Charles Barkley takes hilarious shot at the vegan crowd while discussing his all-world diet

We've talked many times before about Charles Barkley's ability to say whatever is on his mind and rarely receive any backlash for it. He's the Teflon Don of the NBA world, but on Thursday night's edition of the NBA on TNT, he may have picked a fight with the wrong crowd. Well, maybe not the wrong crowd, but the loudest, most vocal and severely-lacking-meat-in-their-diet crowd.

After viewing Steven Adams' perfect commercial for the Oklahoma Beef Council, in which he says that he “smashes” steaks all the time, Ernie Johnson asked “what do you smash, Chuck?” As you're well aware, Chuck smashes anything, because “you can't get this fat” by not smashing everything as Barkley describes in the video below. Moments after listing his favorite foods (all of them, basically), Kenny Smith, who checks in at 170 pounds, mentioned his love of meatless hamburgers. That gave Barkely an opportunity to take ..

LaVar Ball is now charging media outlets $3,500(!) to video LaMelo Ball’s high school games

PETRAS MALUKASLaVar Ball hasn't been shy when it comes to (over)charging big bucks for things relating to his Big Baller Brand. Case in point, the first-edition Lonzo Ball basketball sneakers that cost an absurd $495. But his latest money grab involving another one of his sons has even more people up in arms.
Media outlets wishing to video a pair of LaMelo Ball high school basketball games this weekend will need to fork over $3,500. Yep, that's not a typo. Check out this Ball(sy) email obtained by basketball writer Adam Zagoria:

The guy thinks his 17-year-old son's games should be treated like networks bidding for Super Bowl broadcast rights. Incredible.
Even more incredible? According to Zagoria, some outlets are actually going along with these ridiculous demands. What suckers.

Michael Beasley does the most Michael Beasley thing ever by wearing wrong shorts to game

If you were to look up the term “cerebral athlete,” let's just say you wouldn't find a picture of Michael Beasley. That being said, the often, um, spacey player managed to top himself during Thursday night's Lakers-Thunder game.

As Beasley went to check into the game, the Lakers forward took off his warmups and realized he had the wrong shorts on. Whoops. Beasley tried to play it off cool by jogging back to the locker room, but there's no playing off cool a blooper like that:

Beasley, once destined to be a star when he was the No. 2 pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, is playing 9.7 minutes per game this season. He eventually found his shorts and played nine minutes during L.A.'s 138-128 overtime victory.
To be fair, Beasley isn't the first NBA player this season to make a uniform gaffe. Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk man..

Everybody freak out, Danielle Kang and Maverick McNealy are a thing now

Every year from October to March, the world plunges into cuffing season—a five-month span when the weather gets cold, the PGA calendar slows to a trickle, and seemingly every available human on earth begins looking for that special someone to get caught up on Better Call Saul with. Enter LPGA quote factory Danielle Kang, who, despite her best efforts, revealed to Golf Channel on Thursday that she and Web.com up-and-comer Maverick McNealy are, indeed, a thing now. Go on, get it out of your system…
FacebookPinterestAfter closely analyzing McNealy's every move while mic'd up at the Great Exuma Classic earlier this week, Kang was asked to review his performance, to which she responded “He’s a dork. But he’s my dork.” Aw (x infinity).
The pair both live in Las Vegas and apparently met at The Summit Club. They've bonded over Kang's dislike of country music and McNealy's love of it, which has come in handy since Kang is currently playing with country duo Brice and S..
