It’s time for D-Wade to ‘pass the torch’
Kevin Durant and Dwayne Wade are no strangers to these cyber-squabbles, with Durant telling CineSport that former teammate James Harden should have been in Sports Illustrated’s Top 10 players list instead of Wade.

Oh, Hobby Lobby
Oklahoma-based store ownership has loudly proclaimed anti-support for ladies’ healthcare (specific birth control methods) and would not support a female’s right to choose what happens to her own body (abortion and surrounding issues) because of reasons credited to religion.

Congrats, wanda (belated)
We’re giddy for Jackson and OKCPS for immortalizing such a prodigious musical figure. But really, you’re just now inducting Wanda freaking Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly? What took so long?
