5-Foot-5 High Schooler Dunks On Two Defenders From Right In Front Of The Free Throw Line
Melvin Lee of Wisconsin’s Riverside University High School threw down one of the best dunks I’ve ever seen someone under six feet throw down the other day. Lee was going up into the trees from only a few steps in front of the free throw line, but he jammed it home with authority....
The Warriors Were No Match For Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers put a royal whooping on the Golden State Warriors last night up in Portland. Yes, the Warriors were uncharacteristically sloppy and bad. Sure, they fumbled away 13 turnovers in the third quarter alone, the most in any quarter in any game since 2008. Their...
Marshawn Lynch Wouldn't Stop Moving
Marshawn Lynch is retiring, and looking at the trajectory of his NFL career, it’s somewhat of a miracle that he made it this far. Before he was chewing Skittles and playing video games with Conan O’Brien, the then-Bills running back was on his way to being another example of a player with immense ta...
Witness Young Dylan Larkin Shooting Pucks In A Basement And Getting Amped About His Sick Snipes
Before Dylan Larkin was a fresh-faced rookie for the Red Wings, he was “D-Boss,” an even more fresh-faced kid hanging out in an unfinished basement with his friend, Evan “EG Slayer” Gizinski. The two teens recorded a video of themselves sniping pucks and reacting to their own filthy shots....

<i>SNL</i> Lampoons Cam Newton & Peyton Manning's "Ebony And Ivory"
Cam Newton is the NFL’s newest MVP, and yet as much media coverage this season has been dedicated to his identity and expressions of it as it has his achievements on the field. Saturday Night Live took a run at the Panthers quarterback—and his Broncos counterpart, Peyton Manning—on tonight’s episode...
What Time Does 'What Time Does The Superbowl Start?' Start?
At some point tomorrow, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos will play against each other in the Super Bowl. However, a much more widely-contested game, between, oh, every publication, has already started. ...
Von Miller And Josh Norman Play <i>Doom</i> With Conan O’Brien And It’s Great
If we’ve learned anything from Conan O’Brien’s new Super Bowl tradition of picking up the sticks with two of the big game’s participants, it’s that nothing lowers the guard of famously media-averse pro athletes like ruthlessly murdering animated sprites in video games. Josh Norman and Von Miller pic...
DIII Basketball Player Wins Two Games In A Row With Deep Buzzer-Beaters
How’s your week going? It’s probably not much compared to the week Wisconsin Lutheran junior guard Tanner Schieve’s had. ...
Kevin Love Finally Got In The Picture, And The Cavs Are Clicking
With last night’s victory against the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 5-1 since David Blatt was fired and Tyronn Lue was named head coach. After the game, Kevin Love punctuated his team’s string of successes with this Instagram post:...
The Cavaliers Are Scary On The Fast Break

David Blatt Was In Way Over His Head

All That's Left Is For The Warriors And Spurs To Rumble

Marshawn Lynch may have had a disappointing season that ended with a six-carry, 20-yard effort in yesterday’s loss to the Panthers, but he’s still capable of delivering some big hits....
Damian Lillard Went Nuclear On The Thunder
The Portland Trail Blazers were losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a score of 103-95 with just over three minutes left to play last night. The Blazers won the game 115-110, because Damian Lillard lost his mind....
What's Going On With Marshawn Lynch?
The Seahawks traveled to Minnesota last night in advance of their playoff game with the Vikings, but Marshawn Lynch did not go with them. Lynch hasn’t played since getting abdominal surgery in November, but he practiced all week with the team up in Seattle, and as of Friday morning, looked like a lo...
Steph Curry Is At It Again
Portland actually filed their paperwork correctly and had C.J. McCollum around for last night’s game against the Warriors, but, yeah, no, Golden State rolled easily. That’s thoroughly unsurprising, but this cool little alley-oop from Steph Curry to Andrew Bogut kind of was....
Marvin Lewis Is Probably Boned (Again)
The Bengals looked like they’d nab a first-round bye in the playoffs, until Andy Dalton broke his thumb. Cincinnati finished with a 12-4 record and the third seed. The team hoped that Dalton could come back for the postseason, but today, the quarterback was officially ruled out for Saturday’s game....
Bob Ryan Calls Mark Jackson A "Bible-Pounding Phony"
Former Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan was a guest on the Dan Le Batard Show this morning, and was asked if the Golden State Warriors turning into world-beaters right after firing head coach Mark Jackson was an indictment of Jackson’s coaching abilities.
