Staff

written by Contributor Hodari P. T. Brown The NBA’s long-running battle with tanking is once again front and center. Recently, the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers were fined for sitting healthy players during critical fourth-quarter stretches of regular-season games before All-Star Weekend. The perception was clear: positioning for the draft lottery mattered more than winning that night. For Utah, the strategy worked in one game. In another, it backfired and the Jazz won anyway. That irony underscores the complicated nature of tanking. You can attempt to lose strategically, but outcomes are never guaranteed. Still, the issue forced…

Jayson Tatum slams anti-Kobe media attacks

Staff

In recent years, since the untimely and tragic death of the great Kobe Bryant, there has been an upsurge in Kobe Bryant slander/disrespect. What makes it even more nefarious is that it is derived from propping up one LeBron James.  As repulsive as it is to hear the anti-Kobe rhetoric of the propaganda arm of clutch sports, the miasma of Kobe slander has infested the populace of the rank and file LeSychophant population, with some of them uttering some of the most depraved and repugnant things imaginable, none of which…
