Say what you want about the Memphis Grizzlies’ Tony Allen—he’s a flopper and a ridiculous actor—but at least the guy always knows the score.

The 9 Greatest Trash Talking Moments In NBA History
The National Basketball Association has a proud tradition of trash talking that no amount of personal fouls or game ejections can obscure.

Despite Elimination, Classy Warriors Players Took Time to Thank Their Fans Last Night (Video)
The Golden State Warriors are one of the saddest franchises in the NBA. Coming into the 2012-13 season, they had made just two playoff appearances over the last 20 years. One was in 1994, when they got swept by the Suns in the first round. The other was in 2007, when they managed to upset [...]

We’re used to seeing the superstars on the Miami Heat in fancy suits by Versace and Gucci. Last night in Chicago, however, we saw one of them in a fancy suit by Ann Taylor. The culprit? That would be Dwyane Wade. Now, in fairness, Wade has to try pretty hard to keep up with teammates [...]

The 2013 NBA Playoffs are not even a week old, but the Indiana Pacers have definitely established themselves as the most impressive team so far.

This Fan of Chris “Birdman” Andersen Was Pretty Excited Last Night (Video)
When the Miami Heat picked up Chris “Birdman” Andersen midway through the 2012-13 NBA season, it reminded me a lot of the Bulls picking up Dennis Rodman in 1995.

A few weeks ago we brought you a list of the notable celebrity sightings from the 2012 NHL Playoffs.

Celtics Fan Hits Dwyane Wade in the Face with Ball (Video)
Every NBA fan fantasizes about getting courtside seats. They put you up front and in the action like no other seats in sports can. In hockey you can sit right next to the ice, but there’s a big piece of plexiglass between you and the game (thankfully). In baseball you can sit right down by [...]
