Hassan Whiteside: Alex Len Mad "Because I Just Kept Dunking On Him"
Who knew the Heat and Suns loathed each other so much? Monday night's game was chippy—Markieff Morris flagrantly fouled former teammate Goran Dragic, and a few minutes later, Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len wrestled on the court.

Robert Flores To Nick Young: There's A 70% Chance You'll Miss

This Is The Worst Shot I've Ever Seen
The above GIF features one of the 400 or so best basketball players in a world earnestly attempting to make a shot—I think—in a real live basketball game that counted in the standings and everything. It went about 20 feet too high, 20 feet too deep, and 20 feet too wide, but at least Alexey Shved is...

Hulk Can Score Rocket Goals With Either Foot

An estimated 7,000 Feyenoord fans made their way to Rome today for the Europa League match against Roma, according to the BBC, and some of them came just to make trouble.

Mario Balotelli Does Selfish, Swaggy Thing, Wins Game For Liverpool
Liverpool were hosting Turkish side Beşiktaş in the European Soccer NIT today, and it was scoreless until Liverpool young cock Jordon Ibe was tripped up in the box in the 85th minute. Penalty!
