  • Complex rolls out its list of the 50 Dirtiest Players in Sports History, and you’ll never guess which Brooklyn Nets player makes the list.

  • A Mikhail Prokhorov hotel party was interrupted by a fire, sending hordes of “attractive 20-something girls” into the snow.

  • The Brooklyn Nets are getting a new x-ray room at Barclays Center courtesy of New York Imaging.
