LeBron James Returns To The Scene Of The Crime
Not content with a single rim murder this week, LeBron James tracked down the replacement and jammed it perhaps even more emphatically. Reports indicate that Richard Jefferson planned to serve as an accomplice but got rebuked strongly by James....
Daniel Murphy Freezes Yoenis Cespedes With The Ole Fake Throw Trick
NL hitting leader Daniel Murphy and his new buddies on the Washington Nationals are in New York to take on the Mets, for whom Murphy jerked some postseason dongs last year. Washington put a whooping on New York last night, and they’re up big tonight thanks to Matt Harvey’s bad start....
Vanderbilt Once Again Pulled Off The Rare Triple Steal
Auburn pitcher Justin Camp must have a notoriously slow windup or Ethan Paul must be an exceedingly brave baserunner, because during the seventh inning of this afternoon’s Auburn-Vanderbilt baseball game, Paul took off and stole home on Camp. Vanderbilt’s two other baserunners also managed to advanc...
That Time Steph Curry Stepped On Randy Foye's Soul
Randy, welcome to the Steph Curry Ruined My Life support group. Why don’t you grab a coffee and a donut and have a seat next to Paul Allen....
Steph Curry Will Extinguish You Before You Even Realize It
A few times in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors would make spurts of six or eight points, but never achieve sufficient escape velocity to get out of OKC’s orbit. This is rare, and they let the Thunder wander back into the game, which they eventually won. Not so much tonight. The...
Juan Lagares Did A Pretty Convincing Willie Mays Impression
When Willie Mays made The Catch in 1954, the New York Giants played in the Polo Grounds, which was a goddamn huge ballpark shaped like a horseshoe with a 483-foot center field fence. He had to get way the hell back there to make the over-the-shoulder grab. Given the dimensions of the ballpark, it’s ...
Just How In The World Did Andre Iguodala Hit This Layup?
Andre Iguodala is primarily a defender and a passer for the Golden State Warriors. He won the Finals MVP for a series in which he shot 10-for-28 37-for-71 after all. But this circus layup, my lord. Get a load of this puppy. The whole play was wild and weird, but the finish (which Shaq correctly call...
Here's A Fantastic New Angle Of Kris Jenkins's Tournament-Winning Buzzer-Beater
A nice reader sends us this amazing shot of Villanova forward Kris Jenkins’s game-winning buzzer-beater from the end of the NCAA championship game. We’ve all seen this shot from a dozen or so angles, but I don’t think this one has been out there yet....
Daniel Sturridge Scores Ridiculous Outside-Foot Curler
The Europa League final between Liverpool and Sevilla was a taut, back-and-forth affair, until Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge broke the game open in the 35th minute with this beautiful strike. Make sure you stick around for the behind-the-goal angle that shows just how much curl the outside of S...
Khris Davis Invented A Fantastic Walk-Off Celebration
Oakland A’s outfielder Khris Davis won his team a game in style last night, delivering an 8-5 victory with a walk-off grand slam. Just as good as the dinger itself was the celebratory move Davis busted out as he neared home plate....
Clayton Kershaw Is An Apex Predator
Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is on one of those runs that has baseball writers banging down the door of Elias Sports and plumbing the depths of Baseball Reference, all in an attempt to put whatever the hell it is he’s doing in context. Kershaw struck out 11 Angels in eight innings last ni...
Adrian Beltre Crushed A Huge Dinger From One Knee
Jesse Hahn served up a nice tasty meatball to Adrian Beltre tonight, who was so excited to sink his bat into it that he fell and had to steady himself while he was in the process of sending it 429 feet into the sky....
LeBron James Murders Rim
This evening, an innocent (maybe) basketball ring in Cleveland, Ohio was murdered by LeBron James, after he turned DeMarre Carroll into a garden statue and churned into the lane alone....
Here Are All 36 Goals From Gonzalo Higuaín's Amazing, Record-Breaking Season
As inarguably great as Gonzalo Higuaín has been for the better part of a decade now, he tends to be overlooked when it comes time to rhapsodize about the great pure strikers in the world. But after the season he just put together at Napoli, scoring 36 goals in 35 matches and thus breaking Serie A’s ...
Basketball Teen Tries To Stunt, Gets Righteously Owned
Damn, I guess Mark Jackson was right. Rude-ass Steph Curry has taught the teens of America that it’s cool to turn your back on a three and celebrate before the shot even goes in, and the teens are being punished for it:...
This Little A's Fan Is An Elite Left Fielder
The Oakland A’s, who are cool and good, beat the most pugilistic team in the AL West, the Texas Rangers, thanks to a great start from Sean Manaea and another dinger from Marcus Semien. Someone had to win, so that’s not that impressive, but the catch this little fan made, which was so good his dad sp...
Eden Hazard Totally Owned A Small Child
Now that he’s starting to feel like himself again, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard can’t seem to turn the ruthlessness off. Here is he owning his young son, Leo, after Chelsea’s season ending 1-1 draw with Leicester City....
