Welcome to another week of B-Sides, where we take a look at stuff you might have missed in the NBA that made us happy this week. No, not that the Grizzlies lost to the Hornets by 61 points. And no, not Dwight Howard having 32 points and 30 rebounds in a single game in the year 2018, or LeBron James, in year 15, posting a 35-point, 17-assist, zero turnover game.
NBA B-Sides: Of course Lorde and Steven Adams are best friends
Plus, Klay Thompson’s extremely chill magazine photoshoot and much more you might have missed this week.
No, we are here to talk about the wacky and lovable side of the NBA that keeps us coming back day after day. Here’s what I loved this week.
1. Lorde hanging out with Steven Adams and Andre Roberson is more perfect than I can handle
Lorde is now an NBA fan who also refers to Steven Adams as her favorite giant. When musicians chill with NBA stars, like Paramore singing at Steph Curry’s birthday party and Lorde hanging out with these two, I’m unable to contain my excitement. I’m never prepared for the crossover.
It gets better, too.
2. Klay Thompson’s SLAM photoshoot is my forever mood
SLAM put Thompson on the cover of their latest online issue, and it’s clear Thompson may be the most B-Sides player of all-time. This entire photo shoot was done at his house in the Bay, and it’s so Thompson it hurts.
I highly suggest you check out the entire story here.
3. Kevin Love scooting on his back during a game
Watch closely. What on Earth is going on here?!
It created Love + Air Bud content though and I am happy about that.
4. Jrue Holiday and his daughter are adorable
CUTENESS ALERT. IT’S TOO MUCH.
Considering the health issues that endangered Holiday’s daughter and wife, soccer star Lauren Holiday, it’s great to see them happy.
5. Jimmy Butler wore sweats with a suit jacket on the sidelines
I have no idea how Butler pulled this off but he did. Incredible.
6. The Sixers messing with sideline reporter Molly Sullivan
Who is your favorite 76er in this video? The answer should be Ben Simmons.
7. These Black Panther Dame 4s
I love these so much. Wakanda Forever.
8. Lonzo Ball is ... dancing?
I have no words for this. None. You’ll have to see it for yourself.
My favorite James Harden photo of the week
I can’t believe we’re this far into the season and Harden has delivered a quality photo every single week. That’s why he’s the real MVP.
