The Bulls Win 3OT Classic Against Nets And What The Hell Is This Photo
As we noted a couple of times (Nate Robinson scuffling! Nate Robinson banking in a 20-foot runner!) this afternoon the Bulls' 142-134 triple overtime win over the Nets was straight-up bananagrams and what on earth is happening in this AP photo....
The Final Seconds Of Overtime In Chicago Were Nuts

C.J. Watson Hits Halftime Buzzer-Beater, Walks Off Court
He actually walked off before the shot even went in. The buzzer sounds with the ball still in the air and he just heads for the locker room. Once it goes in he hops out of the picture....
Kris Humphries And Kim Kardashian Are Finally Divorced
This one's for everyone who laughed about Kris Humphries's and Kim Kardashian's sham marriage. Sure, she filed for divorce after 72 days. But because of their drawn-out legal battle, which finally ended today, they were husband and wife for one year, eight months, and nine days. That's 618 days of t...
Jay-Z Will Sell His Nets Stake To Become An NBA Agent
Jay-Z's expansion into the sports agency biz—announced with the signing of Robinson Cano last week—isn't going to stop at baseball. The whole point of putting Jay-Z's name on the enterprise is to use him as a lure for starstruck players, and nowhere is his brand stronger than in basketball. But if h...
Reggie Evans Pulls Out Own Tooth, Grosses Out Ian Eagle And Jim Spanarkel
In the third quarter of Brooklyn's 105-96 win over Charlotte Saturday night, Reggie Evans's face ran into Michael Kidd-Gilchrest's head, jarring loose a tooth. ...
At The End Of The First Quarter Last Night, Deron Williams Had Made More Threes Than The Wizards Had Field Goals
A few mind-blowing stats from Deron Williams's record-setting shooting night, in which he hit nine threes in one half (the record) and 11 overall: At the end of the first quarter, he had hit 8/9 shots, and was 7/7 from downtown. The Wizards, at that point, were six of 24 from the field, and had mi...
The Lakers Tricked The Hornets Into Defending The Wrong Basket
We've all tried this one, right? Line up on the wrong side of the ball so the defenders get confused and try to gain position on the wrong basket? And we stopped trying it after realizing that it never, ever works, right?...
Joe Johnson Makes Two Perfect Last-Second Shots In One Game
There are two types of great buzzer-beaters. The first kind is the end result of a well-executed inbounds play, one that involves screens and misdirection and ends with a shooter getting open just long enough to rise up for a clean shot at the rim. (See: LeBron James saving Cleveland's season in G...
God Bless The Brooklyn Nets' PR Staff
Numbers are all the rage in sports today. Basketball's no exception. Every well-intentioned team has snapped up a stathead or several and stuck 'em in the front office. But we assume they don't fraternize too much with the public relations types. If they did, we wouldn't get nuggets like this....
Now Hanging In The Barclays Center: Banners With NYC's Crime Stats
Some immortal names hang in the rafters of the Nets' new arena: Drazen Petrovic, Julius Erving, Buck Williams, 419 People Murdered In New York City In 2012. You know, the greats....
Javale McGee Throws Down Three-Quarter-Court Alley-Oop
Is it a dunk? Is it just a really emphatic layup? It doesn't matter. It's Javale and that's all that ever matters....
Sports In The Storm: The Knicks Were Stuck In Minnesota, The Spurs Were Stuck In Detroit, And The Bruins Had To Reschedule
You are not the only one somewhat inconvenienced by the white stuff on the ground outside: The Knicks spent last night stuck in Minneapolis, the Spurs couldn't escape from Detroit until an hour ago, and the Nets had to take a train:...
Kobe Doin' Young Kobe
This was the moment at the Barclays Center last night that the entire upper deck—populated by significantly more Lakers than Nets fans, already—erupted in united awe. My friend leaned into a stranger, hand on his head, and the guy next to me yelled out the universal cry that stands for holy-shit-d...
The New Orleans Hornets Are Officially The New Orleans Pelicans
We've been on board the Pelicans bandwagon from the very beginning, but the team made it official this afternoon. Starting next season, the Hornets are no more (unless the Bobcats become the Hornets. Even then the Pelicans will keep the Hornets' pre-2002 history. It's all very confusing.)...
J.R. Smith Reminds Kris Humphries That Kanye West Is Now Kim Kardashian's Sperm Donor, Just In Case He Forgot
The Nets beat the Knicks 88-85 tonight, but we're not here for that. We're here to talk about Poor Kris Humphries. The guy can't even talk shit after a win without getting the whole fake-marriage-to-a-reality-show-fame-whore deal thrown in his face....
