kawhi dominated this game while shooting 7-for-20 from the floor. he's quietly building a strong all-star case.

LeBron is the best player in the world from 2008-2018

how many players in NBA history have been the best player in the world for at least 6 straight seasons (and counting, with no sign of any let up)?

wrote about the spurs, wemby, and why it now feels like the 2026 title is anything but a foregone conclusion. (san antonio getting the no. 1 seed is officially in play!): www.theringer.com/2025/12/26/n...

so anyway, congratulations to nikola jokic for winning his 4th MVP last night

huff has 26 more blocks than myles turner despite playing 278 fewer minutes

from "can this team win 75 games?" to "will they be the 1 seed?"

the thunder may very well win this game but getting beat three straight times by a team that's bringing their best player off the bench should put any "best team ever?" conversations on ice

donovan mitchell is unreasonably absurd

a choice that has yielded a 144.4 offensive rating in 18 possessions!

playing brunson, clarkson, and kolek together is definitely a choice

i'm hyperventilating

really hoping that cam johnson injury isn't serious but it looked very bad

The VP of the US can give a speech saying no one has to be ashamed to be white anymore — the type of mainstream political speech we haven’t seen since before the civil rights acts, and the rhetoric is treated as merely divisive with few pointing out the obvious truth that white men remain in power.

is mpj an all-star?

the pending-divorce energy is off the charts

the hawks could be building around reed sheppard right now smh

*simpsons meme* the most gut-wrenching loss of the season so far

sacramento had the most gut-wrenching loss of the season last night. two ridiculous comebacks foiled by a phantom foul at the buzzer. jerami grant's dunk in overtime was a 10/10 on my own scale of unforgiving brutality

mavericks/pistons was a football game. cooper flagg looked like a guy who will win multiple mvp's at the end of regulation. detroit really really really missed ausar thompson's defense down the stretch.

on one hand, donovan mitchell, evan mobley, darius garland, and jarrett allen have only played 57 minutes together this season. on the other hand, woof

for the record, sarr and reed are perfectly fine picks

how was steph castle not the first pick in last year's draft?

I realize it's an early start but this is pathetic effort by the Cavaliers

"There is something a little deranged about hearing Mazzulla talk about love." Excellent piece by @louisathomas.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/sports/sport...

just woke up and watched the best basketball game i've seen in about 6 months

Ben Simmons gave this pass a standing ovation

i can't believe ja morant almost dunked on kevin love again. his most famous miss!

I sincerely hope people like this get the help they need

Jokic last night against the Kings: 36 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals...in 29 minutes He took 16 shots and missed two of them (92.2 TS%). Denver's offensive rating was 143.5 with him on the court (3rd highest of the season)

Grizzlies might be even more cursed than the Pelicans at this point
