Back in October, it was reported that James Harden had left his then-girlfriend, singer Ashanti, for some Instagram model.

Now, I’m sure when it comes to women, Harden’s options are limitless, but still, I can’t help but think he’s regretting his decision right about now.

Why should the Rockets star be regretting his choice to let Ashanti go? Look not further than the performance she put on at Brazil’s popular Carnival:

DAYUM! Looks like everyone was getting a ride…except for James Harden, of course.

Here’s more of Ashanti at Carnival:

Kristaps Porzingis may his much anticipated return to Madison Square Garden and Knicks fans were waiting for him.

As soon as his name was announced in the Mavs starting lineup, the crowd booed the hell out of him.

In the below videoi, he simply smiled and laughed as he traded hi-fives with his teammates.

The MSG crowd also chanted “traitor” and “go back to Latvia” during the national anthem.

That is just horrible.

Since the Kristaps Porzingis trade on January 31, 2019, every team in the NBA has won at least 10 games except for one.

The New York Knicks.

Carmelo Anthony has found a home.

The announcement came down on Thursday that the NBA all-star had finally found a team to sign him so he could continue his career.

“I want to play and I want to go and win a championship, but I also want to play. I want to get back out there on the court. I miss the game. I was away from the game for damn near a whole season. I got the opportunity to step back and grow as a person, and I deserve another shot,” Anthony said on ESPN’s First Take in August.

After just 10 games played with the Houston Rockets last season, the team shut him down as they realized fairly quickly that it wasn’t working out with him on the team.

The Rockets unsuccessfully attempted to trade him, eventually handing him to the Bulls as a salary dump. The Bulls would then waive him and Anthony had gone unsigned until today’s news.

Bettor Drops $1,000 On Golden State Warriors To Win 2019-2020 Title

Talk about throwing your money straight in the trash.

The 2019-2020 Golden State Warriors are nothing like we last saw them when they were fully healthy, as Kevin Durant has bolted in free agency, Andre Iguodala has been traded, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are both down with injuries for the next few months.

The team is currently 2-10 and likely won’t come close to qualifying for the postseason.

That didn’t stop one bettor from pulling out $1K and betting on the Warriors to win it all this season.

The bet would pay him $1 million.

Such sad news to hit the basketball community when it was announced that former North Carolina State and NBA player Anthony Grundy tragically lost his life on Thursday.

According to USA Today, Grundy died due to “multiple sharp force injuries to the body.” Grundy was said to be involved in a domestic dispute, and when police showed up at Grundy’s mother’s home, they found him on the street bleeding.

Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley stated that investigators think Grundy was involved “in some type of altercation” at nearby apartments but were “uncertain specifically how he sustained that injury.”

Archie Miller, a former teammate of Grundy reacted to the news on Twitter, writing, “So Tough to hear the news of the passing of one my Best Men. Thoughts and Prayers go out to everyone impacted. Take it way back with a couple of these. Absolute Warrior, one the most fearless I have ever been around.”

Grundy played for N.C. State from 1998 to 2002, earning All-ACC First Team and All-ACC Defensive Team honors during his senior season. Grundy was a member of the Atlanta Hawks in 2006 and played just 12 games, spending much of his professional career playing overseas.

No arrests have been announced in connection with Grundy’s death.

It seems like it’s been awhile since Draymond Green last caught heat for hitting another player between the legs, so he made sure to get the conversation going once again during his latest incident.

During the 105-100 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday night, the Golden State Warriors forward was trying to stop Celtics’ Daniel Theis drive to the basket with some stellar defense.

Theis likely regretted that play as his junk ended up being hit by Draymond’s knee as he stayed down on the court in pain.

Kobe Bryant is a proud father, and he shows that off by being a very active dad in his kid’s life as he continues to transition from his life in the National Basketball Association.

The former Lakers legend posted a new video this week showing his 13-year old daughter Gigi playing basketball, and she pulled off a move we’ve seen her dad do hundreds of times during his career.

GiGi received the in-bounds pass, dribbled up the court as she took it to the baseline and shot a fadeaway over multiple defenders.

Not a pass in sight.

What in the world is going on here??

Teanna Trump, the 24-year-old porn star that went viral after claiming she had sex with a ‘really famous’ Indiana Pacers player at age 16, is back in sports news once again.

Trump took to Twitter on Sunday and tagged the Oklahoma City Thunder in a post and stated that a certain player on the team needs to pay what is owed to her. You can only assume that is possibly for some sexual favor, and that she’s tried numerous times before to get to this unknown player before taking it to social media.

“Your player needs to PAY ME what he owes me. @okcthunder”

Yikes.

Let’s take another look at Teanna Trump:

Social Media Thinks Porn Star Teanna Trump Called Out Ex-Thunder Player Paul George For Not Paying Her (TWEETS)

Porn star Teanna Trump sent social media into a frenzy when she took to Twitter and claimed an unnamed OKC player owes her money and she wants him to pay up.

“Your player needs to PAY ME what he owes me. @okcthunder,” in a tweet she has since deleted.

Many folks started to go through the roster and none of them really made sense, except for Paul George, who played on the team for two years before he got traded to the Clippers.

George was also connected to Trump awhile back when she stated she had sex with a ‘really famous’ Indiana Pacers player at age 16. Paul George was on that team at the time.

