There will never be another. He was stardust; he was golden, and he retires as the NBA’s all-time leader in triple-doubles. On any given night from somewhere around 2011-2020, Russ was the best basketball player who has ever lived. For one brilliant year, Russell Westbrook was all of basketball.

Any goal given is the best goal given, which indicates that the goal she scored against the Washington Spirit, rivals by virtue both of geography and of last year’s NWSL championship game, is among the best goals of her career, because they all are. Not unlike her English Bulldog Wilma, a women’s national team staple, Lavelle relishes the moment.

With an audacious worldwide entry already against the Netherlands to go up 2-0 in the 2019 women’s World Cup Final, Lavelle wasn’t looking for more of the same: she never is. Every goal…

Has Wemby arrived ahead of schedule, or have his teammates? Is San Antonio going to auger in a new period of parity before it had a chance to launch? The short answer: not if Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks have anything to say about it in the next three weeks.

This is it: it’s time for us to go to the wire. With one team having punched its ticket to the championship round over a week ago, and the other having had to punch its way through the widely-regar…

The Knicks don’t sweep series; they go down 2-1, like they did in the first round against the Atlanta Hawks, before making every subsequent brush with disaster the most heart-stopping affair possible. The Knicks play (and, recently anyway, win) close games. They don’t play close series.

Sitting at a place around the corner early Sunday afternoon, I openly pondered whether I had been alive when the New York Knicks last swept a series. In a knowing nod to my predilection for superst…

While hawks are a protected species, the Atlanta Hawks knew no protection from OG Anunoby, who led the Knicks to an NBA playoff record 47-point halftime lead and, ultimately, a 140-89 series-clinching victory over the charred fowl.

Since 1972, the same year in which The Omni opened in Atlanta, the taking (that is, the killing, capturing, selling, trading and/or transport) of protected migratory bird species without prior auth…

No one who has written for this site has ever seen the Philadelphia 76ers win a playoff series over the Boston Celtics. Game 7 is Sunday.

Exhale. Following the conclusion of the play-in tournament tonight, the NBA playoffs start tomorrow.

Standing two games away from us, finally, are the NBA playoffs. Breathe in; exhale.
