Thunder Fan Gets All Skeeved Out After Touching Kris Humphries
In case you didn't know, sweaty athletes are really sweaty, so we don't recommend reaching out to touch them as they walk by. Right around the 10-second mark of the video above, keep your eye on the woman in the blue shirt. Much like Kim Kardashian, she seems eager to get a piece of Kris Humphries...
Kendrick Perkins Is Angrily Demanding That You Buy A Cubic Zirconia-Encrusted Thunder Pendant, So Get On That
Kendrick Perkins took some time out of his busy basketball schedule to star in a Tim and Eric sketch advertisement for a local jewelry store in Oklahoma City, Mitchener Farrand Jewelers—"the diamond guys on May" and your "official" NBA jewelry store in Oklahoma City....
Here Is A Gif Of Wade Boggs Attempting To Dance At Last Night's Oklahoma City Thunder Game
We're not sure why Wade Boggs decided to drop by last night's Spurs-Thunder game, but we're glad he did. In the fourth quarter, just before a Russell Westbrook free throw, the Fox Sports Oklahoma cameras found the baseball Hall of Famer in the stands—after which he boogied a bit in his seat....
Kendrick Perkins's Follow-Through Is Just The Best
This Youtube video is titled "Kendrick Perkins YOLO follow through," and I honestly can't think of a better description. Perk doesn't take a lot of jumpers (he made two in last night's win over San Antonio, fulfilling Mayan prophecy), so when he found himself in space for his second, he wasn't abo...
The Wizards Could Have Had James Harden, But The Wizards Are Not Allowed To Have Nice Things
Fresh off finishing 20-46 last year, the Wizards decided to take a somewhat unconventional route to respectability: Rather than completely (that is to say, intentionally) tanking, clearing the roster of onerous contracts, and rebuilding through the draft, they opted to take a "win now" approach, by ...
A Skeptic's Guide To The 2012 Heisman Trophy
Remember the lullaby afternoons of September, when we all figured we'd see a Heisman winner who merited the award? Maybe a Geno Smith, slinging the ball all over the yard, or even a Matt Barkley, who despite being named after Big Bird's dog had the right pedigree and weaponry (Robert Woods and Marqu...
Kevin Durant Almost Exploded The Universe On This Missed Dunk
For my money, a thunderous, rim-rattling, shockwave-inducing dunk is best when it comes on the road. At home, the crowd will erupt, but they'll erupt for anything: a layup, cheerleaders, a taco cannon, whatever, they're already primed to react. But if you can get a reaction in a visiting arena, wh...
Beer Of The Week: Coney Island Human Blockhead
First time I ever stepped onto Coney Island was to cover the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is a lot of capital letters to ascribe to an event in which men and women choke down mountains of tube steaks on national television, yes, but indeed an event you should attend to if you consid...
The Bobcats Were So, So Awful Last Night
While Raymond Felton was ruining the end of an otherwise good Nets-Knicks game for a national audience, the Charlotte Bobcats were quietly having a statement game of their own—plunging deep into the depths of basketball shittiness during a 114-69 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Going into the ga...

More Than Anything, Kendrick Perkins Just Wants To Be Coached
Thunder coach Scott Brooks really knows how to get through to his players. Perkins's reaction really is priceless, likely because we wish more basketball players actually reacted with such authenticity....
James Harden And Jeremy Lin Are Free And Really Fun To Watch
Prior to this season, James Harden and Jeremy Lin were two players who'd never had the chance to write their own stories. In New York, Lin was pressed into service as both a humble standard-bearer and a basketball messiah, one whose actual abilities were obscured by the phenomenon he created. In Okl...

Texas, A 63-21 Loser To Oklahoma, Still Has Mack Brown Signed Through 2020
The Texas-Oklahoma game today was as lopsided as a wink. The Sooners tripled up the Longhorns, 63-21, a score that almost looks like a mercy killing after a 36-2 halftime advantage....
