Belmont Knocks Off Murray State In Bonkers OVC Finale
Belmont earned this year's first NCAA tournament invite when the Bruins ended the nation's second-longest win streak in knocking off Murray State via a Taylor Barnette three-pointer with four seconds remaining. The shot topped a madcap final three minutes in which Belmont lost two leads and found th...
Hanner Mosquera-Perea Throws Down Thunderous Tip Slam For Indiana
Indiana's locked in a crucial struggle today with Michigan State at Assembly Hall, and if momentum will determine the victor then the Hoosiers got a big early edge when Hanner Mosquera-Perea threw down this devastating tip slam in the first half....
No Big Deal, Just Stephen Curry Dishing Another Unbelievable Pass
Stephen Curry completes passes that nobody else even thinks of. A fake behind-the-back to offhand wraparound pass isn't something you see every day, or any day. Watch Draymond Green sitting on the three-point line and Klay Thompson diving into the paint behind a ball-watching Monta Ellis, and on a...
E'Twaun Moore Buries Thunder With Game-Winning Three
Here's a fun look at E'Twaun Moore's three-pointer with two seconds left to beat the Thunder, which featured a cool play where the ball was inbounded to Pau Gasol in the post, and immediately thrown back out to an open Moore. That's Russell Westbrook—who stepped out of bounds on the ensuing possessi...
David Schlemko Scores Silky Smooth Shootout Goal
The Bruins and Flames had to go to the eighth round of the shootout to find a winner, but what a winner it was. Defenseman David Schlemko—who the Flames just claimed on waivers—pulled a nice little do-si-do that completely fooled Tuukka Rask, and secured both points for the Flames. Just look at that...
Hassan Whiteside Just Won't Quit
There has been no stranger story in the NBA this year than the rise of Hassan Whiteside, the 25-year-old center who spent the last two seasons playing for the Sichuan Blue Whales, Al Mouttahed Tripoli, and Jiangsu Tongxi—making the trip back to China after being released by Tripoli—and now won't s...
Steph Curry Launches A Three, Doesn't Even Watch It Go In
Hey, Steph Curry, how is your confidence level these days?...
Russell Westbrook Owns The NBA
There was a full slate of NBA games on last night, featuring enough close games and superstar performances to keep anyone with a League Pass subscription fumbling with the remote. But the best game of the evening featured a 13-48 squad in the middle of an unprecedented tanking campaign and a Western...
Russell Westbrook Is Back To Soaring Past Hapless Defenders To Dunk
After missing Sunday's game against the Lakers because of surgery to repair a fractured zygomatic arch bone, Russell Westbrook has returned with a vengeance, and a mask! Both were on display as he split two Philadelphia defenders to throw down a monster two-handed jam. It is only 18 minutes into the...
Nene Plays Like Shit, Gets Taunted By Old Dudes
The Wizards, now in the midst of a 1-7 skid, got beat last night by a Bulls team that was without Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, and Derrick Rose. The Wiz are a goddamn mess right now, but nobody had a worse night than Nene....
This Fake Rugby Pass Is Outrageous
This is such a sick ball fake by Rangi Chase of the Salford Red Devils. He actually tosses the ball a little bit with his right hand before grabbing it with his left and continuing to run. The fake is sold so completely you can see both defenders break down into a tackling stance. I need to watch mo...
Syracuse Lacrosse Executed The Perfect Hidden-Ball Trick
Keep your eye on the ball, if you can....
Kendrick Perkins Had A Very Kendrick Perkins Game
LeBron James was amazing, but I would like to draw your attention to another remarkable performance from last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors: That of Kendrick Perkins, a rusty tugboat that washed up onto a basketball court during a hurricane....
Talented Hockey Bloke Falls Down On Breakaway, Scores Anyway
The Cardiff Devils' Chris Culligan had a tight breakaway Wednesday, but when Coventry Blaze defenseman Craig Cescon caught up, Culligan turned around, stuck with the play, and snuck in a goal from his knees. Lovely....
Hulk Can Score Rocket Goals With Either Foot
Hulk hammered home a long-range rocket today against PSV in Europa League action, and while we've featured plenty of the Zenit St. Petersburg striker's heroics around here, we'd like to note that today's feat came off his right, and supposedly weaker, foot. ...
Here Are Some Cool Derrick Rose Dunks
Given today's news and the way he was playing this season, it's kind of hard to believe that this version of Derrick Rose ever existed at all, let alone just four seasons ago. That third dunk remains one of the most absurd things I've ever seen in a basketball game....
Andrew Wiggins Shows James Harden What Real Defense Looks Like
James Harden must have been feeling pretty cocky after turning Ricky Rubio's ankles into cornmeal, because he tried to pull the same shit on Andrew Wiggins just a few minutes later. Unfortunately for Harden, Wiggins looked at all those fancy crossovers and said, "Hi, um, I'm not Ricky Rubio."...
RIP Ricky Rubio
Last seen alive in the Toyota Center, Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio was killed Monday night by a suspected James Harden crossover. Rubio was 24....
Does LeBron James Jr. Really Have What It Takes To Be Great?
It's been a few months since we got our first good look at fourth-grader LeBron James Jr.'s impressive basketball skills. This latest highlight reel certainly reaffirms the youngster's talent, but it's time for us to start holding LeBron to a higher standard. ...
D-Leaguer Sinks Two Half-Court Shots In One Game
Andre Stringer of the Maine Red Claws is your D-League player of the week—probably, who's going to check—after hitting two buzzer-beating half-court shots in one game on Sunday against the Erie BayHawks. Stringer hit his buckets at halftime and the end of the third quarter. ...
