Kevin Porter Jr. has been arrested for domestic assault against his girlfriend. Idiot.

Shocking new details coming out. He broke her neck. He should be charged with attempted murder. We all know the Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Browns will offer him a max contract. Rott in prison you piece of trash.

Buddy Hield changed his number to 7. I was playing 2K and saw it but thought it was an overlook...you know since it's the Pacers

Appearing on Tidal League’s “Run Your Race” podcast with Theo Pinson, Myles Turner expressed regret that he wasn’t ready to assume the role of team leader after the Pacers traded Paul George in 2017 (hat tip to FanSided). “The beginning of that year, I got hurt. I got a concussion,” Turner recalled. “I was out for like two and a half weeks. So I missed the first two and a half weeks of the season, (and) Vic (Victor Oladipo) was going crazy. Hitting game-winners. Averaging like 20 a game. Domas (Domantas Sabonis) was like 20 and 10.” Turner added that he’s grateful to get another chance to be a leader with the current version of the team.

The last time USA won the World Cup, their starting point guard was…. Kyrie Irving.

they won every game and he shot over 60% from 3, including the gold medal game where he was easily the best player on either team and ended the game before halftime.

Kyrie is insufferable, but in no way is he unfit for FIBA.

Yes, just like Dennis Schroeder got hot for a bit, walked away with the MVP and Germany won gold.

Not true. He's fine if it's played in North America, but there is no way he's going to risk falling off the world to go to Australia or Asia.

Pretty sure he was just making a joke, dude. We know Kyrie is talented.
