Larry Sanders Returns To Bucks, Doesn't Explain Much
Bucks center Larry Sanders, who had been away from the team since Dec. 26 due to "personal reasons" and was reportedly considering quitting basketball altogether, returned to the team last night and watched the Bucks' game against the Suns while sitting on the bench in street clothes. Sanders did sp...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Basically Dunked A Freaking Skyhook
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar perfected the hook shot and made it unstoppable, releasing it so far from the basket and so high into the air that it was coined the skyhook. Or so we thought, until Giannis Antetokounmpo showed off the next phase of its evolution against the Suns tonight: the skydunk. Think abou...
Something's Up With Larry Sanders

Giannis Antetokounmpo Can Cover A Lot Of Ground With Just Two Steps
Last night Giannis Antetokounmpo pulled off the move that is quickly becoming his signature, gathering his dribble behind the three-point line, taking two steps, and laying the ball in. That is at least 22 feet covered in just two steps, with Antetokounmpo using his incredibly long limbs to make p...
Monta Ellis's Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Was Bananas
I think it's time to admit that there probably isn't another player in the NBA who is better at hitting reckless, off-balance buzzer-beaters than Monta Ellis. Almost two years after hitting a game-winner so absurd that Ellis himself had to flee from it, the Mavericks shooting guard once again did hi...
Watch Jason Kidd Play Mind Games With Joe Johnson

Giannis Antetokounmpo Has A New Weapon
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been having a quiet but solid year as the Bucks' 6-foot-11 guard-forward hybrid. He's averaging 12 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes per game—good numbers that any 19-year-old in just his second NBA season would be proud of—but what's more impressive is how quickly Ante...

Sad NBA Promotion: Bucks Send Ping Pong Balls To Fans
I don't think I understand this. The Milwaukee Bucks, who finished with the worst record in the NBA this season, sent these ping pong balls to a select group of fans because...something....
Pacers Bench All Five Starters, Still Beat Bucks
When Pacers coach Frank Vogel announced he would sit all five starters for last night's game against the Bucks, it was like a thought experiment come to life. Can a good team's second unit beat the starters of a historically awful team? It was close, but...yes!...
On The Anniversary Of His Death By DeAndre, Brandon Knight Dunks
One year ago last night, Brandon Knight got in the way of a DeAndre Jordan dunk and basically died. We haven't seen much of Knight since that fateful evening, but last night he marked the anniversary of the dunkpocalypse with a half-decent throwdown of his own. For that, we feel like he deserves a ...
O.J. Mayo Ejected For Punching Greg Stiemsma
