The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is An Antelope Tackling A Giraffe
David toppled Goliath in the form of this antelope taking down a long-necked victim desperately trying to avoid it at a Netherlands zoo. The gritty attacker showed no mercy, even as helpless zoo visitors looked on in disbelief....

Draymond Green Finally Gets T-Shirt Revenge On LeBron, Gets Owned Anyway [Update]
The last time the Warriors won a title (the year before they blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals), Draymond Green got tipsy at the team’s victory parade in Oakland. He mocked the Cleveland Cavaliers by rapping “Cavaliers? Nope. We won? Yupp. They suck? Yupp. We here? Yupp. They not? Nooope.”...

The Clippers Are Exploring A Possible Move To A New Arena In Inglewood [Update]
Steve Ballmer, the recently woke owner of the Clippers, has been trying to get his team out of the arena that they share with the Lakers for some time. He bought the Clippers during the summer of 2014, and every year since then, he’s talked about the possibility of leaving with a rising sense of urg...
Columnist: What This Nation Needs Is For More Sports Teams To Be Nice To Donald Trump<em></em>
Maybe you have heard that some or all of the Golden State Warriors may decline an invitation to celebrate their NBA championship at Donald Trump’s White House, if Donald Trump chooses to invite them, which he has not yet. Maybe you have also heard that yesterday morning, an angry man with Bernie San...
Charming Old Man Defeats Devin Harris In Knockout Game
Devin Harris might be a career 80 percent free-throw shooter, but that didn’t mean diddly once this game of knockout shifted to half-court chucking. An older man who appears to be a staffer at the Mavs Hoop Camp took Harris out with a remarkable heave. Mild fleeing and CPR ensued....
Rabid Raccoon Is No Match For Fearless Maine Woman
Sometimes, I’ll lay awake at night and dream of the day I can write a lede as chilling as the one Alex Acquisto has written for the Bangor Daily News:...
Steph Curry Doesn't Seem Like He Wants To Go To The White House
Earlier this week, irresponsible and unfounded reporting claimed the Golden State Warriors will not be visiting the White House following their NBA Finals victory. That story was false; there’s still good reason to think that the team, or at least a few key members, might skip out on the tradition....
Jerry West Leaving Warriors For Consultant Role With Clippers
Scarcely two days since the Golden State Warriors won the second title in three years, Jerry West is leaving the team to become a special consultant to the Los Angeles Clippers....
White Sox Announcer Rejects Fried Pickle
As the Chicago White Sox were beating the hell out of the Baltimore Orioles—a bullshit team favored by Deadspin staffer Laura Wagner and Gizmodo Media Special Projects Desk deputy editor Tom Scocca—play-by-play man Jason Benetti offered a fried pickle to color man Steve Stone, who refused to enjoy i...

Report: Kings Considering Dumb Trade To Move Up In The Draft
The Sacramento Kings—who won 32 games and traded their franchise center for what essentially amounts to a pair of rookies—face a crucial summer. The team will be very bad next year, although they have a pair of first-round picks in this year’s draft to develop. Thanks to a disastrous trade with Phil...
Kobe Bryant Is Somewhat Responsible For The Low-Top Basketball Sneaker Trend
All of the best-known basketball sneakers were high-tops. Every sneaker spokesman from Chuck Taylor to Michael Jordan to Allen Iverson to LeBron James had, until recently, worn signature high-tops....
Read Receipts Are Good
Read receipts, the small flags that pop up below texts to signal to the person texting you that you’ve read their message, are the most unfairly maligned technological innovation of our age. ...
Everest's Most Iconic Pitch, The Hillary Step, Is Gone
Climbing Mt. Everest is an arduous grind that requires months of training and the ability to function at the most inhospitable elevations our planet has to offer, but the suite of technical challenges it presents are not as difficult as nearby peaks of comparable height. It’s not, well, a hike exact...
David Stern Brags About All He's "Done ... For People Of Color"
Former NBA commissioner David Stern is clearly still extremely mad about Real Sports host Bryant Gumbel calling Stern “some kind of modern plantation overseer” in 2011. He appeared on reporter Nunyo Demasio’s podcast this week—a good get for Demasio!—and let fly against Gumbel during the very lengt...
White Sox Batter Attempts To Reach Base Using Novel Technique
Why the Chicago White Sox claimed Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Alen Hanson off waivers last week and then added him to their roster remains unclear. Hanson, 24, hit .205/.239/.261 in parts of two seasons in the National League; his minor-league record doesn’t suggest he has much to offer at the plat...

Dennis Rodman Is Back In North Korea For Some Reason
Former Jordan sidekick Dennis Rodman, last seen palling around with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and offering some quarter-baked thoughts about protestors, is back doing what he does best, which is wedging himself back into the spotlight in the most moronic way possible. Rodman has visited Nort...
Iman Shumpert Makes Me Real Sad
Exactly midway through the second quarter, well before Game 5 had drifted out to a place beyond hope, LeBron kicked the ball out for a nice open three, as LeBron likes to do. The pass might’ve been a few inches low, but still left this teammate plenty of time to beat Kevin Durant’s scrambling closeo...
