John Wall Hurtles Five Rows Deep To Save Loose Ball

John Wall is probably the fastest player in the NBA. Usually he uses this speed to terrify defenses and make opponents look like fools as he stops on a dime for a pull-up jumper, but tonight it was paying customers that saw him flying towards them. Good hustle John, but be careful out there. ...

It is not baseball where a foul-tipped fastball can smoke you in the face and do serious damage, but you've still got to pay attention when you're sitting in the first couple of rows at a basketball game, especially when Lance Stephenson is on the court.

You might be tempted to call E'Twaun Moore's game-winning three the highlight of last night's contest between the Thunder and Bulls, but I submit that the night's truly transcendent moment occurred on the ensuing possession, when a portly Bulls fan lost all notion of etiquette and got himself a big ...
