D'Angelo Russell Is College Basketball's Smoothest Assassin
The play above happened early in the first half of last week's game between Ohio State and Iowa.

The Taxpayer Extortion Playbook: How To Ignore The NFL Playoffs Today

Lefty Spinning Bounce Passes Are The Best Bounce Passes
A spinning lefty bounce pass to a guy who didn't even seem to be open? Usually we only see those from Manu Ginobili, but Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell shows he has a little game, too.