Social media started to assume she had no clue he was gone off the team, which is why she ultimately deleted the tweet. It’s not out of the realm to think it’s not George, since he was dating Doc Rivers’ daughter at one time, cheated on her with a stripper, got the stripper pregnant, and then got into a relationship with her.

According to her ‘likes’ on Twitter, it looks like whoever the player was may have gotten her that money to make this go away before it got worse.

Danny Green did something on Sunday night that many NBA fans just aren’t used to as he skied high for a put-back dunk in Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks.

That dunk was so crazy and athletic that the league thought something might be going on, so they sent a random test his way.

The Los Angeles Lakers veteran took to Twitter to announce he had been drug tested.

To be fair, that was a pretty monstrous dunk for a 32-year-old.

We have yet another Twitter map that is showcasing that the NFL remains the dominate sport over the NBA in terms of popularity across the United States.

Betonline.ag used geotagged Twitter data that they gathered over the past month, which included mentions and hastags for both leagues, and used that information to create a map of team popularity across the United States.

The NFL dominates in pretty much every state except, Utah, Arizona, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and New York.

There are several NFL franchises where their popularity extends outside of the state that they in. Those teams include the Seattle Seahawks, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, and New England Patriots.

Most NBA fans know Charles Barkley as the former NBA great turned analyst on Inside The NBA. He, Ernie, Kenny Smith, and Shaq provide us with laughter every single week on TNT.

A large majority of seasoned NBA fans also know Chuck to be a terrible human being throughout his life as he has joked about hitting women, joked about beating his wife, actually spitting on an 8-year-old during a game, as well as other things that can be found with a simple search on google.

Well, that old Chuck reared its ugly head again when he came acorss a female reporter at some type of get together and joked about hitting her.

She did not appreciate it.

She then began to retweet some of Barkley’s dirty deeds from years past:

Charles Barkley has since sent out a statement and apologized for his actions.

Alexi McCammond said Barkley made that comment after she asked for clarification over which Democratic presidential candidate he supports ahead of the 2020 race.

Turner Sports PR would soon release an apology on behalf of Barkley, saying the statements he made were “inappropriate and unacceptable.”

Alexi responded to that apology and that’s when other Twitter users began calling her out for past racist-like tweets she has to delete.

Matt Barnes Details Story Where Ex-Warriors HC Don Nelson Had Team Smoking Weed With Snoop, Woody Harrelson

Along with being one of the best rappers to ever grace a microphone, Snoop Dogg has long been known as an expert weed smoker. If there were Madden ratings given out for weed smokers, he would be a ’99’ every single year.

Former NBA player Matt Barnes had a very interesting story to tell about Snoop Dogg that involved weed, but it first started with his own head coach at the time.

Barnes told Arash Markazi of the Los Angeles Times that ex-Warriors head coach Don Nelson wanted to celebrate after the ‘We Believe’ Warriors ended up beating the first-seed Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs, so he brought them all to a party that had numerous famous people just casually smoking weed.

“We got up to [Don Nelson’s] penthouse in Lake Merritt and he tells us, ‘Woody’s in the back rolling doobies fellas, go back there. It was Woody [Harrelson] rolling doobies and our coach is telling us to go back there and smoke with him.

Nelly had the whole roof and we go up and there’s Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson, and Snoop. We ended up going out to a club in San Francisco and lived it up after that and then we went back to Snoop’s hotel and blew it down.

There was so much smoke in the room, they came knocking on the door and we were thinking, ‘Oh, damn, here we go.’ They came in, unscrewed the window, opened them up so the smoke went out, asked us if we needed anything and they left the room.

I’d never seen anything like that before. Only Snoop. The legendary Snoop.”

Don Nelson is an avid weed smoker, so him hanging out with a legend like Snoop should come as no surprise.

A scary scene unfolded in Denver tonight during the Celtics-Nuggets game as Boston’s star point guard Kemba Walker was stretchered off the court with what appeared to be a neck injury.

Walker appeared to be reaching for a lose ball when he stumbled forward and went head first into a teammate’s body. He immediately dropped to the floor and was attended to by medics for several minutes before being stretchered off.

Here’s a look at how it happened.

This is not what anyone wants to see happen on the court, no matter what team you’re cheering for. Walker received a standing ovation as he left the building.

We’ll have more updates as we get them. In the meantime, we’ll be praying for him.

It was an ugly scene in Denver as Kemba Walker has to be stretchered off the Pepsi Center court after sustaining a neck injury. And it nearly turned even worse for the Celtics guard when one of the medics ushering him out took a spill and came awfully close to tipping the stretcher.

Kemba was already in rough shape. Falling from the stretcher onto the hardcourt is not something that anyone would have wanted to see happen at that point. But it almost did happened.

Here’s a look at how close it was:

Rajon Rondo has always been a fiery player. That fire of his got him to an early shower on Friday night against the OKC Thunder.

With about ten minutes late in the 4th quarter, the NBA veteran could be seen hitting Thunder guard Dennis Schroder in the groin and receiving a technical foul.

He kept arguing with a ref to the point that you could see him call him a “fucking pussy.”

That’s when he got ejected.

Lakers still won the game without him.
