David Schlemko Scores Silky Smooth Shootout Goal
The Bruins and Flames had to go to the eighth round of the shootout to find a winner, but what a winner it was. Defenseman David Schlemko—who the Flames just claimed on waivers—pulled a nice little do-si-do that completely fooled Tuukka Rask, and secured both points for the Flames. Just look at that...
Hassan Whiteside Just Won't Quit
There has been no stranger story in the NBA this year than the rise of Hassan Whiteside, the 25-year-old center who spent the last two seasons playing for the Sichuan Blue Whales, Al Mouttahed Tripoli, and Jiangsu Tongxi—making the trip back to China after being released by Tripoli—and now won't s...
Steph Curry Launches A Three, Doesn't Even Watch It Go In
Hey, Steph Curry, how is your confidence level these days?...
Russell Westbrook Owns The NBA
There was a full slate of NBA games on last night, featuring enough close games and superstar performances to keep anyone with a League Pass subscription fumbling with the remote. But the best game of the evening featured a 13-48 squad in the middle of an unprecedented tanking campaign and a Western...
Russell Westbrook Is Back To Soaring Past Hapless Defenders To Dunk
After missing Sunday's game against the Lakers because of surgery to repair a fractured zygomatic arch bone, Russell Westbrook has returned with a vengeance, and a mask! Both were on display as he split two Philadelphia defenders to throw down a monster two-handed jam. It is only 18 minutes into the...
Nene Plays Like Shit, Gets Taunted By Old Dudes
The Wizards, now in the midst of a 1-7 skid, got beat last night by a Bulls team that was without Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, and Derrick Rose. The Wiz are a goddamn mess right now, but nobody had a worse night than Nene....
This Fake Rugby Pass Is Outrageous
This is such a sick ball fake by Rangi Chase of the Salford Red Devils. He actually tosses the ball a little bit with his right hand before grabbing it with his left and continuing to run. The fake is sold so completely you can see both defenders break down into a tackling stance. I need to watch mo...

Keep your eye on the ball, if you can....
Kendrick Perkins Had A Very Kendrick Perkins Game
LeBron James was amazing, but I would like to draw your attention to another remarkable performance from last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors: That of Kendrick Perkins, a rusty tugboat that washed up onto a basketball court during a hurricane....
Talented Hockey Bloke Falls Down On Breakaway, Scores Anyway
The Cardiff Devils' Chris Culligan had a tight breakaway Wednesday, but when Coventry Blaze defenseman Craig Cescon caught up, Culligan turned around, stuck with the play, and snuck in a goal from his knees. Lovely....
Hulk Can Score Rocket Goals With Either Foot
Hulk hammered home a long-range rocket today against PSV in Europa League action, and while we've featured plenty of the Zenit St. Petersburg striker's heroics around here, we'd like to note that today's feat came off his right, and supposedly weaker, foot. ...
Here Are Some Cool Derrick Rose Dunks
Given today's news and the way he was playing this season, it's kind of hard to believe that this version of Derrick Rose ever existed at all, let alone just four seasons ago. That third dunk remains one of the most absurd things I've ever seen in a basketball game....
Andrew Wiggins Shows James Harden What Real Defense Looks Like
James Harden must have been feeling pretty cocky after turning Ricky Rubio's ankles into cornmeal, because he tried to pull the same shit on Andrew Wiggins just a few minutes later. Unfortunately for Harden, Wiggins looked at all those fancy crossovers and said, "Hi, um, I'm not Ricky Rubio."...
RIP Ricky Rubio
Last seen alive in the Toyota Center, Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio was killed Monday night by a suspected James Harden crossover. Rubio was 24....
Does LeBron James Jr. Really Have What It Takes To Be Great?
It's been a few months since we got our first good look at fourth-grader LeBron James Jr.'s impressive basketball skills. This latest highlight reel certainly reaffirms the youngster's talent, but it's time for us to start holding LeBron to a higher standard. ...
D-Leaguer Sinks Two Half-Court Shots In One Game
Andre Stringer of the Maine Red Claws is your D-League player of the week—probably, who's going to check—after hitting two buzzer-beating half-court shots in one game on Sunday against the Erie BayHawks. Stringer hit his buckets at halftime and the end of the third quarter. ...
This Richard Jefferson Dunk Not Counting Is A Crime Against Humanity
This is some bullshit, man. ...
Jarell Martin Pulls Off In-Game East Bay Funk Dunk
You won't be faulted for thinking that you're watching a dunk contest here, but Jarell Martin managed to unleash this between-the-legs dunk during LSU's game against Florida today. As a native son of Oakland, I will always call this the East Bay Funk Dunk, so memorably coined by Isaiah "JR" Rider as...
Do Not Try And Take A Charge From DeMarcus Cousins
If you look closely, you can see Jae Crowder regret his decision to try and take a charge from a DeMarcus Cousins with 94 feet of built-up momentum, and begin to lean away to the side. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from getting a knee to his chest, or the ball viciously dunked on his head....
Stephen Curry Goes Coast-To-Coast & Around The World
Like Casey Kasem on American Top 40, Stephen Curry took a Spurs turnover coast-to-coast and around the world for a layup that absolutely delighted ESPN Deportes announcers Fernando Álvarez and Pablo Viruega....
