Kendrick Perkins fell for a fake story about Kyrie Irving and James Harden

You absolutely hate to see it.

Everything about the Nets’ 129-100 win over the 76ers was just about as chaotic as it could possibly be.

There was the booing of Ben Simmons, there was the trash talk between Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid, there was the woeful performance from James Harden. Just throw it all into the bucket of chaos.

But the chaos did not stop there. No, absolutely not. It continued into the next day. Particularly with ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins.

Now y’all know Perk, man. He loves to drop a hot take and just leave it there sizzling whether it’s on the internet or live television. But sometimes he can get a little too eager to get a little too hot.

That happened on Friday’s episode of ESPN’s Get Up when Perk based his sizzling take off of a fake story from the NBA satire account terrorizing the internet, Ballsack Sports.

Now, look. Let’s be honest. We’ve all probably been “sacked” at least once or twice at this point. They make some pretty believable graphics! It isn’t until you see the name and source that you’re like…nah, this ain’t real.

Apparently, Perkins didn’t get to that part though. He talked about how there was still clearly beef between Kyrie Irving and James Harden and you could see it through Irving’s excellent defensive performance on Harden.

And, sure, there’s probably beef there after the way things ended in Brooklyn. But, uh, this practice Perkins is talking about? It didn’t happen.

“All those rumors and stories that we heard about Kyrie and James Harden in practice with the Nets and Kyrie going at him? Guess what. Kyrie showed us last night that that was facts and it was true.” 

That all sounds well and good until you figure out that the story actually came from here.

Man. I cannot believe that a Twitter account with this name continues to put people in the bag like this. It’s really incredible. They got Perkins. They sacked him. It’s tragic. But also pretty hilarious.

NBA fans got a laugh out of this one.

LL Cool J explaining his wild behavior in 90’s music videos is exactly what you need to see today

You absolutely need to hear LL’s explanation about why he washed a woman’s hair in the shower while fully clothed. It’s great.

LL Cool J was a wild boy, man. And I mean that in the most endearing way possible.

He didn’t do anything wrong, really. His music videos were just so wild back in the day.

For those of you who aren’t hip, there’s a lingering conversation on the internet that pops up every once in a while is the one about LL Cool J in his music videos. He used to just wild out a little bit.

There’s the ‘Paradise’ video, for example, where he emerges from some water with a whole Kangol hat on somehow. There was also that one time in the ‘Loungin’ video where he poured chocolate syrup on a woman’s knee…while she was sitting on the hood of a car in the middle of New York City. The man even washed a woman’s hair while fully clothed in the shower in a Babyface video.

Dude was wild. That’s all there is to it. And, as fans, we’ve always had questions about how these things came about and, well, why?

LL finally gave us answers and they were perfect answers.

WARNING: There is some NSFW language included in this video

“Ah, it’s time to break the silence. Yeah, I was definitely ridiculous. That’s my goal.”

We’re off to an amazing start. Then he broke into his first explanation — playing the guitar on a woman’s leg.

“Playing the guitar on a young lady’s leg. My father always said, when I asked him if he worked out, he said ‘the heaviest thing I lift is a leg.’ I always loved that.” 

 Word, word. OK. Got you. What about that time with the chocolate syrup, LL? How do you explain that one?

“Definitely was wylin. Although, I always felt there should’ve been more chocolate. Maybe using a giant paint brush or something and just really go in.” 

Alright, word. Glad we agree that you were definitely wylin. Chocolate and heat do not mix, buddy. But how about that time you told us your hat was like a shark fin?

“Everybody knows my hat is like a shark fin. You know, bald head and all that. You know what I’m saying? Cut through the concrete…Yeah, I love it. Shark week, baby. I love the sharks. It’s what I do. Hat is like a shark fin — no question about it.” 

As a fellow bald man, I cannot relate. But I am very happy for you, LL.

Anyway, y’all get the picture by now. As unhinged as these videos were, LL’s explanations were just as wild which was absolutely perfect and also necessary. So necessary it needed two parts.

LL fans absolutely loved this, man. And I can’t say I blame them. This was phenomenal.

The Thunder just figured out the perfect defense for NBA basketball with a new strategy adding two extra players

Somebody should’ve called interference. Oh, wait. Is that a thing in the NBA?

