Take Our Word For It: This Is A Cool Highlight
The Auckland Nines tournament is underway in New Zealand, as the top NRL squads try their hand at the smaller, faster variety of rugby league.

Kobe, Oh Noooo
The Los Angeles Lakers won tonight (!), their second in a row (!!), on the back of a great game from Kobe Bryant (!!!). Old man Kobe had 27 points, and not a single turnover. He, of course, shot 10-for-24, but hey, it’s Kobe, that’s what you’re gonna get....

Arsenal Couldn't Score Yesterday Because Fraser Forster Turned Into A Brick Wall
From a simple glance at yesterday’s scoreline, you might think that Arsenal failing to beat Southampton at home would be evidence of Arsenal picking the worst time to pull an Arsenal—and you wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. However, the bulk of the credit for Southampton’s 0-0 result should fall on Sa...

It would have been understandable if Connor McDavid was rusty tonight, seeing as he hasn’t played a game of hockey in three months after breaking his collarbone. Instead he scored this stunner by dangling past Justin Falk and Jack Johnson, and then deking goalie Joonas Korpisalo out of his damn skat...

Yawn, Another Ronaldo Hat Trick
Ho hum. Cristiano Ronaldo and Real played Espanyol (who are two points above the relegation zone) at the Bernabéu, and would you believe it, they kicked the shit out of them. Ronaldo had a hat trick and James was pinging in dangerous balls over the top all game. Here’s the best Ronaldo goal....

UMass Forward Antwan Space Also Hits Long-Range Buzzer-Beater
We earlier showed you Roosevelt Jones’s three-quarter-court buzzer-beater, and here’s another one today by a player better known for dunks than threes.

Butler Forward Roosevelt Jones Drills Three-Quarter-Court Buzzer-Beater
Coming into today’s game at Marquette, Butler big man Roosevelt Jones had attempted 1,150 field goals. Three of those shots came from behind the three-point line, and zero went in.
