DeMarcus Cousins Does Not Like Chris Paul


Perhaps one of the oddest feuds in the NBA is the ongoing battle between Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul. Maybe Cliff Paul didn't send Cousins a Christmas card, maybe there's been some disrespect towards each other's diets, or maybe CP3 just plays in a way that's kind of irritating to people, especially big men.

Take the above video, for instance. After a botched alley-oop, Cousins corralled the loose ball. Paul went for the steal and kind of got his arm hooked around Cousins' arm. The latter didn't like that, and as he started falling out of bounds, he whipped the ball off of Paul's back. 

I understand both sides–Paul's playing hard, Cousins is upset that said hard playing is coming with the offender's team up by 18 with under three minutes to go in the game.

Either way, there's bad blood here. Now we just need T-Swift to write a song about the pair.

Chris Paul Says Goodbye To Kobe Bryant By Letting His Son Steal The Ball From Kobe


Kobe Bryant just finished his 18th and final All-Star Game, a rousing 196-173 West victory that featured about 45 seconds of defense and at least six-thousand dunks, as any good All-Star Game should.

As this was Bryant's last appearance, there were several little montages and fun moments throughout the game. But the cutest might have been during pregame warmups. Kobe was goofing around with Chris Paul's six-year-old son, Chris Jr., dribbling around the lil' CP3 with style and aplomb. That is, until Chris Jr. stole the ball from him. Guess quick hands are genetic.

NBA Mean Tweets Are Back!



The NBA season is finally in the books, with the Spurs knocking off the Heat in five games to capture their fifth championship in the last 16 years. Fortunately, something that ISN'T over is people taking to Twitter to insult basketball players. Jimmy Kimmel Live is back with another NBA edition of Mean Tweets, and once again, absolute kudos to the creativity of some of these insults.

NBA Mean Tweets



One of Jimmy Kimmel Live's best segments is the "Mean Tweets," which find celebrities and other such folk reading derogatory tweets directed at them. And I don't think any of the past installments has been as funny as this one, starring NBA players. My two favorites are Shaquille O'Neal and DeAndre Jordan, though Andre Iguodala's is very funny as well. Enjoy! And please, make your tweets a little more friendly. We'll all thank you.

DeAndre Jordan Tells Brandon Knight: "Dunk You Very Much"



As a huge basketball fan, I love watching any highlights. Possibly a few times a month, a play happens that makes me jump out of my seat. And possibly a few times a year, a play makes me get up and walk around afterwards. And possibly a few times in my life, a play causes me to spit out whatever I was eating or drinking, fall down, get back up and run around the neighborhood so I'll settle down. This dunk by DeAndre Jordan, in which he litchrally demolishes Brandon Knight, is one such play. ENJOY!
