This winter has been disastrous—if you live in the south and are unaccustomed to snow, ice and temperatures below freezing. The polar vortex has been causing cold fronts that have been much more intense than any in recent years past. Pax, the most recent winter storm to pass through the east coast and make its way to the southern states, has hit hard. There is less snow in some areas than the last storm, but more ice.

After dominating the Miami Heat in their first meeting in December, Stephen Curry showed once again on Wednesday that he is a rising superstar in the league. With the game on the line and his team down by a point with just 23 seconds left on the clock, the point guard drove past his defender for a layup and drew the foul for a 3-point play early in the clock.

He came in thinking he would be paired up with Pau Gasol in the starting lineup to make up an intriguing duo of seven footers in a wide-open Mike D’Antoni offense. Instead, he has been stuck in the doghouse for much of the season, often having to wonder if he made the right
Nike brought two of the most cerebral athletes together for a couple commercial shoots on Monday. The Beaverton, Oregon based shoe and apparel conglomerate paired five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant and recent Super Bowl champion Richard Sherman. The two star athletes were mutually enthusiastic about the opportunity to work in the same building. While the details of their advertisements are not public knowledge, it is rather fitting that the two would be featured together—both have had their battles with negative press (whether
Metta World Peace has never been the most logical player in the NBA. We all know he has a long history of media moments, and Sunday is just another one on the list.
