Jermaine Kearse's Insane Super Bowl Catch, In Extreme Slow Motion
Jermaine Kearse completed one of the wildest catches in Super Bowl history, one that won't be remembered due to the inexplicable decision that followed. Here's our attempt to make the memory last just a bit longer; we recommend watching it in HD and fullscreen, just to take advantage of all the fa...
Boris Diaw Buzzer-Beater Attempt Beans Gregg Popovich
It's probably a bad idea to hit your coach in the head with a basketball, but somehow that happened tonight as Boris Diaw's poor attempt at a first-half buzzer-beater instead hit coach Gregg Popovich in the head as Pop headed toward the locker room, no doubt disgusted by the Spurs' poor play. Pop di...

Benzema Golazo Puts Real Madrid Truly Out Of Reach
Karim Benzema's gorgeous 76th-minute goal put Real Madrid up 4-1 on Real Sociedad in a powerful performance that suggests Los Blancos won't really miss the currently-banned Cristiano Ronaldo if he seeks bluer waters. ...
UMass Player Completely Blindsided By Crushing Screen
UMass guard Trey Davis is probably still upset with his teammates this morning, because not one of those assholes thought it would be a good idea to call out the screen and save him from getting planted into the hardwood by Kendall Pollard. ...

Atlético-Barcelona Game Goes Insane When Player Throws Shoe At Ref
Non-stop action from kickoff, an opening-minute goal from the all-of-the-sudden rejuvenated Fernando Torres, a dubious penalty call, two more incidents that could've easily led to pens, and five total goals made for a bonkers first half in today's Atlético Madrid-Barcelona Copa del Rey match. Then...
Charlie Coyle Stuns Edmonton With Breakaway, Soft-Handed Goal
The body control from Charlie Coyle is my favorite part of his game-winning goal in the third period against the Oilers. His entire body is beginning to whip around the net like he's going to attempt a wraparound, but he somehow manages to tap the puck backwards and then throw his stick out to knock...
What The Hell Did Stephen Curry Just Do With This Pass?
The headline isn't an attempt at hyperbole but a legitimate question. I've watched this on replay four or five times now and I still can't figure out how Steph Curry smoothly pulled this off. I'm sitting on my couch trying to swing an imaginary ball from my left hand to my right and then over my s...
Jamal Crawford Turns Sure Turnover Into Behind-The-Back Assist
Jamal Crawford had a Jamal Crawford game tonight, dropping 21 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter on steady diet of three-pointers as he led the Clippers from eight points down to a 102-98 win over the Nuggets. But his most amazing play wasn't a basket, but this crazy save and assist to Matt Ba...
OKC Broadcasters Shill For Lotto, Your Family Not Dying From Tornadoes
This is just the worst deal, man. Worst of all the deals.

I Can't Stop Watching John Wall Chop The Nuggets With This Slick Pass
John Wall was at his very best last night in Denver: hanging 19 points and 16 assists on the Nuggets, snatching the endgame away with a flurry of buckets and assists, doing that John Wall thing where the court and the basket and all the players start to seem like a big circuitboard and the ball is...
LeBron Is Starting To Look Like His Old Self Again
LeBron James has been back in the Cavaliers' lineup for seven games since taking an eight-game hiatus to rest his ailing knee and back. He's taken the team on a six-game winning streak since coming back, with the most impressive win of the streak coming yesterday against a desperate, relatively full...

With his first career triple-double during today's nationally televised Heat-Bulls game, the country got a glimpse of what Hassan Whiteside's been showing Miami fans this season. For those who missed it, here's how he accumulated the most impressive of his stats, a team-record 12 blocks....
This Shootout Goal In The KHL Skills Competition Is Just Filthy
Holy shit this is dope. Nikita Gusev's little twirling move looks more like ballet than hockey, and not only does it look really cool, it works. Here's a GIF:...

Wilfried Bony Wrecks Defender With Nutmegging Elastico
Technically, this Malian defender did well not letting Ivory Coast's Wilfried Bony score here, but while sitting on his ass after Bony embarrassed him by flicking an elastico between his legs, I wonder if the guy thought he'd have been better off letting the striker walk on by....
