Shawn Marion's Ready To Go Whenever, Coach
Shawn Marion’s on the Cleveland Cavaliers. This might be news to anyone watching the playoffs, since the 37-year-old has logged 25 total minutes in the postseason, none of those coming in the Finals. Since the Cavs’ depth is so shallow, a new Brian Windhorst report asks, why not Marion?...
Nobody Hits Harder Than Giancarlo Stanton
It’s always fun when an advanced baseball statistic definitively backs up what you see on the field. For example, if you were to watch a few clips of hulking outfielder Giancarlo Stanton mashing taters out of the ballparks of America, you might come away from the experience thinking that nobody else...
Stephen A. Smith Blames WWC Goal On "Not Wanting To Mess Up Their Hair"
It’s tiresome to monitor ESPN blowhard and domestic violence apologist Stephen A. Smith’s daily acts of polluting the Worldwide Leader’s airwaves with his Cro-Magnon attitudes, but here we are. While inexplicably serving on SportsCenter duty last night, SAS cracked wise on Norway’s gorgeous free kic...
Who Was Andre Iguodala Trolling Last Night?
Andre Iguodala played a hell of a game last night, scoring 22 points as a key component of the Warriors’ deadly small-ball unit. He also sprinkled some not-so-subtle trolling into his performance late in the third quarter....
You Can Tell J.R. Smith's Mood By The Speed Of His Hoverboard
J.R. Smith got his new toy on Thursday. (It was a gift from Jamie Foxx. Seriously.) So he just had to roll into the arena on it. Luckily for us, that meant he had to roll out too....
Are The Warriors Just Too Deep For The Cavs? (Probably)
Even before Kyrie Irving was injured, the Cavaliers bench more closely resembled a basketball old folks home than something that could actually help a team in 2015. Kendrick Perkins? Brendan Haywood? Shawn Marion? Mike Miller? I’m not even sure who Joe Harris is....
Cleveland Weatherman Might Just Be Losing It, You Guys
Fresh off his bizarre antics a few days ago, WEWS chief meteorologist Mark Johnson turned his Cavaliers fandom up another notch on tonight’s late local news, as the ABC station’s weatherman brought a weed-whacker and a concrete block onto the set with him in reaction to tonight’s Cleveland loss. ...
Watch "Nature Boy" Ric Flair Attempt To Pump Up The Cleveland Crowd
On a day when we mourn the death of one of Ric Flair’s biggest rivals, the “Nature Boy” himself took the court during a first-half time out to try and pump up the crowd at Cleveland’s arena. He still has it... some of it. “WOOO!” ...
LeBron Cracks Head Open, Stays In Game
Despite falling into a camera and busting his head open, LeBron James managed to stay in tonight’s game. James’s head clearly sported some lacerations, but apparently owing to NBA rules he had no choice but to remain in the game and shoot his free throws....
Hey, Look: It's LeBron's Dick! (NSFW, Probably)
It sure appears ABC caught LeBron James making an adjustment just before tipoff of tonight’s Game 4:...
Shaquille O'Neal Is A 9/11 Truther, According To His Own Website
TNT host Shaquille O’Neal regularly delights audiences with his “Shaqtin’ A Fool” segment, but the Inside the NBA personality is probably due for a taste of his own medicine after revealing to the world this evening that he is a 9/11 truther....
LeBron Has Been A Damned Statistical Marvel In The Finals
There’s a way to look at Steph Curry’s stat line as an artifact of not just box score accounting, but his style. If you look closely, there are traces of the visceral experience of watching Steph double axel around a screen and fire up a three from the hip in arcane statistical whimsy, like fast bre...
Norway's Maren Mjelde Strokes An Absolutely Perfect Free Kick
Mmm, the distance, the chip, the spin—this is just superb....
Ruben Amaro Jr.: How Bad A GM Do You Think I Am?
Last night, CSN Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reported that the Mariners are “checking in” on speedy Phillies outfielder Ben Revere. This makes sense: Revere has been squeezed out of his natural left-field role, and despite a down year, is still miles better than what Seattle has been getting from it...
Dingy Goon Matthew Dellawhatever Is Giving Up Coffee Before Games
After being hospitalized for dehydration when Game 3 ended, War Boy with hair Matthew Dellavedova says he’ll skip his usual tradition of having coffee before a game and during halftime, because he thinks it might be affecting his on-court performance....
This Kellen Winslow Jr./Antonio Cromartie Twitter Beef Is Getting Good
On Tuesday, Jets CB Antonio Cromartie played reporter and actually hit teammate Dee Milliner with a tough question, referencing Milliner being “on the roster bubble.” That didn’t sit well with former Jets TE Kellen Winslow Jr., who was teammates with Cromartie in New York for one season....
These Filipino Divers Gave It Their Best Shots, And Failed Spectacularly
Salute Filipino divers John David Pahoyo and John Elmerson Fabriga, because even with no experience and little support, the two athletes still competed in this year’s Southeast Asian Games. Sure, they were awful, but... well, I don’t know where I’m going with this. It’s not their faults, though....
Puig Back
Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig returned to game action last week after missing more than a month of the season due to a bum hamstring, and it is real nice to have him back, because he’s been playing just like his old self....
NRL Star Unleashes Bloodcurdling Scream After Arm Broken On Live TV
Ben Ross made his name in Australia’s NRL as one of rugby league’s toughest dudes. That makes watching his arm get snapped in half during an arm wrestling match Thursday night—broadcast live Down Under on Nine Network....
Report: Malcolm Butler Benched For Arriving Late To Voluntary Practice
The last time Malcolm Butler was in the news, it was because he was busy sealing a Super Bowl win for the Patriots with an incredible interception. But past accomplishments don’t earn you any leeway in Bill Belichick’s world. ...
