Keith Olbermann, one of these liberals who are supposed to be friends of black people took to twitter, calling Reese a “fucking idiot.” ( Olbermann has since offered an apology that was spurred more from the backlash he received, rather than authentic contrition.) Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy ( this is who you…

Brandon King

Last night the Lakers and the Clippers met in a pivotal matchup with playoff implications.

Brandon King

Back in 2017, the relationship between Paul George and the Indiana Pacers was in its death throes and the only way to put it out of its misery would be to find the All-Star forward a new home.

What will come as a surprise to many is that PG nearly ended up in Cleveland…

Ja Morant to be away from Grizzlies indefinitely

Brandon King

Ja Morant has been the talk of the NBA world and unfortunately, it has nothing to do with his high level of play or his jaw-dropping forays to the basket but rather his questionable and concerning activities off the hardwood. Amidst reports surfacing of him laying the smackdown on a high school basketballer and a scuffle with security personnel at a shopping mall, in a move that can only be described as daft, the Grizzlies star guard brandished a pistol on a recent Instagram live. Saturday the Memphis Grzzlies announced…
