Welp, that was a breathtaking beatdown.

The NBA has emphasized inclusivity and Black lives since the bubble restart. It appears this could all be performative, however, as the basketball league is donating to political parties that might not have the best interest of minorities in mind. The Ringer reported on Thursday that over 80% of the political donations from NBA owners have gone […]
Kids these days probably don’t know how good Delonte West was—or, for that matter, who he even was. But West could hoop and was a great player during his run. Remember his St. Joseph’s team with Jameer Nelson? They formed one of the best guard duos college hoops has ever seen. While Nelson won the […]
Charles Barkley is facing heat on social media after saying during NBA on TNT that Breonna Taylor‘s murder at the hands of police was different than the killings of George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery. “It’s just bad the young lady lost her life, but we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and […]
