Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
Justin Tucker Nailed A 75-Yard Field Goal
The Pro Bowl is a meaningless spectacle that is only as valuable as the silly highlights it provides.

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. They look tiny compared to him, and they seem to be openly marveling that their new teammate is su...
Behold The Unrelenting Genius Of Lionel Messi's Passes
The danger, if you can call it that, of regularly watching Lionel Messi play soccer—which is to say, to watch one man routinely perform stupefying acts of brilliance the likes of which you’ve never seen before—is that at some point, you run the risk of becoming inured to it....
