Goddamn, Vince Carter's Still Got It
Without context, this slam from Vince Carter is nothing too special. The highlight itself likely wouldn’t even crack the Top 100 of VC’s 725 career throwdowns. But the fact that he’s still doing this after two decades of NBA basketball is something incredible to behold....
Somehow, Russell Westbrook's Ankle Did Not Instantly Turn To Crab Meat After This Fall

Army Idiots Pranked Air Force By Jamming Their Live Mascots Into Crates
Before last Saturday’s Air Force-Army college football game, two dopey West Point cadets decided to prank their rivals by stealing their live mascots, which are falcons.

Jayson Tatum Appears To Have Contracted Kobe Brain
This summer, Jayson Tatum worked out a bunch with Kobe Bryant, who has made his admiration for the Celtics’ young star well known.

Jamal Murray Made Some Celtics Salty By Shamelessly Gunning For 50
Celtics-Nuggets was very, very fun. Kyrie Irving was cooking. Jamal Murray was cooking. No one else really had it, and so the game became a cook-off between two sublime shot-makers.
