Nearly Perfect: Even On A Bad Night, Michael Jordan Could Still Fuck You Up
It is impossible to watch the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls without viewing them within the context of the contemporary Warriors surpassing their historic 10-loss season. It’s only natural to compare the two teams, and for the virtual entirety of the Bulls’ tenth loss of the season, home against the Indiana...

Kentucky Wildcats basketball player Derek Willis was arrested for public intoxication last weekend, according to WCPO, which got the dashcam video. Police arrived at the scene and found the 20-year-old passed out next to his car on the side of the road....
Nearly Perfect: The Night The Bulls Were Tired
On April 8, 1996, the Chicago Bulls trudged into the United Center on an unseasonably cold Monday night to face the Charlotte Hornets. They hadn’t lost at home in 44 games. The Hornets, meanwhile, entered the game as the East’s eighth seed, with a record that was just one game over .500....
Kyrie Irving Did Outrageous Basketball Stuff At My Tiny High School
Kyrie Irving did gorgeous, stupefying things on a basketball court Monday night, but for me and my oldest friends, it was just an elevated version of a familiar sensation, a shot of nostalgia via the NBA Finals.

From Refugee To Olympic Hopeful: Biya Simbassa's Excellent Life In The Land Of Opportunity
It was the Galen Rupp show at this past Sunday’s Portland Track Festival 5000 meters, as America’s greatest distance talent executed his signature 4600-meter cruise, capped by a crowd-pleasing shift into turbo for the final lap. Nice, though unsurprising. ...
Dangle Yourself From This Fitness Strap For Core Strength, And Also Pain
The gym looked like a South American greenhouse: paned with glass, painted in greens ranging from pastel to neon, studded with tropical foliage, an unevenly paved brick patio sprouting weeds, all surfaces blanketed in a thin film of dust. Everything was highly functional but had the vague look of di...
Mark Fuhrman Was the Biggest Winner In The O.J. Trial
O.J. Simpson is imprisoned and broke and universally accepted as a multi-murderer. That’s likely about the same condition he’d be in if he’d been convicted of killing Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. So a case can be made that, in the end, he got away with nothing....
Muhammad Wilkerson Is Extremely Fed Up With The Jets
New York Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson has been one of the most productive defensive players in the league for a few seasons now. He’s been trying to get a longterm contract from the Jets for two years now, but the only offer he has on the table right now is a franchise tag that would pa...
Gareth Bale Puts Wales Ahead Of England With 40-Yard Free Kick
England have dominated Wales in their Euro matchup, but find themselves behind at halftime thanks to this long-range bomb from Gareth Bale. It wasn’t a Robert Green situation, but Joe Hart really should’ve been able to hold onto that one. ...
Ben Simmons Reportedly Isn't Working Out For Any Teams, And He Damn Well Shouldn't
Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo revealed that former LSU forward Ben Simmons, the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft, declined the Sixers’ invitation to a pre-draft workout. There’s an impulse to point and laugh at the 76ers, whose shameless tanking has cost them a...
Jayson Werth Has A Profane, Shaggy Message For His Haters
The Washington Nationals took the rubber match against the Chicago Cubs this evening after an insane 12-inning affair that featured the Nationals going ahead in the 8th, losing the lead in the ninth, forcing extra innings, falling behind in the 12th, then finally walking off after Jayson Werth singl...
Ichiro Is The True Hit King And Pete Rose Can Eat Shit
Today, Ichiro Suzuki hit an eighth-inning double off of Fernando Rodney to the right field corner. He sent Giancarlo Stanton to third, and he trotted into second base easily, looking mildly annoyed more than anything before he briefly removed his batting helmet to salute the crowd. If you count his ...
Clayton Kershaw Walked A Guy, And It Was Bullshit
When we last checked in on Clayton Kershaw, we were marveling at his incomprehensible 22:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and wondering how long he would be able to maintain such an impossible level of excellence. Well, it’s been a month, and Kershaw’s strikeout-to-walk ratio is now 20:1, and so it’s offi...
Are You Ready For Unbearable Trade Rumor Season?
Listen, can you hear it? A faint whisper grows louder. “The Cubbies could use another bat on the bench.” it says. “Why not trade for Andrew McCutchen?”...

This Hilarious, Imaginative Icelandic Twitter Account Is The One To Follow For The Euros
“And now the unfortunate Portuguese will feel the mighty thunder of Þór’s Icelandic warriors” read the first tweet from Iceland’s English-language magazine, the Reykjavík Grapevine, during their coverage of their teeny tiny nation’s Euro 2016 match against Portugal. It didn’t take long after that fo...
"Haters Gonna Say It's Fake" Is A Very Good Meme
Nobody likes trick shot videos anymore. If you watch enough bros in backwards hats throw a football into a moving trash can or whatever and yell, “Bro, sick!” as the beat drops, you’ll eventually find yourself wanting to flee the earth to live in outer space. But thanks to the power of memes, trick ...
Nearly Perfect: Night Of The Raptor
Maybe it started when they named the team after a dinosaur in a Steven Spielberg movie, or when the first player they ever drafted refused to report, or when the team’s greatest player left the country to attend his college graduation on the morning of the biggest game in franchise history. But if y...
