J.R. Smith Torches Anthony Bennett For Nasty Dunk
Here we have J.R. Smith turning Cavs rookie Anthony Bennett from player to spectator. First, he blows by Bennett with a pretty gnarly crossover and then continues on to the rim where he finishes it off with a windmill dunk. Clean, quick and decisive. All in all, it's a pretty nifty little bit of hu...

High Schooler Hits 80-Foot Buzzer-Beater To Send Game Into OT
This is Temidayo Yussuf of St. Joseph Notre Dame High School hitting one of the most ridiculous shots you will ever see.

Kevin Durant And LeBron James Turn An NBA Game Into A Rucker Park Duel
Last night's matchup between Kevin Durant and LeBron James didn't provide all of the drama we had been hoping for—a fourth quarter that starts with one team holding a 19-point lead will suck the air out of any game—but we were treated to a particularly enjoyable sequence late in the third quarter, ...

Check Out Daniel Sturridge's Outrageous Rainbow Shot Golazo

Kevin Durant Is Inevitable
The Thunder played a basketball game last night, and that means that Kevin Durant did something amazing.

Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
There are so many ways Anthony Davis can humiliate a man. Usually, he does it by extending those stupid-long arms across every inch of airspace over the basketball court, sending away any shot his opponents are foolish enough to send in his direction. But Anthony Davis can also make people look stu...

Markel Brown Makes Steal, Unleashes 360 Dunk On West Virginia

Poor Bastard Goalie Gives Up OT Winner While Chatting With Fans
Via Puck Daddy, the video is terrible, but it represents the only proof that this actually happened. A college club goalie gave up a game-winning, 200-foot goal because he was off in the corner, just shooting the shit with some fans....

Sad Manchester United Allow Elderly Samuel Eto'o To Score Hat Trick
No one would have imagined this before the season started: Chelsea demolishes Manchester United 3-1, and the only remotely surprising thing is that Samuel Eto'o—a thousand years old, a chronic misfirer—was the man who knocked in the goals. And yet that's how it is....
