NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a video statement earlier this month, in which he admitted that the league had been wrong for not listening to their players in the past, and expressed his support for their right to peacefully protest. Goodell’s remarks were a surprising about-face from a league that distanced itself from Colin Kaepernick’s protests during the national anthem in 2016. As […]
The Clippers team we saw Monday could look very different come Thursday. But this iteration of LA’s squad not named the Lakers did what it does best during a come-from-behind win over the Spurs at Staples Center. It played rugged defense after halftime and relied on its superstars to lead the way on a late […]
The Clippers aren’t making it up as they go, even if it may seem like it at times. There is a strategy. Sorta. A day after Kawhi Leonard missed his first game of the season for load management reasons, the talk before he returned to the court against the Spurs Thursday at Staples Center in […]
Gregg Popovich is fed up with President Donald Trump. The San Antonio Spurs head coach did not mince words in his response to the president, who last week called out Popovich and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr in wake of the NBA’s current controversy with China. “All I did was make a comparison between Adam […]
After a summer of injuries and elite players outright saying no to joining, Team USA was still expected to be a top contender in the FIBA World Cup.

For the first time in 13 years, an American team composed of NBA players took the court for an international game and lost…though you could argue they were due, especially considering their current roster makeup. The L came at the hands of some scrappy Aussies during an exhibition that took place on Saturday in Melbourne, […]
Team USA Coach Gregg Popovich is tired of inaction on gun control. The winningest coach in NBA history tried to light a fire under Congress after the US suffered two mass shootings in the span of 24 hours, including one in his adopted home state of Texas. “The situation we’re all living in now, everybody […]
The Raptors traveled to San Antonio to face the Spurs in their first matchup since the Kawhi Leonard-DeMar DeRozan trade, and fans made it clear that they did not support Leonard’s post-Gregg Popovich endeavors. San Antonio fans booed their former star as soon as he was introduced and did not show him much love as […]
When Kawhi Leonard was traded to the Toronto Raptors in July, we thought we were done looking back on what turned out to be a tumultuous tenure in San Antonio.

However, on Saturday, Popovich inexplicably decided to single out Leonard when asked about Patty […]
