The Case For New York City As Greatest City In The World
There was some rumor going around about a Space Jam sequel last week starring LeBron James. Now, I hated that movie.

The Greek Freak Goes Hunting For Blocks
Giannis Antetokounmpo only got credit for one block on this play, but a hometown scorer would have probably given him two. He barely got a finger on the first ball, but it's safe to assume that the Greek Freak's footsteps and flying limbs had something to do with Tony Wroten biffing it. ...

Klay Thompson Dunk Sends Kyle Singler Stumbling Into Crowd
There are better dunks and worse posterizations than this Thompson-Singler affair, but Singler's exit makes this fantastic. Despite his efforts to remain upright, he stumbles back for what feels like forever, until he runs into the cameraman. It's at this point that he gives in to momentum and just ...

J.R. Smith Pulls Down Vince Carter's Headband
J.R. Smith is back to his fucking-with-people's-accessories ways. Here we see J.R. pulling down Vince Carter's headband, likely trying to get it around his eyes so he can't see. Fortunately for Vince, he was the Greg Monroe of J.R.'s headband game, not Shawn Marion....

This Is Just A Terrible, Terrible Goal
If there is an anti-golazo, it's this. Witness, from France, one of the worst goals you'll see. On a penalty, the goalkeeper makes the initial save and as he does a sort of celebratory trot, he's bested by some downright sneaky english. ...

When Should Managers Pull Their Starting Pitchers?
"A Data-driven Method for In-game Decision Making in MLB" is easily the worst title of the eight Sloan paper finalists, which is a shame, given that it's actually an interesting application of machine learning that's directly related to one of the most important aspects of baseball game management. ...
