Kendrick Perkins dragged after attempting to put on the cape for LeBron James

Brandon King

Platinum level LeBron James flag bearer Kendrick Perkins was taken to task on social media after he needlessly came to the defense of LeBron James.  In a post on the former NBA player and current ESPN talking head said : Bron gets tired at 40 years old and people question his greatness… but Jokic gets tired and its he needs more help.

Cooper Flagg looks unhappy with draft lottery outcome

Brandon King

The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Draft Lottery ( which set off the BS detector of many basketball fans) , meaning they will, in all likelihood, use that No. 1 pick to take Duke forward Cooper Flagg. Flagg was in attendance at the NBA Draft Lottery ( why the League brings them to this event is questionable at best and at worst, outright pointless) The camera was focused on Flagg right after it was revealed the Mavericks won the draft lottery and the consensus future no.1 pick offered little reaction…

FS1 host slams “tone deaf” LeBron James

Brandon King

“I am at a point in my career I don’t lose sleep over that ‘how did me and Luka’… there’s eight other guys on the floor.” It seems when to LeBron, reveling in the adulation, it’s a solo act; however accepting blame and accountabilty, it is always an ensemble.  For many years this has been LeBron’s modus operandi, as he has always sought to avoid blame at nearly all costs; its as if he sees personal basketball as a scarlet letter and he refuses to be Hester Pryne.  This act…

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.

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and was even part of midseason trade with the Charlotte Hornets centered around Hornets big man Mark Williams that rescinded, forcing an awkward return to the Lakers.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…
