Andre Iguodala Gets A Big Block, Finishes The Break With A Dunk
This one of just a handful of impressive plays that Andre Iguodala had during yesterday's Trailblazers-Nuggets game. It starts with him climbing the ladder to reject J.J. Hickson at the rim, and it ends with him receiving a nifty drop-off pass from Ty Lawson before throwing down a dunk. ...
Peyton Manning Pulled A Pretty Good Prank On Eric Decker
Those Manning boys sure are having a good time in Durham, aren't they? Eli's over here causing all kinds of mischief with Chris Mortensen's hair, and now we have big brother Peyton pulling a prank on one of his best wide receivers....
Elvis Dumervil Signs With The Ravens
Remember when the Ravens kept losing player after player after savior? Well, after all that, they just came across a nice, crisp 20-dollar bill on the sidewalk....
Kenneth Faried And JaVale McGee Have A Block Party
It's tough to decide which block is more impressive. Kenneth Faried meeting Thaddues Young at the top of the square for a clean, devastating block is cool, but JaVale McGee just straight up snatching a hook shot out of the sky is also cool, and kind of hilarious. Let's call it a push....
The Nuggets Don't Have A Star Player, But They Don't Need One
With last night's road victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder—a win that came on the second leg of back-to-back games—the Denver Nuggets quietly extended their win streak to 13. The Miami Heat, of course, have reached 23 straight wins with supernatural ease, and are understandably the bigger NBA...
The Bulls Got Screwed By A Correct Call
With 5.7 seconds left, down one in an OT thriller against the Nuggets (that no one was watching because Miami-Boston was mid-climax), the Bulls inbounded to Marco Belinelli. Belinelli drove left and put up a fallaway jumper that looked just short—but in swooped Joakim Noah to tip it in, and seemingl...
JaVale McGee Throws Down Over Joakim Noah
This happens so fast, I'm not even sure JaVale knows what he did. I am sure that Noah clearly wants nothing to do with McGee and just tries to forearm him out of the way....
The Play-By-Play Of Elvis Dumervil's Contract Mishap Sounds Pretty Agonizing
Yesterday, it appeared that Elvis Dumervil's failed contract negotiation with the Broncos was thwarted by a fax machine, a piece of technology rendered obsolete some 11 or 12 years ago by the advent of .pdf documents and email. It seemed like Dumervil was just another victim of the NFL's hard-assed ...
Elvis Dumervil Agreed To Stay With The Broncos, But His Contract Wasn't Faxed In Time
Well, this is a mess. The Broncos were in talks with defensive end Elvis Dumervil to take a pay cut to stay with the team, and it came down to the wire. With the deadline at 4:00 EDT, the sides reached an agreement in principle at 3:25. Dumervil didn't fax the contract until 4:07. Dumervil is now a ...
Broncos Safety Arrested In Vegas For Allegedly Cheating At Craps
Denver's Quinton Carter faces a suspension, fines, even prison time, after trying to cheat a crappy off-strip Vegas casino out of $15 worth of chips. Ocean's Eleven this is not....
Broncos Sign Wes Welker
It's being reported by just about everybody on Twitter that Wes Welker, after six seasons in New England, has signed a two-year deal to join the Broncos. He'll join a receiving corps that includes Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas, which, jesus....
JaVale McGee Blocks Shot, Pretends To Sign Ball
Here's JaVale McGee's latest addition to his growing repertoire of awesome celebrations. We've seen the fingerstache and the finger-lickin'-good three-point celebration, and now we have this. After blocking a Matt Barnes layup attempt in the third quarter of last night's Clippers-Nuggets game, McG...
Do Not Lecture JaVale McGee On The Differences Between The Atmosphere And The Stratosphere
In the video above, you will see JaVale McGee throw down a very nice alley-oop during last night's Nuggets-Kings game. McGee enjoyed the play so much that he sent out the following celebratory tweet, in his usual house style:...
JaVale McGee Spikes A Shot Into The Crowd, Preens, Throws Down Alley-Oop
Some advice for Anthony Tolliver: Next time, just forgo the pump fake and shoot the ball over Wilson Chandler. Chandler may have gotten a hand in your face and disrupted your shot, but he probably wouldn't have infantilized you with a vicious volleyball-spike, mean mugged at the crowd until he got...
Here's JaVale McGee Dancing In A Predator Mask
After this and this, and surely after this, we allowed ourselves to hope that, maybe, the Internet meme of the Harlem Shake would quickly fade and then die, because fuck the fake Harlem Shake and everyone who condones its existence....
Andre Iguodala Doesn't Like Clubs Because They Are Too Damn Loud
GQ just posted an interview with Nuggets guard Andre Iguodala that includes a few entertaining insights. Iguodala talks about the "chill" spot he retreats to for hours at a time where he can "watch SportsCenter and text people and just relax," and he also tells us that Deadspin favorite JaVale McGe...
Dwight Howard's Shortcomings Were On Full Display Last Night
Dwight Howard finished last night's Lakers-Nuggets game with 15 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocked shots. That is a perfectly acceptable stat line, and it's the kind of line that Howard has been putting up all year. But last night's game also featured a collection of moments that served as remi...
When JaVale McGee Was 18, He Wore A Grill Made Of Aluminum Foil
First off, JaVale looks about 13 here. But he was 18, according to J-Mac himself when he posted the photo to his Instagram yesterday (throwback Thursday!). He was either about to start college, or was already Nevada's starting center. A little too old (and recent—just seven years ago) to be living t...
Javale McGee Throws Down Three-Quarter-Court Alley-Oop
Is it a dunk? Is it just a really emphatic layup? It doesn't matter. It's Javale and that's all that ever matters....
