The one thing I’ll disagree with is the notion that he just “took it on the chin” while they sucked. He demanded the Lakers trade Shaq, who then went on to win another title almost immediately. And when the Lakers started struggling, he demanded they trade him too.

Someone pointed this out to me last night: In his 20 year career, Kobe Bryant only ever shot better than 50% on two point shots once. For some perspective, Jordan did it nine times (and would have done it more were it not for the early retirements), and LeBron has done it 11 times in a row and counting (and cracked…

This is the second mass shooting in the country TODAY.

This combination of headline and tweet is the first thing that’s made me laugh since the news of the shooting broke.

I was just having this discussion with someone, and I can’t decide: Which album is her best, Mama’s Gun or Baduizm?

Thank you. Chris Brown is a fucking monster, but Jon Stewart had multiple guests on who beat women, and I feel comfortable betting the staff was okay with them.

Kobe took 17 three pointers and only scored 20 points. Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate that.

To be fair, the Sixers will probably get a win before Comedy Central picks up another season of his awful television show. I like Hannibal a lot, but good God, that show was so bad it was painful.

Have you ever heard her cover of Pirate Jenny? My god.

First, this is amazing. Second, let’s all use this as an opportunity to post beautiful Nina Simone songs. Here’s “Little Girl Blue”:

You know what really stunned me? Seeing some of my white friends lose their parents, grandparents, or other family members, and inheriting money. I know a girl (she’s white) who inherited $10,000 from a great uncle who she openly hated. Meanwhile, I lost a third of my savings paying for my mom’s funeral.

At this point, can we be completely certain that Okafor, on a subconscious level, isn’t suicidal, or otherwise trying to cause some sort of self harm? Is driving 108 on a bridge a dumb thing that a teenager does, or is it a very serious cry for help?

“But to pretend that’s the main driver overlooks that the people most upset about Newton’s dancing (the Titans defenders) were mostly black”

I’d put it second, behind only the original (the original is really, really damn good)

It’s interesting, isn’t it? LeBron is easily the most likable of those three by any fair measure, and yet he gets the most hate. He’s probably the best player since Jordan (you can make an argument for Shaq or Duncan, but I think he’s clearly better than Kobe in every way), he’s the best superstar teammate since Magic…

One of the interesting things about LeBron’s career arc is that he came into the league idolizing Jordan, but at some point realized that Jordan is a complete asshole, and seems to have slowly distanced himself from him.

I don’t know what’s more depressing: that you think this comment makes sense, or that you have probably tweeted #AllLivesMatter at some point in the last few months.

The sad thing is, the reason Flores can say this and get much less scrutiny than someone like Bomani Jones... is because Flores isn’t black either.
