This is some bullshit, man. ...
Jarell Martin Pulls Off In-Game East Bay Funk Dunk
You won't be faulted for thinking that you're watching a dunk contest here, but Jarell Martin managed to unleash this between-the-legs dunk during LSU's game against Florida today. As a native son of Oakland, I will always call this the East Bay Funk Dunk, so memorably coined by Isaiah "JR" Rider as...
Do Not Try And Take A Charge From DeMarcus Cousins
If you look closely, you can see Jae Crowder regret his decision to try and take a charge from a DeMarcus Cousins with 94 feet of built-up momentum, and begin to lean away to the side. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from getting a knee to his chest, or the ball viciously dunked on his head....
Stephen Curry Goes Coast-To-Coast & Around The World
Like Casey Kasem on American Top 40, Stephen Curry took a Spurs turnover coast-to-coast and around the world for a layup that absolutely delighted ESPN Deportes announcers Fernando Álvarez and Pablo Viruega....

West Virginia Knocks Off Kansas With Last Second Spin Move And Layup
Twenty third-ranked West Virginia knocked off eighth-ranked Kansas in Morgantown tonight, in a crazed ending that saw Juwan Staten pull off a nice spin move to get free for a layup, before Kansas missed their last second attempt. Just look at those West Virginians storm the court!...
Cool Dunks Look Even Cooler In Slow-Mo
There won't be any basketball until Thursday night (bad) because the NBA decided to give everybody a week long break (good) but without changing the start or end date of the season (dumb) so there are more back-to-backs and four-games-in-five-nights (very bad) this year....
Patrick Kane Turns Marc-Andre Fleury Into A Pile Of Limbs In Shootout
Fine, shootouts are bad at determining the outcomes of games, but let's shelf that argument for another time and instead watch Patrick Kane punk Marc-Andre Fleury with the same effort required to put together a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Actually, you probably exert more effort making a peanu...
Victor Oladipo Sings Horribly, Throws Down Tremendous Dunk
Victor Oladipo, the living and sole justification for the existence of the Orlando Magic, entered tonight's slam dunk contest in Brooklyn to a hilariously off-key rendition of the theme to "New York, New York" before throwing down what turned out to be a pretty damn good dunk in the opening round of...
Norman Powell Goes Through His Legs To Split Defenders, Dunks
Usually the dunks that get you jumping out of your seat happen because someone gets their head tomahawked on. So this effort from UCLA guard Norman Powell is a nice change of pace, a nice slam made impressive by the move that got Powell there. ...
Mo'ne Davis Hits Kevin Hart With The Spin-O-Rama
I'll forgive you for spending your Friday night doing something other than watching the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. In summary: some shots were made, some shots were missed, one of the teams won, and Little League phenom Mo'Ne Davis threw Kevin Hart into the blender and chopped him up....
Carlos Lobatón Scores Surprising Outside Of The Foot Olímpico
On Sunday we saw Michael Bradley pull off an Olímpico during a friendly, and just two days later it has already been topped. This is the Peruvian Carlos Lobatón hitting an outside of the foot Olímpico for Sporting Cristal, against Cienciano in the Torneo del Inca, Peru's version of the FA Cup....
Only Kevin Durant Can Make Dropping 40 Look This Easy
Before we get to the highlights of the hyper-efficient 19-shot, 40-point eruption Kevin Durant put on the Nuggets last night in Denver, let's make a deal. I'll grant that, yeah, it came against a terrible team whose own coach has accused it of tanking, if the sorts of readers who'd be inclined to d...
The Phoenix Suns Have Lost An Awful Lot Of Games On Buzzer Beaters
The Phoenix Suns are humming along okay, barely ahead of New Orleans and Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West. But they would be in a much better position if they hadn't gotten punched in the gut at the buzzer approximately a million times this season. A Blake Griffin three? An o...

FSU's Phil Cofer Posterizes Jahlil Okafor
Duke's Jahlil Okafor may be a candidate for player of the year, but Florida State's Phil Cofer just made him look ridiculous. The Blue Devils have come our poorly so far tonight in Tallahassee, for sure....

Man City Saves Draw With 92nd-Minute Free Kick Goal
James Milner helped Manchester City avoid an embarrassing home loss to lowly Hull City with this gorgeous stoppage-time free kick goal.
