A Shawn Kemp Dunk Reel Set To Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
These two minutes and 13 seconds capture the zeitgeist of the 90s better than perhaps any other random peek into that era.

Evan Mathis Trolled A Reporter Hard

Paul Pierce Is Still The Truth When He Needs To Be
I went to the Barclays Center last month and watched the Brooklyn Nets kick the crap out of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was benched in yesterday's game against the Cardinals; manager Matt Williams said Harper's early exit came from a lack of hustle.

Russell Westbrook And Kevin Durant Are Awesome
This is a beautiful thing. In the first quarter of Grizzlies-Thunder, Russell Westbrook grabbed a rebound and, in the same motion, effortlessly flicked a pass three-quarters of the court that just so happened to land right in front of a streaking Kevin Durant for a fast break dunk that had no busin...
