The article is nuts; it talks about Justin Bieber’s increasing devotion to his religious faith and how that may be the reason for him to cancel the remaining dates of his worldwide concert tour, and the pastor, a dude named...

The Knicks re-signed him so it must have been good! Ron Baker's flowing locks, pesky defense and aight jump shot endeared the undrafted free agent out of Wichita State to the New York fanbase pretty quickly. Like, at first, it was more of a joke thing. We were asking ourselves who the hell is this scrawny little undrafted dude?? Why does he play in the NBA?? That was, however, until he...
