isn’t “fuck this guy.” His politics are abhorrent, too.

No Hold Barred is awesome for one very simple reason. Joan Severance

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

James Harden’s MVP press conference would have been more like a roast. Harden taking the mic, starting with a few pointless jabsteps at the crowd, getting a rimshot, and everyone crying foul.
