When Kristaps Porzingis Is Feeling Himself, Look The Fuck Out
If year one of the Kristaps Porzingis Experience was about promise, year two has been about swagger. The 7-foot-3 Latvian showed as a rookie that he belonged in the NBA, that he can fit in, that neither the pace of play nor the opposing talent were too much for him to handle. Early into his sophomor...

Rudy Gobert Gives Kristaps Porzingis Some Harsh Life Lessons

Kris Bryant Smiling Through The Final Out Is My Favorite Thing
I don’t really have anything add to this video of 24-year-old Kris Bryant grinning like an idiot as he made the throw to first to win the World Series, only a sincere wish that everyone reading this gets to experience a moment of similar anticipatory joy in their lives, and the observation that it i...

This evening, NBA TV reporter and NBA Inside Stuff host Kristen Ledlow posted a short note on her Twitter and Instagram pages saying she was robbed at gunpoint yesterday. She says that she’ll be taking a social media hiatus for a bit....
Can Extreme Endurance Races Be Mainstreamed?
Runners competing in the second annual Ultra Fiord 100 trail run in Patagonia waded through a chest-deep glacial stream early on, then faced hours and miles of steep, technical climbs, harrowing descents, freezing temperatures, thigh-deep mud, leg-snapping boulder fields, blowing snow and fierce win...
Kris Dunn Gave An Emotional, Tear-Filled Interview After Getting Drafted
Kris Dunn, who was picked fifth overall by the Timberwolves this evening, had an incredibly hard life growing up. He and his brother lived in Alexandria, Virginia with their mother as children, and often had to fend for themselves while she was in prison. USA Today spoke with him about his childhood...
Sidney Crosby's Called Play Worked To Perfection
The Penguins have been the clear better team in both Finals games, and they’re up two games to none. But it doesn’t always work that way; the sample size of a series is too small for puck justice to win out every time, and indeed, both games have been decided by one goal. Individual plays carry the ...

Things Are Getting Nasty In Caps-Penguins
Washington and Pittsburgh is a hell of a matchup under any circumstances, but this year—with the Capitals the Presidents’ Trophy Winners and the Penguins the league’s hottest team over the second half—many (bettors, anyway) have this pegged as an early Stanley Cup Finals. And it’s only the second ro...

Kris Letang Tried To Chop Viktor Stalberg's Head Off With His Stick
Kris Letang is clearly excited for Game of Thrones to come back this weekend, because he used his hockey stick like a goddamn battle ax here and went straight for the jugular. The Penguins beat the Rangers 3-1 on goals and 1-0 on attempted decapitations....
Villanova's Buzzer-Beater Required A Mop And A Choice
Past results do not guarantee future performance, the SEC forces funds to tell investors. It’s good advice. But in a final two games in which Villanova shot an unreal 63-of-97 from the field, if it came down to one shot—if it came down to Kris Jenkins with an open look—the Wildcats had to feel prett...
Here's Every Angle And Every Call Of Villanova's NCAA Tournament-Winning Buzzer-Beater

Villanova's Little Guys Dominated UNC's Big Guys
This year’s NCAA Tournament opened with as crazy of an opening weekend as you’ll ever see, before settling into a boring procession of blowouts, which abruptly ended tonight, when Villanova beat North Carolina in a genuinely bonkers National Championship game. Hell, Kris Jenkins’ game-winning buzzer...
Someone Please Save Kristaps Porzingis From Kurt Rambis
If you’ve been watching Knicks games lately, you’ve no doubt noticed a depressing development: Rookie Kristaps Porzingis, once the boy king of New York, has been playing very poorly. This downturn in production surely has something to do with the young player hitting a rookie wall, but it also has a...

Marquette Fan Makes Good On Promise To Pay Kris Dunn $10 To Miss A Free Throw
On the grand spectrum of things to yell at an athlete, “I will literally give you $10 if you miss this shot” falls squarely on the funny side. The only way to make that heckle even better is to follow through on the promise, which is exactly what Marquette fan Jamey Schilling did:...
