How To Sneak Into A Baseball Game With Nothing More Than A Baby Bottle
The rest of this, I could take or leave. But there are important life lessons to be gleaned from that first bit—namely that looking purposeful, entitled, and a little bit harried will open many doors for you. (That's how Nick Young snuck into the NBA, isn't it?)...

Kyle Lowry Abuses Deron Williams, Gets His Signature Highlight
You wouldn't be blamed for not knowing a whole lot about Kyle Lowry before this year. He's a 28-year-old point guard who's averaged 11 points and five assists per game throughout his career, and who has toiled away in relative obscurity in Memphis, Houston, and now Toronto. This year, he became the ...
Sprinkler-Turned-Geyser Delays Minor League Baseball Game
This is one of those things that I feel like only ever happens at minor league baseball games. During today's game between the Class-A Fort Wayne TinCaps and the Great Lakes Loons, TinCaps first baseman Fernando Perez kicked a sprinkler head while pursuing a foul ball down the right-field line. Chao...

Big Al And The Bobcats Deserved More Than What They Got
For a few short minutes during the Bobcats' Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat, Al Jefferson did his thing.

Korean Baseball Player Way Too Eager To Get To Home Plate

What Happens If The Clippers Win The NBA Title?
Before we hit up the Funbag, two things. First off, I wrote a short story called THE ROVER that you can buy here for a dollar. You can also borrow it for free with Amazon Prime. But for real, it's only a buck. You cheap old miser. GIVE ME MY DOLLAR, GOD DAMMIT....
The NBA Player No One Would Pass To
Early this season, we ran an item called "The NBA Players No One Will Pass To." It used newly accessible SportVU motion-tracking data to determine who among all the NBA players receives the ball the least. It was based on just a few weeks' worth of data, but ended up being representative. In short: ...
For Real Though, We Need To Talk About Thomas Robinson's Block
I, like most basketball fans, have been thinking about last night's game between the Rockets and Blazers pretty much all day. But out of all the amazing shit that happened in that game—Wes Matthews torpedoing the ball and the win out of Patrick Beverley's hands; that brief stretch when Nic Batum, D...
Donald Sterling Thinks He Owns His Players; He's Not Alone
Whatever else you say about Donald Sterling, give him this: the man has defeated criticism. There is no way to say anything about this spectacular American grotesque that doesn't amount to congratulating anyone who happens to be less racist than he is for being less racist than Donald Sterling. So, ...
José Abreu Is The Game's Best Old-Fashioned Slugger
José Abreu had himself a damn weekend. On Friday night, he clubbed two home runs—including a walk-off grand slam that nearly led to old bastard Hawk Harrelson having an on-air joy-aneurysm—and drove in six runs against the Tampa Bay Rays. On Sunday, he came away with two more hits and four more RBI,...
