The J.R. Smith Twitter and Instagram game is unparalleled. We know this.

The tweet he sent out a little after 9 p.m tonight a few hours after his Knicks lost to the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden though really might be some of his best work. Kris Humphries best duck. Read More »

It’s safe to say that as far as NBA players go, the Knicks’ Iman Shumpert is personality-plus. [Watch Iman review the iPhone 5 by trying to dunk it]

After the jump there’s a clip of him freestyling yesterday at Knicks Media Day. A sampling of his lyrics: Read More »

Leave it to Kanye West to postpone the summer as long as David Stern did the NBA season a year ago. The G.O.O.D. Music performance that capped off Jay-Z’s Made in America music festival teased us almost as much as a new NBA 2K13 trailer from 2K Sports. But the best things in life are always worth the wait. Now, Yeezy has dropped Cruel Summer upon us, while the NBA’s offseason is at a dead period until training camp starts. Read More »

Before I even begin, let me say this video is NSFW. Just throwing that out there. The song – “Birthday Song” with 2 Chainz and Kanye West – is okay (I mean, I’m not sure how serious I should take it when someone spits: “She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty”), but it’s the new music video that just dropped today that has people talking. I’m not going to lie, I started cracking up watching this. Read More »

We’ve seen a few rapper vs. NBA player beefs. J.R. Smith and Joe Budden had themselves a little girl fight over Twitter, and there were recent rumors suggesting Lil Wayne and James Harden were fighting over Trina. But for the most part, the two sides have lived in harmony. Thankfully, the whole Kanye West/Kris Humphries/Kim Kardashian love triangle didn’t pop open and burst because that one actually had the potential to do some damage. Kanye certainly tried to – claiming on Twitter that he had been with Kim K while Humphries was married to her – but when has Kanye ever been anything other than a completely classless fool?

A new Kanye West track called “Theraflu” dropped last night, and even as Kris Humphries was rumbling to 21 points and 11 rebounds with New Jersey, everyone on Twitter was busy having a laugh at his expense. Kanye basically admitted he was in love with Kim Kardashian, and that while her relationship with the NBA player kept her away from him, Kanye said he could have Jay-Z drop him from the Nets: Read More »

The ultimate basketball warmup track has finally gotten the video treatment, and I’m not sure whether I should turn it off for fear of a headache or appreciate the uniqueness. Jay-Z and Kanye‘s “Ni**as In Paris” is a popular song, and I’m sure this video of the two performing it will catch a lot of discussion as well. Is Kanye wearing a skirt? As you might expect, this isn’t safe for work. Read More »

Level six is one of the most difficult things to grasp in the KobeSystem, but not for Kanye West. Read More »
