Blake Griffin Gets Way Up There For A Huge Putback Dunk

With Celtics Losing Big, Fans Cheer For Tupac Lookalike In Stands

The Celtics were thoroughly drubbed by the Warriors tonight, but Boston fans found one thing to cheer for. During a break where the Celts were down by 30, the Jumbotron showed a man wearing his bandana like Tupac, and fans began to chant for him....

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 ...

Jermaine O'Neal Makes Game-Saving Block, Is Very Pleased With Himself

You can give Steph Curry the credit for last night's Warriors' victory if you want to—he did tie the game with a preposterous layup at the end of regulation before scoring seven points in OT, after all—but I prefer to think that this game belonged to old-ass Jermaine O'Neal....

Marreese Speights Dominates: The Spectacle Of The Fattish NBA Gunner

About halfway through the second quarter last night, Marreese Speights missed a step-back three. It was the first shot he'd missed all night, and it seemed to be off more because Speights got tired from bludgeoning the 76ers with their own dismembered arms and legs than because of anything Philadel...

The Reason To Love Joakim Noah, In One Meaningless Play

Here's a play from the end of of last night's Bulls-Warriors game that's really nothing special at all. The game itself wasn't all that interesting—the ever-overmatched Bulls hung around for as long as they could, scrapping out points like a mid-major college team, before eventually being overwhelm...

Selfies, Guys!

"David Lee, Bodied By Big Dick Baby"

I'm trying real hard to come up with possible words Bob Fitzgerald, the Warriors play-by-play man for CSN Bay Area, could have said instead of "Big Dick Baby" and I'm coming up short. ...

Marquette's Deonte Burton Ruined Someone With A Dunk

Deonte Burton—of Marquette, not Nevada—absolutely wrecked Samford's Emeka Ikezu on this slam from yesterday's game. Watching it from the floor is delightful....

Minnesota Was <i>This</i> Close To Winning The Texas Bowl

Ohhhh. Syracuse wins. ...

Andre Iguodala Almost Made The Coolest Play Of The Year

The box score will tell you that Andre Iguodala's return to the Warriors last night was uneventful. Iggy came back from injury to play just 17 minutes and score two points while shooting 1-of-4 from the field. The box score will not tell you that he came this close to bringing the damn house down....

No Team Can Mount A Comeback Quite Like The Warriors Can

The Golden State Warriors found themselves down 27 points to the Toronto Raptors with 9:20 left in the third quarter last night. They ended up winning the game by nine points, because when the Warriors decide to go nuclear, there is no stopping them....

BC's Andre Williams Runs Like He's Got A Super Mario Invincibility Star

Boston College running back Andre Williams leads all FBS running backs with 2073 rushing yards, good for an average of 6.5 yards per carry. The senior's a potential Heisman finalist, and to help his case, someone put together a video of him bowling over opponents to the Starman music from the Super...

Southern Miss Attempts To Replace Its Murdered Mascot

In 1993, Southern Mississippi's golden eagle mascot Nugget II starved to death under mysterious circumstances, and alumni paid off the government to make questions go away. For two decades, students and alumni have been trying to bring a bird back to campus. This might be the closest they get....

Fat Guy Fake Punt Hurdling Touchdown!

Kent crushed Ohio 44-13 in Athens tonight, but the highlight for all who tuned in for #MACtion was this 61-yard fake punt by Nate Terhune, a 6'4" 265 lb. defensive lineman who played up-back on the punt team and made the most of his opportunity—hurdling a Bobcat return teamer en route to the end z...

Andre Iguodala Leaves Some Rich Dudes Hanging On A High Five

These three dudes were right there after Andre Iguodala's buzzer-beater to beat the Thunder, and they were right there to give Iguodala a giant high five after it happened. Look at their faces. Look at the way two of them follow through after Iguodala turns and walks away. Look at how the dude to th...
