Prep Hockey Player Scores A Barrel-Roll Goal
This is Alex Hopkins, a senior forward from Wisconsin's WSFLG Blizzard, undressing a defenseman, embarrassing a goalie, and just generally being a whirling dervish of a goalscoring machine in a playoff game on Saturday. His team didn't win, but only because prep rules stupidly don't count this as fi...

The Greek Freak Goes Hunting For Blocks
Giannis Antetokounmpo only got credit for one block on this play, but a hometown scorer would have probably given him two. He barely got a finger on the first ball, but it's safe to assume that the Greek Freak's footsteps and flying limbs had something to do with Tony Wroten biffing it. ...
Thomas Robinson's Block Sends Out Shockwaves Of Awesome
Here's a good example of a thing that is particularly cool about the NBA: the way one spectacular play can set off a chain reaction of events that crescendos with an entire arena losing its collective mind....
Jadeveon Clowney's 40-Yard Dash Run Was Ridiculous

Second-Straight Ridiculous Save Sends Accenture Match Play To Hole 21
Victor Dubuisson hit two straight balls into near-impossible spots in the bunkers of holes 19 and 20 of the WGC-Accenture Match Play and hit two nearer-impossible shots to get out. He and Jason Day moved on to hole 21 after this ridiculous shot put him in position to knock down the putt. Jason Day'...
Louisville And Cincinnati Swap Lead Three Times In Final 30 Seconds
After Cincinnati (7) went on a 10-0 run in the last four minutes to get themselves back in it against Louisville (11), the lead changed three times in the final 30 seconds. Thanks to Russ Smith, the Cardinals were on the right end of the eeny-meeny-miny-moe finish and won 58-57....

New Hampshire Basketball Team Ends Four Year Long Losing Streak
The Timberlane Regional High School boys' basketball team headed into tonight's season finale against Keene with an 0-17 record on the season. The Plaistow, NH squad didn't win any games last season, either, or the year before that; their last win was in January, 2010—81 games ago. The streak finall...
Jermaine O'Neal Makes Game-Saving Block, Is Very Pleased With Himself
You can give Steph Curry the credit for last night's Warriors' victory if you want to—he did tie the game with a preposterous layup at the end of regulation before scoring seven points in OT, after all—but I prefer to think that this game belonged to old-ass Jermaine O'Neal....
Jonathan Soriano's Crushing Shot Scores From Halfway Line
Listening to the bass-heavy "thoom" of this blast from today's Red Bull Salzburg-Ajax match is just as satisfying as watching the ball fly over half the field, hang just over the Ajax keeper's fingers, and nestle softly into the back of the net....
Holy Shit, Everyone Look At This Golazo From Ricardo Quaresma

Gerald Green Hammers A Lob On Kenneth Faried's Head
Without Kenneth Faried's defensive effort, the degree of difficulty on this alley-oop would not have been nearly as high as it is, so we thank him for doing his part to create a great NBA highlight. But, man, Faried should probably stop jumping near former slam dunk contest winners....

Damian Lillard's Between-The-Legs Dunk, Animated
Sure, John Wall won the slam dunk contest, but you'd be hard pressed to find a prettier between-the-legs dunk than the one little Dame Lillard put on in the freestyle round. Here it is, in rotoscoped animation. ...
