Nikola Jokic Reveals How He Sets Up Those Super Cool Court-Length Passes
One underappreciated aspect of Nikola Jokic’s much-lauded passing ability is the way that he shrinks the court for the Nuggets and creates easy buckets out of otherwise unlikely scenarios.

Julius Randle Is A Damn Bully
Paul Millsap stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 246 pounds. He looks like he could easily lift me off the ground while palming my skull. He’s strong, is what I’m saying. But he doesn’t look so strong here, does he?...

Let Us Now Have Our Brains Melted By Anthony Davis
The New Orleans Pelicans came apart over the last, oh, 13 minutes or so of last night’s game and wound up losing pretty one-sidedly to the Utah Jazz, at home. Please do not let that distract you too much from the hilarious wonder of Anthony Davis’s 25-point, 11-rebound, 10-block triple double....

USA Rugby's Perry Baker Embarrasses Four Defenders On A Fantastic Try
USA Rugby won this weekend’s World Rugby Sevens Series event in Las Vegas, its first-ever USA Sevens championship, and, fittingly, American player Perry Baker had the highlight of the tournament.

Radford Earns Big South Conference Championship With Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
I’m still digging the buzzer-beaters over here.

The Highlanders ran off some clock and set a pair...

Lonzo Ball Rescued The Lakers With Actual By-God Buckets
The Lakers, stuck in the somewhat rare position of being a definite non-playoff team that also has no incentive whatsoever to lose, have, instead, been winning: they’ve now won five in a row, and seven of ten, and nine of 12, and 13 of 18, and 17 of 24. Barring a downturn over their final 20 games—a...

Celtics-Rockets Was One Totally Bitchin' Basketball Game
If you missed last night’s Celtics-Rockets game—if, say, you were watching outdoor hockey or a heavyweight title fight—you missed an outrageously fun and fast and fiercely competitive game.
