James Harden Sinks Half-Court Buzzer-Beater

Baseball's Facial Hair Spectrum

Did Derrick Nix Smack Cody Zeller In The Nuts, Or Did Zeller Make Him Do It?
Senior Derrick Nix is Michigan State's team captain, but he's done some pretty uncaptain-like things. Like an offseason arrest for impaired driving and marijuana possession (the latter charge was dropped.) Like offering up bulletin board material when he called Victor Oladipo overrated. And then, t...
The Worst Free-Throw Attempt Ever, Explained By The Woman Who Took It
On Monday, we brought you footage of what we described as the worst free-throw attempt of all time. The shot truly is a thing to behold, and we couldn't help but wonder (after watching it for the 20th time) how exactly a free throw could fall so far from the rim.

This Behind-The-Back Table Tennis Shot Confused The Heck Out Of Its Victim
This happened over the weekend at the ITTF Kuwait Open (that explains the announcer), but we're just getting it to you now because we assumed you hadn't yet received your Kuwait Open highlights DVD. Sue us....
Pavel Datsyuk Scores Goal After Skating Through Entire Team
This is hockey's version of going coast-to-coast, though with a much greater degree of difficulty. It's the Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk single-handedly tying the Predators and forcing overtime with 6:30 to play last night in Nashville. Datsyuk ultimately couldn't do it all, though. The Preds went on ...
A Strong Day For Oscar Pistorius's Defense, As Lead Investigator Struggles Under Cross-Examination
Today was the second day in Oscar Pistorius's bail hearing, and it started as a bit of a circus. Hundreds of media members and spectators were turned away from the courtroom (here's a 360-degree panorama that shows just how small it is), and a promised overflow room was not made ready—and some membe...
Joe Johnson Makes Two Perfect Last-Second Shots In One Game
There are two types of great buzzer-beaters. The first kind is the end result of a well-executed inbounds play, one that involves screens and misdirection and ends with a shooter getting open just long enough to rise up for a clean shot at the rim. (See: LeBron James saving Cleveland's season in G...

Journeyman Baseball Player Gets Hurt While "Trying To Be A Gentleman" To A Pitching Machine
On Friday, Casey Kotchman signed a free-agent deal with the Marlins, his seventh team in 10 MLB seasons. He was brought on, at least in part, because Logan Morrison is coming off knee surgery. Only now Kotchman will be out for at least a few days, too. During a drill yesterday, he accidentally ran i...
Goalkeeper Collapses On Pitch From Heat Exhaustion, Terrible Human Being Scores On Him
This took place on Sunday, during a match in Peru’s top level. Club Union Comercio was down a goal with 20 minutes remaining when goalie Juan Flores corralled a ball before collapsing to the grass. It was heat exhaustion and Flores was fine, but we’ve seen far too many players go down like that with...
Andrew Bynum's Hair Is Just All Fucked Up Now
The only thing worth talking about that has come from Andrew Bynum's first season with the 76ers has been the big man's ever-changing, ridiculous hairstyles. Today, Bynum met with the local media to give an update on the progress of his rehab (Spoiler alert: he's still a few weeks away from returni...
Cam Ward Is Bested By A Bouncing Puck Shot From Behind The Red Line
This is just poor. Max Pacioretty notched his first goal of the season in what can generously be described as a wrist shot, modified knuckle-puck, but more accurately described as a dump in....

Here's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Wearing A Darth Vader Mask And Posing With Katherine Webb
If we wanted to, we could probably track down information that would add context to this photo. But we aren't going to do that, because context does not matter in this case.
