Get Ready For The NBA Tanking Campaign Of A Lifetime
By the time the NBA’s All-Star break usually rolls around, the standings are more or less set. It’s typically obvious which four or so teams will be contending for a championship, and it’s also apparent who will be spending the rest of the year in the toilet, tanking for superior lottery odds and dr...

The Dunk Gods Giveth, The Dunk Gods Taketh Away
Sunday’s big Cavs-Celtics tilt in Boston is not shaping up how you might’ve reasonably imagined: The Cavs, with four brand new guys making their first ever appearances in Cavs jerseys, are mostly giving the business to the Celtics. That business featured this highlight, when J.R. Smith smushed the b...
Old Geezer Dirk Nowitzki Dunked Himself Onto The Injured List
Old, old man Dirk Nowitzki had himself a bit of a throwback game against the Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night.

We Got A Minor-League Hockey Goalie Fight

What Comes After Kristaps For The Knicks?
What Giannis Antetokounmpo did to the Knicks was cool as hell and involved leaping over an entire man. What Giannis’s torso did to the Knicks, due to purely incidental contact, was as ghastly as that was cool: Kristaps Porzingis landed awkwardly after dunking over him and tore his left ACL....
Giannis Jumped Over A Guy And It Ruled
It’s been a sad night for the Knicks and for Michigan basketball players, so why wouldn’t Giannis Antetokounmpo make things even more intense by jumping the fuck over Tim Hardaway Jr. on a fast-break alley-oop? Honestly, he slammed it so hard that nobody anywhere can feel anything other than breathl...

Kristaps Porzingis Helped Off Court After Ugly Knee Injury [UPDATED]
Kristaps Porzingis left tonight’s game against the Bucks in the second quarter after suffering an apparent knee injury while dunking on Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Cyle Larin's Transfer Debacle Demonstrates Once Again How Absurd MLS Rules Are
The raw facts of the transfer of Orlando City’s Cyle Larin to Beşiktaş in Turkey were bizarre enough in their own right that you’d have to go to some lengths to avoid noticing that they pointed up one of the most obvious aspects of American soccer, which is somehow puzzlingly controversial when stat...
