Steve Ballmer is officially the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. And it’s about damn time.

This, truthfully, couldn’t have been done any sooner. Not [...]

Kobe Bryant and Anthony Davis couldn’t seem more different off the court. One is a ruthless competitor, a vociferous murderer of rivals and rims, and championship-ring-bearing lunatic…in a good way. The other is a silent, rather stoic and shy workhorse with the versatility and wingspan necessary to do just about anything he wants. They’re different. [...]

Coming off their worst season in franchise history (27-55)—a lot of people will unsurprisingly not expect anything big from the Los Angeles Lakers for the upcoming season. But of course, a lot of factors contributed to their tumultuous season as injuries kept nagging the roster, while they constantly allowed their opponents to penetrate to the [...]

Something tells me this is kind of a big deal. Kevin Durant has decided to withdraw himself from Team USA’s FIBA World Cup roster. Marc Stein of ESPN.com dropped the bomb: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/497507577060552704] His bomb was followed by Durant’s announcement bomb, which didn’t cite Paul George’s injury for his decision, per Jeff Zillgitt and Adi [...]

Less than two years from now, when Kevin Durant is a free agent and he’s spouting off party lines about money not mattering, believe him. Because money won’t matter. Or at least it shouldn’t.
