José Fernández Is Hurt, And We Aren't Allowed To Love Anymore
José Fernández is 21 years old and unquestionably one of the most exciting players in baseball. I use "player" in place of "pitcher" with purpose, because it's not just Fernández's ability to mow down hitters that makes him so much fun to watch; it's the fact that he milks every ounce of fun he poss...

Paul Pierce Got What He Asked For, And LeBron Went Off
Before last night's Game 4 between the Nets and Heat, Paul Pierce announced that he would be guarding LeBron James. It was an inspired bit of gamesmanship from the wily veteran.

Nets Sell T-Shirts With Andrei Kirilenko Looking Like Martha Stewart
The Nets are selling some pretty interesting shirts at Barclays Center for Game 4 against Miami tonight.

Seantrel Henderson Failed A Drug Test At The Combine
Adam Schefter reports that former Miami offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson flunked a drug test at the scouting combine, testing positive for marijuana.

Yasiel Puig Hits Monster Home Run, Follows With Wonderful Bat Flip
In the fourth inning tonight in Miami, Yasiel Puig blasted a towering three-run homer to left-center, giving the Dodgers a 6-2 lead and Bill Plaschke a fainting spell. You see, Yasiel flipped his bat after his swing, signifying one of two things, depending on how many feet you have in the grave. It ...

Rockets Fans Go Through Emotional Wringer Of Parsons And Lillard Shots
This is heartbreaking and absolutely hilarious. These guys are so fired up for the Chandler Parsons shot that gave Houston the momentary lead in last night's game that it makes the reference-room silence after the Lillard buzzer-beater devastatingly funny. Unless you're a Rockets fan, obviously. ...

Front-Row View Of Damian Lillard's Buzzer-Beater Is Awesome
This Vine is awesome. It's a court-level view of Damian Lillard curling around a screen, clapping for the ball, and sinking the game-winning buzzer-beater from behind the arc against Houston last night.

Heat Echo Clippers Halfcourt Protest; Equipment Guy Picks Shirts Up
Before tonight's game against the Bobcats, the Miami Heat joined in L.A.'s silent protest by removing their shooting shirts and leaving them at mid court as a sign of player-wide solidarity against racism. No one told the equipment guy, though, so he immediately snapped into action and gathered up ...

LeBron Stares Down Michael Jordan On Fast-Break Dunk
Michael Jordan was sitting to the left of the Bobcats bench and partially obscured by the backboard from the first angle (thus the red arrow), but it sure as shit looks like LeBron stared MJ down as he took off for this dunk in the third quarter of Miami's 98-85 win over Charlotte....
