Back in the ’90s, former NBA star Larry Johnson transformed himself into an elderly, muumuu-wearing, slam-dunking alter ego named “Grandmama” on behalf of Converse. Johnson’s commercials were quite popular, and the 6-foot-7-inch All-Star even made a guest appearance on Family Matters. But although Johnson’s character…
Those who follow the NBA know that you’d be wise to take any Adrian Wojnarowski reportage on anything LeBron-related with a grain of salt. For reasons that remain unclear, Wojnarowski doesn’t miss opportunities to craft stories about LeBron James in ways that are less than flattering.
It didn’t take much convincing for me to agree with my dad’s plan—that it was in my best interest to leave Sterrett Classical Academy in the city and transfer to St. Bartholomew (a private Catholic school in the suburbs with a stellar academic and athletic reputation) and repeat the sixth grade when making the switch.
The NBA—the best professional sports league in the history of history—is back Tuesday night, with 30 teams all vying to be the one that wins the last game of the season. Here’s why none of them will.
LeBron James has single-handedly destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers’ franchise twice now. The first go-round was shortly after the team invested tons of money to try to build a franchise around him and he bolted to the Miami Heat. But the Cavaliers recovered, thanks to some draft luck and landing perennial All-Star…
Perhaps you might have heard that Kyrie Irving asked to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers. And that he apparently made this request as early as last year, soon after the Cavs won the championship. And that the Cavs were already attempting to trade him this summer, and that this is part of the reason why (former)…
OK, now this is really getting good. According to sources who spoke with the always yelling Stephen A. Smith, King James—the lead singer of King James and the Jamettes by way of the Cleveland Cavaliers—wants to beat current but soon-to-be-former teammate point guard Kyrie Irving’s ass.
NBA All-Star guard Kyrie Irving may be done being one of the “Jamettes” as a side show to LeBron James’ lead-singer role with the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to ESPN, Irving asked to be traded in a closed-door meeting with Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and noted that he no longer wanted to play alongside James.
There's so much to like about the idea of LaVar Ball that at times it feels like he was created in a Likable Nigga Generator. First, of course, is the fact that he's the very involved Black dad of three star athletes, which contradicts both a stereotype about Black men and a stereotype about Black athletes. He's…
This past weekend during the National Basketball Association’s All-Star festivities, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star Kyrie Irving appeared on the NBA podcast Road Tripping With RJ & Channing and said, “The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. ... It’s right in front of our faces. I’m telling you, it’s right in front…
Who is Kyrie Irving?
1. Saying Lebron James is the best basketball player in the world feels like such a matter-of-fact and unnecessary assertion that saying it aloud makes me feel dumber. Like saying "Hey, that dog over there is a mammal." Or perhaps "That Kappa over there is wearing a sweater vest. In July. While playing flag football."…
The Cleveland Cavaliers took the win against the Golden State Warriors Thursday, becoming the third team ever to force a Game 7 after trailing behind with a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Times reports.
In recent days, artists and ball players have provided a gotdamn clinic on how NOT go about several facets of everyday living. They’ve also exposed one of the most significant double standards we have in the Venus vs Mars debate. For those not in the know, a singer you don’t know named Kehlani used to date Cleveland…
Who is Kyrie Irving?
Tonight, the Golden State Warriors will host the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first game of what should be a very entertaining finals. You have stars (Lebron, Curry, Kyrie, Klay), multiple compelling storylines, feisty Australians with hockey playoff beards, Draymond Green — the patron saint of "Wishanigga Woods", and…
Saturday night, at approximately 10pm EST, Kyrie Irving was competing in the final round of the 2015 three point contest. The other contestants? The "Splash Brothers" — Golden State Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson; a duo doing the exact same thing to the NBA in 2015 that Al B. Sure and Christopher…
Kyrie Irving is very good at playing basketball. Here are the results from the last seven professional basketball games Kyrie Irving — who is very good at playing basketball — played, and how the point guards matched up against him fared.
1. At the moment, Dion Waiters is not a very good NBA basketball player. This is a fact most who follow the NBA agree on. He is average to below average in pretty much every advanced metric you can name — advanced metrics were basically invented just to prove that players like Dion Waiters were ineffective — and he…
I first saw Kyrie Irving play live in the 2010 Jordan Classic — an annual high school all-star game featuring the country's best basketball players. Although it was broadcast on ESPN, I forgot it was coming on, but some random channel surfing allowed me to catch the last few minutes.
