Dion Waiters Handled His Free Agency Like He Handles Open Corner Threes
Dion Waiters had a very Dion Waiters season as a member of the Thunder in 2015-16. Which is to say he tossed bricks all over the court, carried himself like he was the best scorer on the team, and nearly altered the course of NBA history with one supremely boneheaded but effective forearm shiver. Ho...

The Tour De France Is Using French Nuclear Tech To Stop Motorized Doping<em></em>

LeBron Says He Was Motivated By Some Hurtful Parting Words In Miami
One of the running subplots of the 2015 Finals was LeBron James’s reference to a “secret motivation” driving him—something he shared with teammates, and even with Dwyane Wade, but refused to reveal to the public until he won a championship in Cleveland. He didn’t win last year, but that motivation r...
The Pandora's Box Of Doping Cases Is About To Be Opened
Ten years ago, the Spanish Guardia Civil raided the Madrid lab of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes and discovered 211 bags of blood from athletes Fuentes had worked with.

It’s about 90 degrees in New York City today. Of course, you wouldn’t know that if you’re trapped in an overly air conditioned office building, but that’s pretty hot for late May. While the temperature should break a little next week, this could be a sign of the summer to come—a new forecast from th...
Here's The Prettiest Goal Of The Weekend, By Far
John Quenneville’s fake/between-the-legs goal is the highlight, but Ivan Provorov’s long pass to set it up is also worth admiring. Hell, just enjoy the full sequence, because it’s gorgeous and I’ve already watched it seven times....
That Time Two Cyclists Tried To Fix A Tour de France Stage And Royally Screwed Up
It’s the final climb of Stage 15 of the 2005 Tour de France, the queen stage of the last Tour Lance Armstrong will win before retiring.

Surviving A Graduation
Graduation felt like petering-out more than a crisp conclusion to what was—fill in your own blanks—maybe the most hedonistic, maybe the most edifying, probably the most tumultuous phase of a young life. The whole spectacle was stretched thin over too many days, a slow and tedious death....
Sick Of Doping? Get Off The Internet, Get Off The Couch, And Run A Race
Yes, I get it, everyone’s doping and no one cares. About doping. But there’s a huge disconnect between what is happening at the top level of the sport and what is happening in my hometown, and I would guess, other people’s hometowns too. Which is running. Competition. Running races is fun and people...
Report: Heat Fear Chris Bosh May Not Be Able To Play Again
Two straight years, Chris Bosh’s season has ended in February, as he’s battled multiple occurrences of blood clots.

The Raptors Are Bad, The Heat Are Bad, But Dwyane Wade Is Good
For the fourth time in four games, Toronto and Miami played a boring, ugly slog of a game where entertaining chunks only ever intermittently floated up through a soup of mediocre, dumb basketball.
