During last night’s NBA broadcast on TNT, Kevin Garnett’s Area 21 segment featured a performance by a squad of contortionists.

Looks Like The Dumbass Kings Almost Ruined The Trade Deadline
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has a thorough and fascinating tick-tock of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade deadline maneuvering, and you should gobble it up if you are into that sort of thing. But if you just want another chance to laugh at the Sacramento Kings, it’s also good for that....

Weird Statues Of The Olympics, Ranked

Getting Injured In An Olympics Practice Run Is True Sports Heartbreak
There is a new contender for the most brutal heartbreak possible in sports. It’s not a Game 7 loss or even an 0-16 season. It’s not finishing fourth in a medal event or suspiciously wiping out in consecutive short track races. It’s this: You train your whole life in a largely obscure sport that’s on...
Dogs That Should Have Won The Westminster Dog Show Instead Of This Silly Fluff Ball
Behold! The winner of the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show: none other than Flynn the bichon frise, pictured above.
