Watch David Stern Choking In Slow Motion, Because It Is Fun

Does More Ball Movement Help An NBA Offense, Or Just Waste Time?
What counts as good NBA ball movement? The "seven seconds or less" theory developed by Mike D'Antoni's Phoenix Suns contends that teams are more efficient earlier in the shot clock (they are), and that the best strategy is, consequently, to get a shot off quickly with relatively few touches on the b...

Hideo Nomo Changed Baseball Forever, And Then He Disappeared
Having purchased a Hall of Fame ballot, which we'll be filling out in accordance with the wishes of our readers, we're examining the merits—and relative lack of merits—of all 36 players on this year's ballot for the purposes of better informing the electorate, i.e., you. All entries in the series ca...

NBA TV Asks Couple "When's The Wedding?" Dude Responds: "Ohhh, Shit"
This is such a weird interview. In a segment featuring a couple selected as "Fans Of The Week" before the Heat-Pacers game last night, the NBA TV crew began razzing Jake Moran and questioning why his lady friend, Georgia, was with him. Georgia stood by Jake and so Greg Anthony cut right to the chas...

Amir Williams Almost Said "Dick" On TV And It's Hysterical
Amir Williams had 12 points, nine rebounds and six blocks in Ohio State's 86-48 pounding of the Bryant Bulldogs. After the game, Williams was asked to tell viewers what's been most responsible for his great play of late and he almost said "coach Matta, he's been on my dick." ...

Why The NFL Flexed Bears-Eagles Over Patriots-Ravens
At first glance, it was a surprise. The NFL wants America to see McCown-Foles over Brady-Flacco? But the league has a good reason for flexing Bears-Eagles to Sunday Night Football for Week 16: the freedom to choose the perfect Week 17 game. (Also, the fact that Bears-Eagles is going to be awesome.)...

Mike Shanahan Admits To Lying To The Media All The Time
Mike Shanahan was a little fired up at his press conference earlier today. That's understandable, considering the monumental shit storm that has descended on the Redskins' season. But the best part of the presser came when Shanahan, with one little admission, crystallized everything that is so dysfu...

The House of Beretta
In the rooms where the engravers work their drawings into the steel of a shotgun's receiver, the meditative strike of their hammers on the heads of their chisels makes a tick-tick-tick-Tick-TICK that you might first think was coming from a woodpecker's drilling on a tree. The tones are woodsy, with ...

The Heat Still Have A Roy Hibbert-Sized Problem In Indiana
Last night's Heat-Pacers game marked the first time the two teams had met since last season's Eastern Conference Finals, a thrilling seven-game series that the Pacers nearly stole by driving a mack truck with the number 55 on it through the Heat's undersized front court. If the game proved anything,...

A Face Only A Hockey Puck Could Love
Once upon a time, NHL goalies played without masks. Unsurprisingly, their faces often got all fucked up. In 1966, LIFE published an article, "The Goalie Is the Goat," that not only aimed to put a human countenance on "hockey's reviled and bludgeoned fall-guys," but featured a photo of what looked li...
