Sports Columnist Loses His Mind Over Derrick Rose

All Hail Kobe Bryant And The Lakers, Lords Of Madness
First things first: You don't get to miss more shots than anybody else in NBA history by being bad at basketball. That record would be Larry Hughes's if he didn't, y'know, suck at everything, and in this sense, the all-time missed-shots record is a perverse monument to Kobe Bryant's greatness. He ...

LeBron Loses Triple-Double After Being Mistaken For Tristan Thompson

Turns out, all it took to get the Lakers off the hook was nearly an entire week off to prepare to host one of the most dysfunctional offensive teams in basketball. Should be a pretty repeatable fo...
Mike McCarthy Trips Over A Cord, Loses It

Ridiculously-Dressed Drake Pleased By Monster James Johnson Dunk