You remember back in the day when you’d be playing pickup ball on the playground with the homies and, every once in a while, some random person would walk across the court and mess up the game.

Maybe they’d catch the ball after a steal or maybe they got in the way of a layup or something. It could literally be anything. All that mattered was they were in the way of the game.

I don’t know how y’all called that on your playground. But on mine? We called that interference. And it was simple. There was a timeout, you’d check the ball up once the court was cleared of the bystanders and then the game starts up again.

Does…does the NBA not have a rule like that? Because, clearly, they needed one last night during the Timberwolves’ game against the Thunder.

Jordan McLaughlin got a steal and was out in the open court. From our vantage point, it looked like a clear layup and an easy two points for the Wolves.

Too bad the Thunder were playing 7-on-5 basketball, though. Clean-up crew to the rescue.

Bruuuuuh. That is unbelievable. They were really mopping up sweat spots during a fastbreak. How often does this happen? That’s wild.

And, look, we can’t really blame them here. They’re just doing their jobs. Nobody can fault them for that. It’s really unfortunate that it happened and that the Wolves couldn’t score.

But this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why that interference rule needs to be a thing.

Luckily the Wolves were up pretty big already so this didn’t really matter. But, man. This is still pretty wild. Fans couldn’t believe this happened.

Devin Booker just had one of the wildest beefs in NBA history with the Toronto Raptors’ mascot

Lighten up, D Book! Sheesh.

Devin Booker is clearly a guy who takes his basketball very seriously. And why wouldn’t he? He is a professional basketball player, after all.

That same serious attitude is what helped propel the Suns to the NBA Finals last season. So, obviously, it is incredibly useful and has helped him improve his game a ton over the years.

But it’s also extremely not fun sometimes. Like, for example, that time Book complained about being double-teamed…in a pick-up game. Boy, was that ever weird.

We got another one of those weird situations on Tuesday when the Suns played the Raptors. Except for this time it was also pretty hilarious.

Devin Booker got legitimately upset at the Toronto Raptors’ mascot. Yes, you read that correctly. The mascot.

While he was shooting free throws, the Raptor — who is literally the only fan in the building, by the way — was jumping up and down trying to distract him. You know, regular, normal stuff for any basketball game.

Book had enough of it. He told the officials to tell the Raptors to chill.

Then they put the Raptor in timeout. IN THE CORNER. He was only doing his job, man.

And look at what he was mad at! The Raptor gets a few inches off the ground and it’s enough to distract Booker, apparently.

We’ve had some wild NBA rivalries before. Bird v. Magic. Jordan v. Everybody. Steph v. LeBron. But I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything quite like Devin Booker v. The Raptor.

This is just wild. NBA fans had so many jokes.

Jae Crowder’s courtside dive nearly took pop star Jojo Siwa out during the Suns-Lakers game

The body control here is insane.

We should really ban courtside seats at some point. It’s long overdue.

Case in point: Jae Crowder nearly dove directly into Jojo Siwa out on Tuesday night during the Lakers’ game while going for a loose ball. The way he somehow miraculously avoided Jojo Siwa after diving for a loose ball against the Lakers was incredible.

He was running toward the sideline full-speed and getting ready to dive for the ball when, all of a sudden, there were people. Right there. And one of them was Jojo Siwa.

To Siwa’s credit, she reacted pretty quickly and slid slightly out of the way. But Crowder is a big dude, man. At least relative to regular folks, anyway. They could’ve both been flying into the crowd had he not avoided her.

Luckily, he did. And all of the pre-teens around the world breathed a quick sigh of relief.

But look at how close it was! This is super dangerous.

Everyone was OK, though, so it’s all good. Plus the Suns managed to have a little bit of fun with this moment after the fact.

Giannis Antetokounmpo just discovered dunking Oreos into milk and has the best reaction

This is the most wholesome thing ever.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is as ferocious as it gets on the basketball court. He will absolutely destroy you.

He’s a 6’11 gazelle streaking down the floor ready to dunk on you or block your shot at any moment. There’s nothing nice or sweet about this dude in between those lines.

But off the court? That’s a different story. He seems like the most wholesome dude ever off the court. Case in point: His new story on how he discovered you could dunk Oreos into milk.

