Andrew Bynum On Pulling Down 30 Boards: "I Shot The Ball Like Shit, Man"
Lakers center Andrew Bynum is not interested in your accolades regarding his 30-rebound game tonight, joining Wilt, Kareem, George Mikan, and Elgin Baylor as the only Lakers to accomplish such a feat. No, he'd rather focus on his poor 7-for-20 effort from the floor....

Just Three More Months Until <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em>, Folks
It always seems like the summer movie season begins earlier every year, but it doesn't, not really. The unofficial beginning in 2012 is May 4, when The Avengers—a movie that's so big, apparently, that it turned massive tentpole films like Iron Man 2 and Thor into, essentially, prequels—opens wide, f...
Vince Carter Airballed A Finger-Roll Last Night
At first, the best part of this clip is how the Kings pretty much allow Carter to traipse down the lane for what should have been one of his signature dunks. Not too long ago, Carter would have obliged by giving all of us something to marvel at. But he's 35 now, and it must be harder and harder for...

Do You Like Self-Conscious Scary Movies? <em>The Cabin In The Woods</em>, Reviewed.
Sixteen years ago, I saw Scream for the first time. I loved it.

By pointing out all the clichés of horror movies, Scre...

Carmelo Anthony And The Promise Of Hero Ball
It's April, and Carmelo Anthony owns New York again. How could he not, after Anthony scored 43 points, including threes for the equalizer in regulation and the winner in overtime, and the Knicks absolutely stole a game from a possible playoff opponent in the Bulls? The love-in has begun, and the n...

Someone Should Just Blow Up The Orlando Magic At This Point
In the ongoing Dwight Howard-Stan Van Gundy bitchfest, there is only one true solution: just get rid of everyone. Trade Howard. Fire Van Gundy and general manager Otis Smith. Then sell the team. Until then Orlando will have a superstar who does not want to be there being coached by a coach who does...

Your '90s High School Movie Cast Power Rankings
American Reunion comes out today, and I'll confess to liking it a bit more than Grierson does. I agree that these characters aren't close to interesting enough to justify four movies, but I can't help but admire the simply, ingenious premise: Just turn it into a high school reunion. It's a bit baffl...
