Here's Vanilla Ice Performing "Ice Ice Baby" At A Milwaukee Bucks Game
The Milwaukee Bucks threw 90s Night for the fans during last night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and it went about as you'd expect. Lots of denim, flannel, and the Bucks lost by 1o. Nothing to see here....
Goodbye (For Now), Aaron Craft
Wichita State is going to the Final Four after dispatching with Ohio State last night. We thought we'd put together a goodbye for Aaron Craft but soon realized he's only a junior and surely not going to enter the NBA draft so, whatever, we're still doing it anyway. So long, Aaron. See you next year....
Ohio State Hits Game-Winning Three-Pointer In Final Seconds To Advance To Elite Eight
For the second straight game in this NCAA tournament, the Ohio State Buckeyes needed a last-second shot to win as LaQuinton Ross drilled a three with two seconds remaining to down Arizona and advance to the Elite Eight....
Aaron Craft Drove Everyone Crazy Today
The shot was the shot, but what really made every person associated with college basketball go temporarily insane, was the charge Craft took with 1:41 left in the game. ...
Aaron Craft Hits Three-Pointer With 0.5 Seconds Remaining To Down Iowa State
Iowa State's upset dreams came to an end as Ohio State's Aaron Craft made penance for a series of missed free throws in the clutch and hit a near-buzzer-beating three-pointer to give the second-seeded Buckeyes a 78-75 win. ...
Here's Bo Ryan Giving Tracy Wolfson The Runaround During Halftime Interview
Something needs to be done about our expectations of the sideline interview. Not a single person with a functioning brain thinks they are worth a damn, yet they persist, making athletes worried, coaches angry and viewers uncomfortable. ...
Larry Sanders Gets Ejected, Gives Each Referee A Thumbs Up On Way Out
This is just tremendous. Sanders was ejected from the Bucks game against the Wizards after picking up two technical fouls. Before leaving the court, however, Larry handed out a trio of thumbs ups to the officials calling the game. ...
The Wizards Moved Broadcasters Off The Floor To Sell An Extra $1 Million Worth Of Seats
We noted over the weekend that the Wizards' broadcasters, both home and away, TV and radio, are no longer anywhere near the court. Gone from the scorer's table, where crews at virtually every other arena call the game from proximity, the TV crews now sit at the very tippy top of section 110. (They w...
Here's More Proof That Larry Sanders Is The NBA's Best Interior Defender
One of the best things to come out of this year's Sloan Sports Analytics Conference was Kirk Goldsberry's paper on interior defense, in which he details which defenders are the best and worst at lowering opponent field goal percentage on shots at the rim. Surprisingly, the paper pointed to little-...
Steve Buckhantz Couldn't Tell Whether That Game-Ending Shot Went In Because The Owners Moved Him To The Cheap Seats
We all had a good laugh when Washington Wizards play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz dusted off his patented "dagger!" call despite Trevor Ariza's (very nice looking) airball to end the Wizards' game on Wednesday night. The misplaced enthusiasm was funny but, as we noted at the time, you couldn't really...
Monta Ellis Wins Game With Ridiculous Buzzer-Beater, Immediately Exits Court
Steph Curry wasn't the only one doing what he was put on Earth to do last night. Monta Ellis, one of the league's most renowned chuckers, had himself a quintessential Monta Ellis game in Houston. He scored 27 points on 9-24 shooting and hit the crazy, game-winning buzzer-beater you see above. It's...
"The Dagger Has Been Retracted": Wizards Play-By-Play Man Calls Game-Winner That Wasn't
You can't really blame Steve Buckhantz for this one. From his seat (and from the first angle) it really did look like Trevor Ariza sealed an incredible Wizards comeback against the Pistons and a "Dagger!" was absolutely warranted. Unfortunately, after the first view of the shot there is the second...

Guy Who Ran Onto The Court During A Toronto Raptors Game Wearing "Bucket List" Shirt Has Super-Lame Bucket List
Last night, a fan interrupted the Knicks-Raptors game in Toronto—during the fourth quarter, when the teams was within two—by running out on to the court and circling around a bit. His foray was short lived, as you can see in the photo above, and we salute the quick work of security personnel at the ...
Score One For The Stat Nerds: Milwaukee Bucks Press Release Cites J.J. Redick's PER
The only trade of note to take place on the NBA's trade deadline day was the one that sent shooting guard J.J. Redick from the Orlando Magic to the Milwaukee Bucks. As is standard practice, the Bucks put out a triumphant, post-trade press release that includes all kinds of boring statistics and PR-...
Joe Johnson Makes Two Perfect Last-Second Shots In One Game
There are two types of great buzzer-beaters. The first kind is the end result of a well-executed inbounds play, one that involves screens and misdirection and ends with a shooter getting open just long enough to rise up for a clean shot at the rim. (See: LeBron James saving Cleveland's season in G...
