Long story short, Russell made himself the most untrustworthy teammate or friend in the league by recording something Young shared with him in a very-much private conversation.

Apparently, things have been even worse with his teammates. [Read more…]

Tweet of the Night: Coach Nick of BBALLBREAKDOWN explains why Stephen Curry is an elite defender
When you think of all the things that Stephen Curry can do on the floor, defense is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. It’s understandable given all the impossible things he can do offensively, but the reigning MVP doesn’t get enough credit for the job he does on the defensive end on most nights. In fact, he’s probably one of the most underrated defenders in the league given all the havoc he causes, which largely goes unnoticed by

Kyle Lowry enjoyed his 30th birthday on Friday, but the results on the court against the Houston Rockets was anything but pleasant.

Tweet of the Night: Kyle Anderson says Kawhi Leonard is the MVP of the league

Tweet of the Night: Dwyane Wade makes light of LeBron James unfollowing Cavaliers twitter account, Dan Le Batard loves James’ postgame reaction
LeBron James notched a triple-double against the Denver Nuggets on Monday, but the primary subject of discussion after the game had nothing to do with his performance on the court and everything to do with what he did with his phone. It was revealed early during the day that the forward, for whatever reason, unfollowed the official Cleveland Cavaliers twitter account. Expecting some kind of explanation, a reporter asked James after the game why he decided to unfollow his team’s account, to
Tweet of the Night: Marquis Daniels impressed with Stephen Curry’s game against the Dallas Mavericks
It’s not a Golden State Warriors game without at least a few Stephen Curry highlights, and Friday night’s contest against the Dallas Mavericks was no exception. Seriously. I’ve watched every single Warriors game this season and not a game went by without Curry doing something that simply makes you shake your head in disbelief. It never gets old because no matter how often he does it, it’s still something spectacularly impossible. [Read more…]
