Harrison Barnes Is Still Very Good At Dunking
We haven't really heard much from Harrison Barnes ever since he opened the season with a vicious posterization of Nikola Pekovic. But last night Barnes played the game of his career, scoring 24 points and grabbing six rebounds while playing as an undersized power forward. He also threw down this sp...
Stephen Curry Finally Makes His Playoff Splash
Last night's Warriors-Nuggets game ended the way you'd expect it to end when the Nuggets play atrocious defense and the Warriors shoot somewhere around 125 percent from the floor. But the bigger factor–bless his heart and his shaky ankles–was Stephen Curry finally getting a chance to show us what he...
The Knicks Smother The Celtics Into A Historically Bad Second Half
This one looked like the last one. The Celtics came out strong in Game 2, as they did in Game 1. Then, at halftime something happened.

The New College Football Playoff Thumbs Its Nose At The NCAA

This comes just five months after Brown was shitcanned by the Lakers five game...
No Game Today
In 1928, Buster Keaton signed a contract with MGM, a move he later called "the worst mistake of my life." His first movie for the studio was also the last good one he ever made. "The Cameraman" is memorable for a few scenes, notably this one at Yankee Stadium. And just so you know, Buster was such a...

LeBron James Makes His Teammates Do Pushups
Perhaps Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen thought LeBron was joking when he told them they would be doing pushups if they lost a shooting competition to him. He was not joking. LeBron's drill-sergeant cadence could use a little work, though. There's not nearly enough spittle flying here. ...
Jamal Crawford Briefly Turned Last Night's Game Into An And 1 Mixtape
Before Chris Paul sent home his miraculous, game-winning bank shot, the best thing about last night's Grizzlies-Clippers game was Jamal Crawford repeatedly putting the entire Grizzlies defense on ice skates. ...
