Anthony Davis Volleyball Spikes Manu Ginobili's Shot Straight To Hell
If you put your ear close to your laptop speaker and turn the sound up high enough, you can actually hear the ball itself screaming in terror, just before Anthony Davis pounds it into the parquet at the speed of light. Great googly moogly. It actually traveled back in time on its way down. Manu's ...
Watch The Heat's Tribute Video For LeBron James From Christmas Day
OK, so a Thanks for chilling at the time share for a couple years tribute doesn't have the oomph as the Coming Home montages, but this is a nice little video from the Heat for yesterday's game. Then they went out and beat some ass in the first half, and held on in the second for a win. Welcome back,...
John Wall Is In Control
You may have skipped yesterday's Christmas Day game between the Knicks and Wizards, in part because the craptacular Knicks were involved, and in part because a certain level of pacing is required when there are 12 hours of basketball to watch. If you did skip it, you didn't miss the greatest game ev...
Aw Damn, Anderson Varejao Tore His Achilles And Is Out For The Season
Merry fucking Christmas, Cleveland. ...
Did The Raptors Screw Up The Launch Of Their New Logo?
Everything was odd about the Raptors' unveiling of their new logo, which arrived without warning or hype, and was revealed on Friday afternoon, to be swiftly forgotten with the weekend. But the weirdest part is that it's nearly Christmas, and you can't buy this new Raptors gear anywhere....
The Lakers Had Fun With Kobe Bryant Sitting Out
The Lakers ran the NBA-best Warriors out of the Staples Center, winning 115-105 even after taking their foot off the gas in the fourth, and they did it all without Kobe Bryant. And everyone not named Kobe Bryant seemed pretty darn happy about it....
Vlade Divac Half-Court Shot Is Lakers' Top Highlight Of The Season
Retired NBA star Vlade Divac hit a half-court shot to win $90,000 for charity at tonight's Warriors-Lakers game, a feat that will unquestionably go down as the top Lakers play this season....
Andrew Wiggins Dunking On Him Is A Metaphor For Kevin Love's Season
Andrew Wiggins had one of his best game as a pro tonight against the team that drafted him first and then traded him away, punctuating his 27 points with this thundering tomahawk jam that Kevin Love—who Wiggins was traded for—wanted no part of. Of course, the Timberwolves lost by 20 because they a...
Why Do NBA Teams Tank So Damn Much?
Before you head off to the airport and discover newfound levels of hatred for your fellow man, a quick programming note: I am off for the next week, which means half of this week and half of next week, because having Christmas and New Year's both fall on a Thursday makes everything weird. Anyway,...
Vince Carter's Old-Man Dunk Makes Me Happy
Let's be honest, this probably isn't a bloggable dunk if it had been done by, say, Terrence Ross or Gerald Green. A good-but-not-great dunk is a little more noteworthy, however, when it's 37-year-old Vince Carter throwing it down, showing us all that sometimes—even when you're a shell of your former...
Timofey Mozgov Had A Rough Night
Not only did the Nuggets get their butts kicked in Charlotte tonight, but Denver center Timofey Mozgov ended up bloodied after this one-two punch to the face:...

Josh Smith Has Been So, So, So, So Bad This Year
Stan Van Gundy has thrown Josh Smith into a volcano. Surely, this is the funniest thing that will happen in the NBA this year. But while we wait to see where Josh ends up next—the Rockets are apparently in the lead, but we all want him on the Mavs—let us remember that however well we think he might ...
Man, Did Anthony Davis Whomp The Shit Out Of The Thunder Or What
There's no one particularly SportsCenter-y highlight from Anthony Davis's 38-point, 12-rebound, three-block eruption against Oklahoma City last night. He didn't block all three shots in one leap; or tear the entire backboard off the stanchion with a dunk; or, like, spike a dead-on-arrival Kendrick ...
The Detroit Pistons Just Straight-Up Released Josh Smith
Damn, man. The word from ESPN's Marc Stein is that the Detroit Pistons have waived Josh Smith, as sure a sign as any that Stan Van Gundy and the front office are fed the fuck up with this current version of the team....
K.J. McDaniels's Mom Is The Best Sports Mom
The 76ers beat the Magic in Orlando last night, a fact that was of very little concern to Sixers shooting guard K.J. McDaniels's mom, who was in attendance and continued to demonstrate that she couldn't give less of a shit about the Sixers, and just wants to see her son ball....
Kobe Needs To Have A Seat
Kobe Bryant had himself an atrocious game against the Kings yesterday, scoring 25 while missing 22 of his 30 shots and committing nine turnovers in 38 minutes of sad, clunky run. Old Man Kobe maniacally shooting his team out of games is something that's been happening a lot this year, but yesterday ...
