Look At All These Beautiful Clutch Basketball Shots
Time for another edition of the quiz that we played here on Deadspin last Wednesday: “who had the best buzzer-beater tonight?” In order to reflect the nature of today’s choices, however, it will now be amended to “who had the coolest shot in the closing seconds of regulation last night?” (No, that i...

Jared Spurgeon Catches, Shoots Puck In Midair For Fantastic Goal

Steph Curry Ruthlessly Dunked On

Gerald Green Kissed The Sky On This Alley-Oop
Journeyman Celtics guard Gerald Green was once an otherwise ineffective player who was only notable for winning the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest with his famous cupcake dunk. Two years after that dunk, he was playing in Russia but he’s since returned and become a perfectly serviceable backup shooting guar...
Trust Me, This Is A Cool Badminton Highlight
Badminton, a sport where two (or four) players try to ceremoniously murder a fake bird, is much more prone to producing cool highlights than I thought. Take this insane rally between Mads Conrad-Petersen and Mads Pieler Kolding of Denmark and Japanese duo Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda. These badmi...
I Can't Stop Watching This Soccer Teen Destroy His Defender<em></em>
The name of the guy with the ball is Riccardo Orsolini, a 19-year-old who plays for Ascoli in Italy’s Serie B, and is supposedly on his way to Juventus. The name of the guy falling over doesn’t matter, because he has departed from this earth. He’s dead. RIP....

Aaron Ramsey Golazo Draws Arsenal Even
Aaron Ramsey helped wake up a pathetic-looking Arsenal early in the second half of the Gunners’ FA Cup match at Preston North End with this rocket golazo from just outside the box that left keeper Chris Maxwell hopeless.

Marco Belinelli's Incredible Off-The-Butt Buzzer-Beater Waved Off By Refs
Marco Belinelli very nearly scored the coolest buzzer-beater of this NBA season (and probably many others), but alas, it came too late. I get that the referees have to uphold “standards” and “fairness” and “the rules,” but this shot deserved better....
As Usual, Steph Curry's Making Outlandish Layups
Steph Curry’s having a big night for the Warriors as they play host to the Blazers. Portland shot their way into a halftime lead, but the Warriors put some distance into the Blazers in the third quarter with one of their characteristically sudden runs.

Auston Matthews Pulled Off A Video Game Assist In Real Life
You know that Auston Matthews can score. The Leafs center is on pace for 44 goals, which, if you throw out the guys who started in the WHA, would tie him for seventh all-time among NHL rookies. He didn’t score last night in a wild 6-5 loss to Washington, but one of his two assists was every bit as h...