That’s right. Giannis didn’t know this was a thing people did. And that’s reasonable considering it seems to be an American thing and he’s not American.

But some kid told him to do it and, clearly, this changed his world. He tweeted about it.

This is the absolute best.  It’s also like that time he discovered smoothies. Just an amazing, incredible moment.

My man called Oreos with milk his new bedtime snack. That, in itself, is just ridiculous. He better have himself a great toothbrush because he’s going to need it.

Truly, I cannot wait to see what food he discovers next.

This Florida Man captured an alligator in a recycling bin and successfully won the internet

Florida Man >>>>>

This has to be one of the greatest Florida Man stories in the history of Florida Man stories. It just has to be.

We’ve seen some wild things go down in Florida, but I don’t know if we’ve ever seen anything quite like this. This man — in his slides and socks — somehow successfully captured an alligator that was in his yard by using … a recycling bin.

A recycling bin, y’all. You cannot make this up. I wouldn’t believe it myself if I hadn’t seen the footage.

A live alligator in your yard has to be absolutely terrifying. But, clearly, not for this guy. He handled the gator like an absolute champ.

That’s just incredible, man. The mettle. The resolve. Just amazing stuff. The internet absolutely loved it.

This Steelers fan trolled the Cleveland Browns so hard they blocked him on Twitter

This is just expert-level trolling. Wow.

Twitter, man. It’s the perfect place to talk trash about to your most hated sports teams.

Nine times out of 10, they won’t actually see it. But if they do? And if they fall for it? Whew, boy. That’s what I like to call some beautiful internetting right there.

That’s what actually happened with this Steelers fan, Brian Campbell, who absolutely caught the Browns in a perfect troll.

He set it up innocently enough. He made it seem as though he was a fan of the team and was just trying to get an “Owen” jersey after a tough loss in week 1 to the Chiefs.

Then, what followed was a perfect troll story in two parts.

OWEN 1. GET IT?!? BECAUSE THE BROWNS ARE 0-1. BECAUSE THEY LOST TO THE CHIEFS. WOW.

I’ll be honest with y’all. It took me a half-hour to fully understand this. But once I got it? WHEW did I get it. Just expert trolling, man.

Twitter absolutely lost it.

Aaron Rodgers proves he’s more accurate than Tom Brady with this REAL throw

What. A. Throw.

At 37 years old, Aaron Rodgers might still be the best quarterback in the NFL. Especially when you talk about him from an accuracy standpoint.

He’s proving it by making REAL throws. Ya know, unlike whatever it was Tom Brady decided to give us a few weeks ago. I’m only half kidding.

Anyway, there aren’t many folks around the league who can Rodgers’ accuracy. Case-in-point, this absolutely ridiculous throw Rodgers’ made at Packers’ camp.

Rodgers was at least 40 yards down the field from the endzone when he was snapped the ball. There was a net set up in the absolute back corner of the endzone on the left side.

Rodgers gets the ball, drops back and floats an absolute beauty of a ball that catches nothing but net. It was like a Steph Curry jump shot.

This angle is even better. Just amazing.

Rodgers still has it, man. He was the MVP for a reason. What a throw.

Steph Curry had the most hilarious response to a reporter calling him ‘Wardell’

Wow this is a great meme.

Stephen Curry is a household name on the basketball court and rightfully so. He’s a three-time NBA champion, a two-time MVP and the best shooter to ever play the game. Period.

So, of course, everyone knows his name. Or at least what we call him, anyway. Probably not many people know his full name is Wardell Stephen Curry II, named after his dad, Dell, who also played in the NBA.

You rarely hear Curry being called by his actual first name. It just doesn’t happen. Until Thursday, that is.

During the Warriors media availability, a reporter called Curry by his actual first name and drew out the most hilarious response.

LOL. That is absolutely hilarious.

Now, to be clear, the reporter in question here is The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson. And he has a pretty great relationship with Curry, so this is probably an inside joke between the two of them.

And what a great joke it was. It just got us some brand new meme material. Just look at this face.

Yup. That’s it. That’s definitely the look. That same look you give when anybody who isn’t your mom calls you by your actual first name. That’s also the look that you give when your mom calls you by your actual name because you know you’re definitely in trouble right now.

This is great. Pure comedy. Shouts to Wardell — both of them.
