Jalen Brunson and the Knicks are proof that having a <i>Napoleon</i> complex isn’t all badIt’s Oscars Week, which feels like as good a time as any to draw up the NBA storylines and characters which could double as Oscar nominees....

Don't be Kenny Smith; Redick blasts Rivers; the Knicks are back; How about that ASG?You don’t have to put on the pom-poms for Sabrina Ionescu or women’s sports, but too many broadcasters are happy to communicate that women’s participation, or records, or fandom is somehow less than. ...

The Knicks are back after 2 decades of James Dolan terror and ineptitudeThe New York Knicks won the NBA trade deadline, fleecing the Detroit Pistons for Bojan Bogdanović and Alec Burks. They added the backup playmaker and off-the-bench scoring they were missing to reach championship contention. Fully healthy, and despite their recent injury-induced hiccup, the Knicks ca...

Jalen Brunson is the best point guard in the NBA

At his introductory press conference on Sept. 22, 2022, Jalen Brunson sat at a podium, decked out in a crisp number 11 New York Knick jersey, and said the following, “I’m not a savior in any way, shape, or form. I just want to be able to contribute to the team.”...

In the headlines: History for Michigan sports; Jim Dolan sex assault case; Insanity at Australian Open

Sports are about numbers, and that isn’t just because scores are kept. A player’s height and weight matter, they’re ages, too. But the best moments are when things occur that haven’t happened in a long time, as sports are also a marker of time. We just witnessed the best seven days that a place with...

Isn't it about time the NBA forces James Dolan to sell the Knicks?

I did not know what I was getting into when I became a Knicks fan. I got into it to find a bond between my father and me. He grew up as a New York street ball legend who listened to the Knicks on transistor radios with his buddies, huddled around a car drinking tallboys and sharing a joint. As a chu...

Sex-harassment lawsuits are not a new thing for James Dolan

James Dolan has once again found himself with legal problems. His decision to ban lawyers who represented a group of ticket resellers who sued the New York Knicks team owner — a suit that was dismissed in spring 2023 — currently has Madison Square Garden’s liquor license in jeopardy. A new suit agai...

Jim Irsay saying cops target white billionaires sounds like an Onion headline

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has gone full C. Montgomery Burns. That type of detachment from reality can happen when you grow up in a family that owns an atom-smashing plant — pardon me, the Colts franchise....

This week in the locker November 18, 2023

I and many other Chicagoans used to sit in our simple Midwestern homes, huddled by the coal stove or whatever people picture us doing in the winter (it’s not that far off, it’s just huddled at the bar), and have a good chuckle at how New Yorkers were sentenced to a life with James Dolan. Here was a ...

Carlos Rodón puts a chef’s kiss on the New York Yankees’ current slide

Boy, do I have a clip and some snark for those of you who hate the New York Yankees — or love them. There’s a certain degree of masochism in all NY sports fans, because every single one of them has James Dolan, the Mets, the Jets, or maybe the Nets in their lives, and cannot, will not quit them. (Ag...

The New York Rangers eat dirt like the frauds they’ve always been

It’s important to review recent New York Rangers history to know why they ended up with a handful of their own dicks in the first round, to a New Jersey Devils team that is far more equipped for what wins in the NHL these days. Two years ago, James Dolan took a break from his normal paint-huffing ro...

How funny would we find the Roy family if they ran the Los Angeles Lakers?

I’m glad everybody’s having a good time. You’re coming around, I’m coming around, we’re all coming around to laud Succession’s place in the hierarchy of prestige TV. It’s great, right? Buffoonish children unintentionally destroying their father’s empire by simply trying to act like serious people is...

The Isiah Thomas-Michael Jordan beef still going strong decades later

I guess if Michael Jordan gets to remain bitter about events from 40 years ago then everyone else from that time should be granted the same courtesy. In 2021 it was Scottie Pippen — promoting his bourbon and book — who was publicly critical of Jordan. Since the NBA 75 Greatest Team gathered at the 2...

Hey Deion, there is no generational divide on privilege

If you currently play football for Colorado, you had better use a strong black marker to write your name on the tape on your helmet. The way that Deion Sanders has the program’s spring practice set up, the players currently do not have numbers. On the field is just going to be a mass of black, white...
