Michael Jordan to join NBA on NBC as special contributor

Brandon King

The NBA will make its long awaited return to NBA coverage next season, unfortunately at the cost of NBA on TNT, who has done an excellent job of covering the Association. NBC made a major announcement Monday morning that Michael Jordan will be brought into the NBA on NBC fold as a special contributor.  Those of us who are of a certain age remember fondly, the NBA on NBC’s coverage ( how many of you have the theme song playing in your head as you read this?) and there is…

Dalton Knect is enjoying himself in the offseason 

Brandon King

Dalton Knect had an eventful rookie campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers. Knecht got an up close and personal view of the LeBron/Klutch Sports and was even part of midseason trade with the Charlotte Hornets centered around Hornets big man Mark Williams that rescinded, forcing an awkward return to the Lakers.  After a 50–32 season under podcaster-turned-first-year head coach JJ Redick, the No. 3 seed Lakers were sent packing in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs 4-1 at the hands of the No. 6 Minnesota Timberwolves. Like his…

Kevin Durant had time today

Brandon King

Due to his propensity to go back and forth on social media ( be it on his personal account or the occasional burner ) with those who he feel have disparaged him, basketball superstar Kevin Durant has been labeled “sensitive.” With his Phoenix Suns having long since been hurtled into the off-season far sooner than intended, Durant had time to engage in a social back and forth.  It began when an X user by the name of mr.outtheway addressed KD in a tweet that said “oh man @KDTrey5 fuck you…

The excuses for LeBron James never stop

Brandon King

The Minnesota Timberwolves did the basketball world a favor when they ousted the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs.  In typical Lebron James fashion, rather than merely take his losses on the chin, as other all-time greats have, he placed the blame on an extenuating factor, with injury being his go to excuse.  News emerged that James reportedly suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee.  Blaming a season-ending flameout on injury has become the standard operating procedure for James dating back…

Brian Windhordst slams “immature” JJ Redick

Brandon King

The Los Angeles Lakers, much to the delight of many basketball fans, were unceremoniously bounced from the NBA Playoffs via a 4-1,gentlemen’s sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves.  JJ Redick’s mystfying decison to play his second halfstating unit or the entiriety of the second half of Game 4 has been one of the most discussed and questioned moves of the series.  When asked about it prior to Game 5 , rather than stand in the proverbial heat of answering tough questions, Redick in a manner befitting of a…

Anthony Edwards hilariouly gives Shannon Sharpe and LeBron fans a taste of their own medicine

Brandon King

Birthed by Shannon Sharpe, “Lakers in 5” was an entertaining bit in which he would make his outlandish pro-LeBron/Lakers picks. The football Hall of Famer would name factors and individuals that even if the Lakers’ opponents possessed would still prove inconsequential as the purple and gold would be able to dispatch them with little trouble.  Sharpe, true to form, made his usual “Lakers in 5” prediction. Things did not play out as Sharpe and the Lakers fans hoped, as it was the Lakers who were defeated 4-1.  Anthony Edwards trolled…

Jalen Green says Draymond Green is all talk

Brandon King

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green is not the biggest Draymond Green fan. The two exchange words in a kerfuffle at center court following the conclusion of Game 3 of the Warriors and Rockets opening round playoff series, a 104-93 Golden State win. After the game, Jalen said of Draymond, “Just talking.

Shadeur Sanders drafted by Browns in 5th round

Staff

Courtesy of Mike Florio Cleveland now has five QBs on the depth chart. This time, it wasn’t a prank call. Even if Shedeur Sanders might have thought it was. The Browns, after drafting quarterback Dillon Gabriel in round three, have drafted Sanders in round five. His protracted slide ends at pick No. 144. And the Browns now have FIVE quarterbacks on the depth chart: Sanders, Gabriel, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Deshaun Watson. Can we get the Browns on Hard Knocks, please? The Browns presumably have a strategy. After all,…
