A Treasure Trove Of Very Sad 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers, now in year three of their shameless rebuild, are 0-15. Playing for an 0-15 team that ranks dead last in points per game and leads the league in turnovers can’t be much fun, so it’s no surprise that 76ers Players Looking Really Sad has started to become an internet genre of s...

How To Get Four Offensive Rebounds In 11 Seconds, Starring Andre Drummond
This sequence, from last night’s Pistons-Bucks game, is just hilarious. That’s Andre Drummond—the biggest, baddest rebounder in the league—deploying his brute strength, nose for the ball, and lack of finesse in a way that perfectly encapsulates him as a player....
Who Knew Attempted Intentional Fouls Could Be So Funny?
The Knicks attempted to come back late in the fourth against the Heat by intentionally fouling Hassan Whiteside, a 51 percent career free throw shooter. But Whiteside went 4-6 on free throws in the quarter, and the Knicks lost by 17....
Why Is The NBA Replay Center Watching <i>Animal House</i>?
Reader Chris caught this odd moment during today’s Sixers-Timberwolves matchup, as late in the game a play demanded review from the NBA’s replay center in Secaucus. The live camera shot from inside that center showed, strangely, the movie Animal House showing on several of the screens....

Apparently, You <i>Can</i> Wear A Hoodie Under An NFL Jersey
This is the NFL, where you will get fined for wearing the wrong cleats, or eye black, or headphones, or baseball cap. So when Packers WR James Jones played the entire 30-13 win over the Vikings with a hoodie on underneath his jersey, most everyone figured he’d have to cut a check to pay for his cozi...
Kobe Bryant Shocked That He's The Voice Of "Ball Movement Reason" For The Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are, unsurprisingly, very bad this year. They’re in the bottom seven in both defensive and offensive rating, Byron Scott doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing, and Kobe Bryant has been comically awful when he’s not taking mandated days off....
King Kristaps Porzingis Keeps Getting Better
The Rockets are really struggling to get wins thus far, but they’re still a dangerous team. And yet, the New York Knicks beat them in Houston last night, thanks to a historic game from one Kristaps Porzingis. He became only the second player ever to record at least 24 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocks, ...
Fire Extinguisher Becomes Weapon In Fight Between Robin Lopez And The Rockets Mascot
Robin Lopez does not like mascots. He has had an ongoing series of beeves with just about every mascot in the NBA, including our friend Clutch the bear here. You may recall the wonderfully cryptic interview he gave about his disdain for the Toronto Raptor, but he is by no means limited to anti-repti...
Cute Australian Kid Fights Through Hiccups To Perform National Anthem
7-year-old Ethan here was hit with a very untimely bout of the hiccups right before he was to sing the national anthem before an Australian Baseball League game between the Brisbane Bandits and the Adelaide Bite. Did he ask for a second to compose himself? Did young Ethan request some water?...
Oh Huh, The Dallas Mavericks Might Be Good Again
The Dallas Mavericks were lumped in with the Portland Trailblazers as teams most likely to drop out of the playoffs this year. They missed out on Texas natives DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge, then overpaid for Wesley Matthews. The Great Emoji War was not kind to them. And yet here they are, wi...
Wisconsin Cheerleaders Leave The Field After Home Fans Pelt Them With Snowballs (UPDATE: Refs Too)
Your team is hosting the #21 Northwestern Wildcats in a crucial late-season game. You’re understandably pumped and there’s snow on the ground. You should throw a snowball! But no Northwestern fans are in range. Should you throw it at the nearby cheerleaders?...

Steph Curry Atones For Turnover With Highlight Reel Steal And Alley-Oop
When any normal team goes down double digits early in the first quarter on the second night of a back-to-back, it looks like a schedule loss is imminent. When every one of your opponents wants to be the one to issue you your first defeat, you’re going to get a tough game every night. But the Warrior...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Just Keeps Getting Stronger
The above play isn’t the most remarkable moment from last night’s game between the Cavaliers and Bucks, but it’s one that says a lot about Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo’s continued growth as a player....
Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...
