Does Tristan Thompson Have More Side Chicks or Post Moves? (An Investigation)
Here are the facts. Tristan Thompson plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. At the moment, he is the third-best Canadian in the NBA, a fact that doesn’t mean anything, but somehow also means everything. He is also a new dad today (congrats!) after his girlfriend Khloé Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl. This is Kardashian’s…

LeBron James Has a Biomechanist. Do You Have One? I Don’t
LeBron James is a freak of nature. Sure, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s (I’m not ashamed to admit I had to look up how to spell his name, gave up trying to get it right, and copied and pasted it) nickname is the Freak, but LeBron James? Bruh. It makes no sense that he’s able to play at…

Dallas Mavericks Investigating Sexual-Misconduct Allegations After Bombshell Report
The Dallas Mavericks have launched an independent investigation after a report by Sports Illustrated on Tuesday alleged that the NBA franchise maintained a “corrosive workplace culture” where women were routinely sexually harassed by male co-workers. The SI report focuses primarily on the conduct of former team President and CEO Terdema Ussery, who reportedly had a…

LaVar Ball Wants All His Children on the Same NBA Team and Even Plans to Hold Them Out if That Can’t Happen
I cannot figure out if LaVar Ball, the enigmatic father of three basketball prodigies, is a genius using common man’s-speak or, really just a common man speaking nonsense. It looks as if the senior-most Ball, who couldn’t keep himself out of his children’s high school, college or professional careers, is now working to get them…

So the Cavs Just Traded Everyone Except LeBron and LeBron’s Bigen
I began writing this at 1:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I’m sharing this information with you just in case, in the time between literally right now as I’m typing this sentence and the time this is actually published, the Cavs also decide to trade Kevin Love, LeBron James’ barber, Tyronn Lue’s suits, a rotisserie chicken…

Collusion? Forget Russia: LeBron James Is Willing to Take a Meeting With the Golden State Warriors
I’m going to need special counsel Robert Mueller to stand down on the Russia investigation and take a look at LeBron “King” James’ reported willingness to have a sit-down with the Golden State Warriors. That could mean that Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and James would be on the same team. This feels like Vladimir Putin’s…

It’s a Week Before the Super Bowl, and the Biggest Story in Sports Is a … Draft for the NBA All-Star Game?
Football is still America’s most popular sport. And the NFL our biggest and most popular sports league. But while the NFL’s status as the king of America’s sports hill remains, I don’t remember its position ever being as precarious. To wit, each of the biggest NFL-related stories of the year has been extremely unflattering to…

Maybe Kyrie Irving’s 3rd Eye Really Could Predict the Cavs’ Future
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. That said, it’s hard not to be fascinated by…

Watch: 5-Year-Old Steals Halftime Show at NBA Game With His Epic Dance Moves
The Cleveland Cavaliers-vs.-Golden State Warriors basketball game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day was aight (spoiler alert: Warriors won … again), but the real show was 5-year-old Tavaris Jones’ dancing during halftime. The young Detroit native kept the crowd entertained when LeBron James wasn’t busy crying scoring. Watch the video above.

In Defense of Following and Rooting for Players Instead of Teams
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.…
