Kyrie Irving Drops 55 Points, Hits Game-Winning Walk-Up Three
Maybe the Cavaliers are the pretty good team we all thought they would be and not actually doomed? Since LeBron James returned from his injury two weeks ago he has looked like the LeBron we knew—and not the broken down, maybe past his prime LeBron we'd seen previously this season—in leading the Ca...
D-League Teammates Ejected For Fighting Each Other [Update]
The Iowa Energy's Kalin Lucas and Jarnell Stokes got into a nice little brawl on their bench during a third-quarter timeout last night, having to be pulled apart and getting ejected from the game....
What The Hell Did Stephen Curry Just Do With This Pass?
The headline isn't an attempt at hyperbole but a legitimate question. I've watched this on replay four or five times now and I still can't figure out how Steph Curry smoothly pulled this off. I'm sitting on my couch trying to swing an imaginary ball from my left hand to my right and then over my s...
Jamal Crawford Turns Sure Turnover Into Behind-The-Back Assist
Jamal Crawford had a Jamal Crawford game tonight, dropping 21 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter on steady diet of three-pointers as he led the Clippers from eight points down to a 102-98 win over the Nuggets. But his most amazing play wasn't a basket, but this crazy save and assist to Matt Ba...
OKC Broadcasters Shill For Lotto, Your Family Not Dying From Tornadoes
This is just the worst deal, man. Worst of all the deals. Oklahoma City's broadcast team took a moment during the third quarter of tonight's Thunder-Timberwolves game to shill for a scam in which—for a limited time!—Oklahomans who purchase a Mega Millions lottery ticket will be rewarded with ... a...
I Can't Stop Watching John Wall Chop The Nuggets With This Slick Pass
John Wall was at his very best last night in Denver: hanging 19 points and 16 assists on the Nuggets, snatching the endgame away with a flurry of buckets and assists, doing that John Wall thing where the court and the basket and all the players start to seem like a big circuitboard and the ball is...

LeBron Is Starting To Look Like His Old Self Again
LeBron James has been back in the Cavaliers' lineup for seven games since taking an eight-game hiatus to rest his ailing knee and back. He's taken the team on a six-game winning streak since coming back, with the most impressive win of the streak coming yesterday against a desperate, relatively full...
Frank Beamer Apparently Terrifies Children
This poor little girl sitting next to Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer is sobbing uncontrollably, possibly because she has been seated next to Frank Beamer. Never forget:...

Dennis Scott's Young Son Socked Shaq In The Face
I somehow missed this Thursday night, but it's too funny to let pass by. That's Dennis Scott's son, Dennis III, socking Shaq in the face on the set of Inside the NBA. Scott and Shaq played together in Orlando for four seasons and I assume are friendly, but Dennis III hit Shaq a little bit harder tha...
Klay Thompson's Third Quarter In Sight And Sound
What Klay Thompson did during the third quarter last night boggles the mind. Thirty-seven points on 13-13 shooting, 9-9 from three? A few of the shots—the one from five feet behind the three-point line and the one where he just sorta flung it up while covered in the corner come to mind—would have ...
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. That's Buckeyes freshman guard D'Angelo Russell throwing a near-incomprehensible bounce pass, a corkscrew of a ball that was thrown not only from a crazy angle, but with a wild amount of foresight. Loo...

Celtics Beat Trail Blazers On Sloppiest Game-Winner Of The Year
Down two to the Trail Blazers with under 10 seconds remaining, the Celtics were relying upon Jared Sullinger to get them a crucial basket. That should tell you all you need to know about how good they are, that Brad Stevens looked up and down his bench for his best option and settled upon Sullinger....
Three Players Ejected After Punches Thrown In Auburn-Alabama Fight
Alabama's Breanna Hayden and Meoshonti Knight and Auburn's Hasina Muhammad all earned ejections during the first half of the Crimson Tide-Tigers game in Tuscaloosa tonight after a fight that featured a few punches and one tumbling referee....
Draymond Green Is A Taunting Goon, And He's My Favorite NBA Player
A lot of Golden State Warriors players are goons. Andrew Bogut is a goon. David Lee is a goon. Draymond Green is a goon. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson might run the most beautiful offense in the league, but the Warriors' goonery is an important component of their league-leading defense. But they...
