Nuggets Announcer Praises Timofey Mozgov's "One Hand Jobby"
Nuggets center Timofey Mozgov had a fantastic game last night, finishing with 17 points and 20 rebounds against the band of desiccated corpses that currently makes up the Nets roster. But none of Mozgov's points were as impressive as the two he scored here, after executing a smooth "one hand jobby."...
Avery Bradley Knocks Down Astounding Behind-The-Backboard Shot
Look at Avery Bradley putting up a nice highlight for the Celtics! With the shot clock winding down, Bradley salvaged Jared Sullinger's airball, sinking a fantastic shot from behind the backboard to avoid a 24-second violation. He didn't even need a helpful bounce....
Paul George Was Out Of His Mind Last Night
Just in case you were not yet aware, Paul George is the truth. The Pacers' budding superstar proved as much last night, when he went for 43 points in a 106-102 loss to the Blazers, a game that ended with George hitting five three-pointers in the last three minutes of regulation as he mounted a furi...

This Is Why We Love Nate Robinson
Cross half court, call for the ball (preferably begin before actually crossing half court). Wander over to the sideline, immediately call for the ball again. Clap your hands while continuing to call for the ball. Confuse Ty into giving you the ball, incredulously. Wave off any assistance from teamm...

Long Snapper Trick-Shot Video Knows Your Opinion Of Long Snapping
You know those videos that come into your life under a headline like, "I Can't Stop Watching This Whatever Do Something"? This video of Lawrence University long snapper John Doran is not that. I can stop watching his trick shot video. It's not terribly difficult to pull myself away from it at all. I...

LeBron James Airballed A Layup
Sure, Dwyane Wade dunked like he hasn't in years, and LeBron hit the game winner, but that isn't so uncommon. LeBron airballing a layup, though? Weird! And just delightful. ...
Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times. Midshipmen coach Ken Niumatalolo would have preferred Reynolds stopped at three, because his fourth allowed a San Jose State comeback that forced Navy to win in triple o...
But Seriously, What Was Southampton's Keeper Doing On This Goal?
Southampton keeper Artur Boruc received a pass in the 22nd minute against Arsenal today. Unable to pick up the ball, he then attempted to, like, dribble Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud or something, for some reason. It didn't work....
Clarke MacArthur Goes Between His Legs For A Beautiful Assist
The Ottawa winger threaded his own needle—and a pair of Wild players—to set up Kyle Turris's shorthanded goal. Though Minnesota won, and MacArthur didn't get onto the scoresheet beyond this assist, it was pretty enough to get him named the game's second star....
A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Rajon Rondo Examines Stat Sheet, Does Not Like What He Sees
The Celtics got trounced by the Rockets last night. I could reel off a bunch of stats that demonstrate just how bad of a beating they received, or I could just show you this clip of Rajon Rondo examining a stat sheet during the game. ...

Jabari Parker finished last night's game against East Carolina with 21 points, nine rebounds, and six blocks.

Fat Guy Fake Punt Hurdling Touchdown!
Kent crushed Ohio 44-13 in Athens tonight, but the highlight for all who tuned in for #MACtion was this 61-yard fake punt by Nate Terhune, a 6'4" 265 lb. defensive lineman who played up-back on the punt team and made the most of his opportunity—hurdling a Bobcat return teamer en route to the end z...
