Aluminum Bat Flips Can Be Righteous Too
Miami Hurricanes star right fielder Willie Abreu has had one hell of a week. Last Friday, he dinged a walk off grand slam to beat Louisville. The Canes were taking on Clemson last night and had a comfortable lead until their bullpen blew a five-run lead....
J.J. Redick's Game-Winner Was Made Possible By Chris Paul's Nutmeg Inbounds
So this is a game-winning shot by J.J. Redick (at least one Dookie had a good night), but it’s not even the most impressive thing in this clip. Watch it again, and pay attention to Chris Paul’s inbounds pass. He is being guarded by 6'11" Mason Plumlee, who was brought into the game specifically to d...
D.J. Stephens Throws Down Thunderous Fast Break Alley-Oop
D.J. Stephens of the D-League’s Iowa Energy yammed home this alley-oop during a close win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. The cut-off perspective of the Vine may be preferable, as it almost looks like Stephens comes out of nowhere for the slam: ...
James Rodríguez Is Out To Prove He's Still The Shit
Nobody in Madrid much likes Colombian superstar James Rodríguez. His teammates don’t like him, his coach doesn’t like him, the fans don’t like him, the president doesn’t like him, even the local cops don’t like him. At a career crossroad of sorts, with his talent unquestioned but his dedication and ...
Let's Watch All Of The Long-Range Needle-Threading Passes
Midway through the third quarter of the Warriors’ game against the Clippers, Stephen Curry threw this astonishing off-handed bullet pass through a thicket of bodies right on the money to Draymond Green, who yammed it home. Make sure to stick around for that alternate angle. ...

The Philadelphia 76ers were denied their 10th win of the season when Emmanuel Mudiay’s awkward hoist from the Nuggets logo as the buzzer sounded rimmed in....
"That Was Insane! Officially Insane!" Is The Proper Call For LeBron's Reverse Jam
Cavaliers announcer Fred McLeod was wowed by this LeBron James dunk in the third quarter of Cleveland’s 113-104 victory over Milwaukee, and rightfully so....
Damn, This Dude Flat Out Crushes This Ball
A lot to enjoy here: 1) the shot by Wimbledon’s Jake Reeves itself, coming off an expertly controlled bounding ball and a wallop of a kick that sends the it way up into the air before it dips and swerves into the goal; 2) Reeves’s cocky little strut that he starts right after the ball comes off his ...
Jason Chimera Scores Header Goal
The hockey header goal: it is a rare hybrid of sorts, blending parts of both ice hockey and soccer in what sports legend tells us is a myth, but actually happened last night as the Capitals’ Jason Chimera knocked a puck into the net with his noggin and it counted....
Rory McIlroy Holes 59-Foot Putt
Rory McIlroy had a mediocre turn at this weekend’s Arnold Palmer Invitational—finishing in a tie for 25th place—but he closed his Sunday with an incredible long-range putt for birdie on the par-4 18th at Bay Hill. The Northern Irishman changed his putting approach earlier this month, and it might ju...
A Good Goalie Goal
The Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League clinched their division with a 9-3 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers last night, and one of those nine was a bomb from Stuart Skinner all way from the other end....
Manuel Lanzini Rocket Goal Puts West Ham Up On Chelsea
Chelsea fell behind at home once again this morning, though it’s hard to blame them for this Manuel Lanzini screamer from outside the box. The Blues haven’t much but pride to play for at this point, and strikes like this from the Argentine aren’t helping....
This Steph Curry Shot Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
The Warriors went down to Dallas and won a wildly entertaining shootout against the Mavs 130-112. Steph Curry finished a rebound shy of a triple-double and yawned his way to a dominant performance. The Mavs kept it close into the fourth quarter, but he and Klay Thompson (who had 10 threes! 10!) just...
Providence Knocks Off USC With Last-Second Layup
Rodney Bullock’s layup with one second remaining proved the difference as Providence beat USC 70-69 for the Friars’ first win in the NCAA tournament since reaching the regional finals in 1997....
UALR Forces Overtime With Late Three-Pointer
Arkansas-Little Rock erased a late fourteen-point deficit in forcing overtime against fifth-seeded Purdue when Josh Hagins hit a three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation. Purdue, perhaps shocked by the play, then completely botched their buzzer-beater attempt—sending us to overtime....
Cool Dude Recreates 13 Iconic March Madness Shots
Is filming yourself recreating 13 famous college basketball shots and then splicing those shots with the real footage a big waste of time? Probably! Is it also a perfectly acceptable way to get hyped for March Madness? I say yes....
LeBron Rocks The Rim With Alley-Oop From J.R. Smith
LeBron James levitated himself to grab this dish from J.R. Smith and throw down an alley-oop early in the Cavs’ battle against the Jazz in Salt Lake City. We give King James plenty of deserved crap around here, but this was a pretty impressive feat—one punctuated by the ESPN Deportes announcing team...
Leicester City Opens Scoring With Shinji Okazaki Overhead Goal
How’s this for sparking the magic that is Leicester City? The Premiership leaders took an early 1-0 lead on Newcastle with this fantastic overhead goal by Shinji Okazaki about which NBC Universo announcers left no doubt: ¡Golazo! (Allowing early goals is specifically not how to beat Leicester City.)...

Quincy Amarikwa put San Jose up 2-0 on Portland tonight in MLS action with a magnificent 40-yard strike that left Timbers keeper Adam Kwarasey looking like an absolute buffoon. ¡Qué golazo!...
Every Quarter Of This Insane Ohio High School Basketball Final Ended On A Buzzer-Beater
Garfield Heights took down St. Ignatius last night in some hot Cleveland Regional Final action to head to the state semifinals. The Bulldogs beat the Wildcats (this was one of probably like 3,000 Bulldogs-Wildcats meetings this weekend) 70-69 in two overtimes, and every single quarter ended with som...
