Bol Bol, Manute Bol's 17-Year-Old Son, Is Already A Beast
The best part of the highlight reel below, with all due consideration to Bol Bol swatting the daylights out of No. 3 at 1:45, is the way Bol’s teammates grin and giggle as they run back down the court.

Basketball Rim No Match For Strong Dunk
We are in a barren wasteland of basketball news right now (a minor feud between Jae Crowder and Marcin Gortat is almost newsworthy at this point).

Catholic Memorial School took on Newton North High School in basketball up in a suburb of Boston last night.

‘Tis the season for buzzer-beaters.
