Karl-Anthony Towns, Who Is Awesome, Did A Bunch Of Cool Shit Last Night
I’m sort of embarrassed at how little we’ve talked about Karl-Anthony Towns on this here website. We’ve heaped plenty of deserved praise on fellow rookie Kristaps Porzingis, but Towns has been just as thrilling (and more productive) in his first NBA season. So, let’s drool over some of the things he...
Dirk Hits Game-Winning Jumper, Gets The Kobe Pat Of Approval
Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant’s 50th, and final, meeting lost some of its luster when Kobe had to miss it because of a shoulder injury. But the older, kinder, gentler Kobe still found a way to be involved in the biggest play of the night, congratulating his long-time foe after Nowitzki made a game-w...
Virginia Caps Unlikely Comeback Against Wake Forest With Buzzer-Beating Banked Three
Virginia might have pulled off the most unlikely win of the entire college basketball season Tuesday night. With just 22 seconds left in the game, Wake Forest had a seven point lead and possession of the ball. Just 22 seconds later they had lost, 72-71. Here is what the game’s win probability graph ...
It Took Stephen Curry Four Minutes To Do Something Incredible Against The Spurs
Tonight’s intensely-anticipated Spurs-Warriors matchup is going Golden State’s way, and in a big way, early. Leading the charge, expectedly, is the MVP Stephen Curry. He’s singlehandedly making us jaded to his own highlights....
Young Child Who Gets The Living God Nutmegged Out Of Him Must Now Quit, Learn Viola
Generally speaking, youth sports are about fun and fitness and finding a bit of self-worth in a big, strange world, and perhaps—perhaps—discovering an activity that makes you Feel Something. But generally speaking—generally speaking—the stakes ain’t that high, and they’re not supposed to be....
¡Súperman Una Vez Más!
Cam Newton is leading his Carolina Panthers team to an NFC championship and is almost certainly the NFL MVP. These achievements seem almost modest, you know, for Superman. But the Man of Steel took flight in the third quarter of tonight’s blowout NFC title game; ¡Es un pájaro! ¡Es un avión!...
SMU, The Last Undefeated Team In College Basketball, Goes Down
Temple took down Larry Brown’s previously undefeated Southern Methodist Mustangs 89-80 this afternoon in Philly. The game was originally scheduled to take place yesterday, but the blizzard forced it to today. Backup guard Devin Coleman was a perfect 7-for-7 from three and 8-for-8 from the field for ...
DeMarcus Cousins Cooked And Ate The Pacers Last Night
Oh hey, look at that, the Kings have won five in a row over pretty decent competition. Willie Cauley-Stein has been a perfect fit at center, and since he’s moved into the starting lineup, Sacramento is 9-3. But really, it all starts and ends with Boogie. He’s leading the NBA in scoring and reboundin...
Cops Join In Snow Football Game, Deliver Devastating Stiffarm
Much like that Gainesville cop who dunked on those kids earlier this week, these Washington D.C. cops took a little time off from policing last night as the blizzard was roaring into D.C. to play some sports. This may or may not be an attempt to ride the wave of goodwill that the Gainesville cop set...
Joe Hart's Tremendous Save Brings Russell Brand To His Feet In Anguish
Man City keeper Joe Hart kept his side even with West Ham United with a brilliant save of a Dimitry Payet free kick that brought anguish to the supporters at Upton Park—especially Russell Brand, in attendance with pal Noel Gallagher. Depending on whether you think Brand is an asshole or if you think...
Ángel Di María Hammers Home Long-Range Volley
We can’t imagine PSG’s Ángel di María heard about Dele Alli’s wondergoal earlier today, but if he did this is a fitting response. Dare we say di María learned it from Zlatan?...
Messi The Magician Gives Barça The Lead With Gorgeous Volley
Barcelona found themselves in a real battle today at Málaga, but it was the hero himself, Lionel Messi, who once again came through in the clutch as the Argentine brought Ray Hudson to yet another orgasmic climax with an unstoppable volley....
Stephen Curry Is A Fictional Character From Planet X
One of baseball’s last remaining virtues is that the maxim “Watch any baseball game, and you’ll see something you’ve never seen before” is generally true. We think it’s about time that rule be applied to any time Steph Curry is on a basketball court... or off it....
Russell Westbrook Dunked The Nuggets Out Of The Arena
The Denver Nuggets, a bad basketball team, actually gave the Oklahoma City Thunder a close game last night. A rejuvenated Danilo Gallinari hung 27 on them, Kenneth Faried did some Kenneth Faried things, and rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay managed to play 33 not-totally-embarrassing minutes. Denve...
Cezar Guerrero Wild Desperation Shot Forces Overtime Against San Diego State
SDSU held for an home win tonight against Fresno State, but it came with some difficulty after an overtime period forced when Fresno’s Cezar Guerrero hit a miracle three-pointer at the buzzer. The Bulldogs have looked good at times this season—and knocking off the league leader would have improved t...
Steph Curry Is Rude As Hell
Steph Curry and the Warriors beat some ass against the Cavaliers last night. Curry scored 35 points in the laugher despite not playing the fourth quarter, but he had plenty of time to toy with the Cavs before taking a rest....
Knicks Win In Double-OT After Carmelo Anthony Hits Tying Three At End Of Regulation
What could possibly get the whole Internet talking about a January afternoon Sixers-Knicks game? The combination of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a free League Pass preview. Just when we were ready to rub a Sixers win in the face of our New York-based co-workers, ‘Melo had to pull this rabbit out o...
Giant Monster Dunks On Poor Sucker; Poor Sucker Laughs
San Antonio’s “sort of an odd thing” Boban Marjanović (pictured here) is 7-foot-3, very strong, and has hands the size of Manu Ginobili. What I am saying here is that one can only do so much to prevent him from catching and dunking basketballs. Sometimes he’s just gonna catch a basketball and dunk i...
Josh Norman's Freelance Sack Was As Brilliant As It Was Ballsy
It’s hard to call any play made by a team that was up 31-0 at halftime and led through all four quarters a true “game-saver,” but there’s no denying that the Panthers were in need of a big play after the Seahawks’ successful fake punt late in the third quarter. That’s when Josh Norman went off-scrip...
