Anthony Davis is totally fine being a meme. That’s because he became a champion the exact moment all the social media photoshoppers out there turned the pinnacle of the Lakers star’s basketball career into a punch line. “It was a cool moment, says Davis. “And it’s cool to be a meme.” If you’ve ever played […]
On this week’s podcast, Chopz, Adam, and Zion talk some NFL action and Chopz has a meltdown over the Browns before ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth joins the guys to talk about the bubble, NBA Finals, next season, and more. To wrap the episode, NBA champion Iman Shumpert joins the crew to talk about his new music, getting […]
Just because it was anticlimactic doesn’t mean it wasn’t spectacular. Because what we saw out of the Lakers in Game 6 was an exclamation point. Championships aren’t supposed to be punctuated in such emphatic fashion, but maybe it was fitting the most bizarre season in NBA history, and a roller-coaster NBA Finals, ended with Los […]
LeBron James isn’t supposed to lose close out games. But Jimmy Butler, the man who loves cowboy boots, country music, and sells coffee for $20 a cup out of his hotel room down at Disney World, has never cared much for popular narratives.

Companies and brands standing with the Black community are committed to bringing attention to the issues, too.

Welp, that was a breathtaking beatdown. Game 1s haven’t always featured the Lakers’ best effort this postseason, but Los Angeles put on a blistering performance that was downright scary Wednesday in the first game of the NBA Finals that left the Heat wondering what the hell happened and plenty of observers questioning if this series […]
The NBA Finals weren’t supposed to look like this. They were supposed to open in downtown Los Angeles with Staples Center bathed in its favorite colors—purple and gold—and a crowd of 18,997 supporters hyped for the Lakers’ return to basketball’s biggest stage for the first time in a decade.
