Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
UPDATE 10:12 p.m. ET: Mason is on the sideline with a helmet on, but Isaac Guerendo is still the one receiving snaps. With four minutes left in the first quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, Jordan Mason was lined up to the right of Brock Purdy, who was in shotgun formation. Mason […]

DraftKings, your paradise of DFS nirvana, has done it again, with a new contest called NBA Starting 5. It’s so easy to play that my dad would have fun with it, and he barely knows how to text me. You select one point guard, one shooting guard, one small forward, one power forward and one […]

Back when the Ball brothers made Chino Hill High School a household name, there was another player that kept catching the eye of scouts, as Onyeka Okongwu flashed athleticism and was flushing down oops from LaMelo Ball. Okongwu then attended USC for one year and performed well, averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.2 steals and […]

The Knicks thought they were ready to take on the Big Boss to enter this season, as they won 47 and 50 games over the last two seasons and went all-in with the acquisitions of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns.

LaMelo Ball is one of the most exciting and electric basketball players in the Association. Unfortunately, he’s played over 51 games just once in his four-year career, and totaled 22 and 36 games over the last two seasons. In Wednesday’s opening night season debut, though, Ball reminded us all that he’s one of the best […]

Pelicans point guard Dejounte Murray (hand) played 30 minutes on Thursday. He didn’t have the greatest game, shooting only 4-of-15 from the field and 0-of-3 from downtown, but he managed to contribute 14 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists and one steal. After the game, though, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Murray fractured his left hand. […]

The Patriots passing game has been putrid this season, posting the fifth-lowest Total EPA. So being one of the leaders of the receiving group isn’t something to brag about. That said, being one of the leaders in any situation is always a good thing, and DeMario Douglas has been that for the Patriots this season, […]
