Stephen Curry’s multiple-record-breaking series of three pointers tonight against the Thunder sent the Warriors out of Oklahoma City with a win they had absolutely no business taking.

Why FIFA's Unambitious New President Might Be Good News For Reform

Kobe Bryant Makes Another Fan Look Like An Awkward Schmuck

Kobe Bryant has been a kindler and gentler version of himself during his farewell season, and it’s been a little hard to understand how Kobe could suddenly stop being a vicious, hypercompetitive maniac. I’ve developed a groundbreaking new theory, though, that explains how Kobe’s been able to maintai...

Holy Smokes, Anthony Davis Just Had The Game Of The Season

Thank God the Pistons kept today’s game against the Pelicans close enough to force Anthony Davis to stay in until the end, because he put forth the best game anyone’s had all NBA season.

Danny Green Gets Deked By Chris Paul <i>And</i> Dunked On By DeAndre Jordan In One Play

Probably nothing. That probably does not make Da...

Robin van Persie Singing R. Kelly In His Luxurious Van Is What The Good Life Looks Like

Here’s Robin van Persie, proving that the tradition of tunelessly belting out your favorite songs while riding along in cars is a phenomenon that spans the globe.
