Steve Kerr, Rep. Ro Khanna Advancing the Gun Reform Conversation (Exclusive)

March 12, 2018 By 2 Comments

steve kerr

Steve Kerr is so much more than the championship Head Coach of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. He’s a very politically activated citizen, one who often utilizes the massive public platforms at his disposal to further his express his views on the issues. Gun reform is one of the most critical issues facing our country, and Kerr will join Rep. Ro Khanna (D-17) today to lead a town hall style discussion on gun violence in America with high school students from seven different schools across California’s 17th district.

The event, which is expected to be attended by 2,000 people, will take place at Newark Memorial High School in the events center starting at 3:45pm PT on Monday, 3/12.

It will also be live-streamed on Rep. Khanna’s official Facebook page.

Pete Carroll, Charles Barkley, Mark Cuban Respond to Trump UGLINESS

September 24, 2017 By Leave a Comment

pete carroll

Friday night Donald Trump held a campaign rally for an election that he already won 10 months ago. At the rally he called Colin Kaepernick, and other NFL players who don’t stand for the national anthem, “sons of bitches.”

Therefore he also called mothers of NFL players “bitches” in the process. Naturally and deservedly, he’s getting a ton of blowback for such hateful and divisive commentary. Chicago Bears Team Captain Akiem Hicks called Trump out on Saturday.

Chicago Bulls Fans Have Every Right to “Check Out” For a Very Long Time

June 23, 2017 By Leave a Comment

Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman lied to the media several times about shopping Jimmy Butler, so on the night that he finally dealt away his franchise player, some backlash was to be expected. The 20 cents on the dollar the Bulls got in return for Butler also opened the team up to being heavily critiqued.

Forman probably didn’t expect to be publicly called out as harshly as he was by Butler’s trainer though-

Bulls Get Fleeced in Jimmy Butler Trade; Some of the Funniest Reaction Tweets

June 22, 2017 By Leave a Comment

jimmy butler

The Chicago Bulls made a really poor business decision by holding a country music theme night (because nothing says NBA like honky tonk), but it was pure genius compared to the Jimmy Butler trade. If you thought Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace got fleeced on draft night, in what he gave up in order to acquire quarterback Mitchell Tribusky, well that was an Oceans 11 level of a brilliant heist compared to this.

The Minnesota Timberwolves sent Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and the rights to Lauri Markkanen at no. 7 to Chicago for Jimmy Butler and the rights to Justin Patton at no. 16. No, that’s not a typo.

2017 NBA Draft: Several Reasons this “Event” is Receiving Almost No Buzz

June 20, 2017 By 1 Comment

NBA-mock-Draft-sacramento kings

A few years ago, a Twitter user (and we only use the term “Twitter user” because we literally cannot locate the Tweet now) posted “the NFL Draft is porn, the NBA Draft is comfort food and the MLB Draft is stamp collecting.”

He did not even bother analogizing the NHL Draft, and he was right not to do so. Here in 2017, his hilariously accurate at the time metaphors are now a bit off. While the NFL Draft is still a huge event it has definitely peaked in relevance. Its importance was overrated anyway. The MLB Draft is still certainly about as exciting as stamp collecting, but the NBA Draft is definitely not comfort food.

It’s more like a mediocre frozen dinner or run-of-the-mill cafeteria fare.

2017 NBA Playoffs: Still Nothing Worth Watching Until the Finals Begin

May 20, 2017 By Leave a Comment

atlanta-hawks-charles-barkley-nba-playoffs-chicago-bulls

If you haven’t checked in to the 2017 NBA Playoffs yet, don’t worry about it, as you haven’t really missed anything. Also, there’no rush on checking in, as you won’t need to until the NBA Finals begin June 1st. Maybe, if you want a warm-up, a preview show of sorts, you can half-heartedly consume the conference finals, and you still have a few days, almost a week until that gets going.

While these points are very debatable, the first two rounds being a pointless waste of time is something almost everybody can agree on.
