Christian Pulisic's Swag Is Crazy High Right Now And It's Beautiful To See
Highly coveted wonderteen and future Ballon d’Or winner Christian Pulisic scored the first goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-0 win over Lotte in the German Cup yesterday. The goal itself was fine, the product of Pulisic’s smart movement but mostly Ousmane Dembélé’s unreal skills. But check out Pulisic’s...
Javier Baez Started Celebrating This Tag Before He Even Caught The Ball
Puerto Rico beat the Dominican Republic 3-1 this evening in both teams’ first second-round game. Yadier Molina drove in two runs and five Puerto Rican pitchers kept the WBC’s best offense very quiet. Puerto Rico’s defense came up big all game, starting with Eddie Rosario’s rocket of a throw in the f...
Enjoy This Cousins-To-Davis Alley-Oop, Because The Pelicans Probably Won't Make The Playoffs
The Pelicans may have traded for the best player at the trade deadline, but they remain an outside shot to make the playoffs. That said, both DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis have been, statistically speaking, “pretty good” since the trade....
Sure-Footed Baseball Fan Earns His Souvenir
There were quite a few empty seats at yesterday’s World Baseball Classic game between Venezuela and Italy, and that provided one daring fan an opportunity to show off his acrobatic abilities while chasing down a foul ball....
Skilled Baseball Man Shohei Otani Cracked A Big Ol' Dinger
Shohei Otani, the most interesting baseball player in the world, did not play at the World Baseball Classic this year, and that sucks. His absence deprived us of the chance to see one of the best hitters and pitchers in Japan in action on the world stage, so for now we’ll just have to settle for thi...
Ricky Rubio Is Rolling
It’s hard to believe that Ricky Rubio is still just 26 years old. Maybe that’s because, by virtue of the fact that he and Nikola Pekovic are the only two players on the Timberwolves’ roster that were there in 2011, he qualifies as something of a grizzled veteran on this team. Insomuch as NBA teams h...
No One Was Stopping Johnny Gaudreau Here
At 23 years old and far more deserving of his nickname than the guy it was swiped and adapted from, Calgary Flames winger Johnny Gaudreau is already one of the NHL’s most exciting players, and maybe the one you can least afford to take your eye off of, even when he’s back in his own zone with four d...

George Mason Forces OT With Jalen Jenkins Buzzer-Beater
Jalen Jenkins landed a layup as time expired in regulation to force overtime in George Mason’s A-10 tournament matchup against Fordham.

George Mason Manager Makes Play Of The Day, Saves Rogue Contact Lens
George Mason is matched up with Fordham in the Atlantic-10 tournament tonight. The Patriots led through most of the first half, but the best play of the game so far came from graduate manager Bryson Johnson....
Steph Curry Spoke Too Soon
At the end of the third quarter of last night’s Celtics-Warriors game, Steph Curry did some very rude things to Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown. After shaking and faking Brown out of his airspace, Curry rose up for a buzzer-beating three that put the Warriors up 74-71. And then he got sassy, turning tow...
Barcelona's Comeback-Sealing Goal, As Heard Around The World
It’s been nearly an entire day and it’s still hard to believe that what happened yesterday actually happened. (Six to one!!!!!!) Relive some of the insanity of the Sergi Roberto goal that capped off Barcelona’s incredible Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain with calls of the moment...
High School Baseball Player Serves Up Mighty Bat Flip
The bat flip is not the transgressive act of defiance that it once was (the MLB now celebrates them), but a nice nonchalant bat toss is still the best way to show out after a big dinger. To truly differentiate yourself amongst a nation of bat flippers, you have to stand out, as high school player Da...
Russell Westbrook, Oh My God
Russell Westbrook’s season-long mania reached a furious, wailing-electric-guitar pitch in Tuesday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He scored a career-high 58 points, but it wasn’t enough to get Oklahoma City Thunder the win, an apt metaphor for their season....
Get A Load Of This Incredible Game-Winning Sequence From Kawhi Leonard
The Rockets went to San Antonio tonight to play the Spurs and give us all a preview of what the Western Conference semifinals will be like. For most of the game, Houston was in control. James Harden scored 18 points in the first quarter and the Rockets led by double digits from early in the first qu...
Kyrie Irving Created Another Beautiful Layup Masterpiece<em></em>
Kyrie Irving somehow managed to shake Rodney McGruder, skip his way to the hoop, and deliver a gem of a reverse layup during tonight’s game against the Heat....
Martin Jones's Collar Made A Lucky Save
The Wild beat the Sharks 3-1 last night, and it would have been worse if not for Martin Jones’s totally accidental, totally unrepeatable save on a Chris Stewart shot. The Wild players threw their arms up as if Stewart had scored, but you can’t see what happened till you check the replays:...
