Chris Paul Does It All Himself
Final possessions don't get more predictable. In a tie game with 13 seconds left and Clippers ball, Chris Paul was going to take the last shot. Tony Allen was going to be the one tasked with denying him. Paul's and Allen's faces in this photo, taken one second post-swish, tells the story....
Here's Chris Paul's Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater (Sort Of)
This was exciting! And then a little less exciting when, after review, they added a tenth of a second back on the game clock and made the Grizzlies heave a desperation shot that obviously missed....
Blake Griffin Decides Finger Rolls Are Stupid, Throws Down Dunk
This play is impressive enough at full speed, thanks to Griffin's ability to momentarily transform into Clyde Drexler and go gliding through the sky for a breakaway dunk. But then you see the slow-motion replay, and you realize that Griffin was planning on laying that ball in, only to change his mi...
Matt Barnes Ruined A Perfectly Exciting Game With This Air Ball
Goddamnit, Matt Barnes. Last night's game between your Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks was really fun to watch! It featured multiple lead changes, Chris Paul and Dirk Nowitzki having big games, and O.J. Mayo forcing overtime with this crazy shot. And then you had to go and ruin everyt...
A Baseline's-Eye View Of Blake Griffin Dunking All Over The Knicks
Without Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, and especially Tyson Chandler, you knew this one was going to be ugly for the Knicks down low. Lob City didn't disappoint, with DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin going to town on a frontcourt consisting of Kurt Thomas, Kenyon Martin, and Marcus Camby (combi...
Someone Put A Jim Ross Call Over DeAndre Jordan's Murderous Dunk Over Brandon Knight
DeAndre Jordan: the gift that keeps on giving. ...
This DeAndre Jordan Alley-Oop Is Disgusting And We Should All Just Go To Bed Now
Honestly, this is just ridiculous. Chris Paul, from essentially the three point line, tosses an alley-oop that Deandre Jordan catches in the middle of the key and, well, yeah. It was authoritative, let’s say....
JaVale McGee Blocks Shot, Pretends To Sign Ball
Here's JaVale McGee's latest addition to his growing repertoire of awesome celebrations. We've seen the fingerstache and the finger-lickin'-good three-point celebration, and now we have this. After blocking a Matt Barnes layup attempt in the third quarter of last night's Clippers-Nuggets game, McG...
Jamal Crawford Goes Between-The-Legs To Set Up Blake Griffin Windmill Alley-Oop
Just watch it. I could describe it for you, put it in context and all the usual jazz, but that would be time spent not watching a between-the-legs, windmill alley-oop. Why would you want to waste your time like that?...

Watch Kobe Bryant Call Someone A "Fucking Asshole" During Last Night's Game
Here's Kobe Bryant, well on his way to suffering through yet another blowout, driving into the lane and making a nice kick-out pass during last night's Clippers-Lakers game. Unfortunately for Kobe, this play was canceled out by a three-second violation called against Dwight Howard. Fortunately for...
This Move By Rockets Rookie Donatas Motiejunas Belongs In An AND1 Mixtape
OK, so he probably didn't do this on purpose, but we still can't help but be impressed by Motiejunas's deployment of the old throw-the-ball-off-some-poor-sap's-shoulder move during last night's Rockets-Clippers game. Blinded by the brilliance of the trick, the Clippers' defenders could do nothing ...
After Suffering His Gruesome Injury, Shaun Livingston's Leg Was In Danger Of Being Amputated
Grantland's Jonathan Abrams has a written a great profile of Shaun Livingston, the former NBA phenom whose horrendous knee injury still haunts the league. It's about Livingston's slow slog back to the NBA, and it includes vivid anecdotes that remind us of Livingston's once-tremendous talent, as wel...
Blake Griffin Switches Hands Mid-Dunk
This is reminiscent of (but not nearly as pretty as) Michael Jordan switching hands in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals against the Lakers. It's not as fluid and obvious as Jordan, but that same hesitation is there and, anyway, Griffin's game has never been about pretty. It's about power and this is what...
Caron Butler's Block Takes Out Unsuspecting Ref
With first place in the West on the line, the Staples Center was as raucous as its been for a non-Lakers game in many, many, many years. (Many.) Caron Butler did his part, nearly forcing a turnover from Kevin Durant in the corner, and then sneaking in behind Serge Ibaka to land this swat block. It...
This Stephen Curry Bounce Pass Is Just Vicious
Earlier today Stephen Curry executed what can objectively be described as a stunning play during the Golden State Warriors 106-99 defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the fourth quarter, Curry fired a half-court bounce pass that split two defenders and caught Jarrett Jack in stride for a reverse...
In 1988, Donald Sterling Allegedly Told His Son To "Get Naked" In Front Of An Agent, Then Spanked Him
After we published a story Wednesday about the apparent drug-overdose death of Scott Sterling, the son of Clippers owner Donald Sterling, a reporter who covered the Clippers in the late 1980s wrote in:...
Donald Sterling's Son, Who Got Away With Shooting His Childhood Friend In 1999, Found Dead Of Apparent Drug Overdose
Scott Sterling, the 31-year-old son of Los Angeles Clippers owner—and gross weirdo slumlord—Donald Sterling, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose Tuesday night at a home in Malibu, Calif....
