Andre Iguodala Hits Shoeless Three
This game has been too entertaining to take much time off for highlights, but Andre Iguodala hitting a three sin zapato is worth another look....
J.R. Smith Has The NBA By The Shoelaces
Hello again, casual basketball fan! The NBA Finals begin tonight. The heavily favored Golden State Warriors will face the Cleveland Cavaliers; league MVP Steph Curry and rising star Klay Thompson will take on the immortal LeBron James and whiz-kid Kyrie Irving. The Warriors will seek their first tit...
Draymond Green Tweeted Some Mean Things About LeBron A Few Years Ago
Draymond Green has been the breakout player of the NBA this season, rumbling, defending and trash-talking his way into a potential max-contract this summer. ...
Four Minutes Of Josh Smith Being Bad Against The Warriors
Josh Smith wasn’t absolutely horrible for the Rockets in their playoff series against the Warriors, but he did have his bad moments. Someone compiled and helpfully annotated his blunders—mostly on defense, with a few bad three-point attempts sprinkled in—in a four-minute video. There’s a nice Easter...
Q&A: Comedy Legend Barry Crimmins, Star Of The New Doc <i>Call Me Lucky</i>
Bobcat Goldthwait’s career as a director (Shakes the Clown, God Bless America, World’s Greatest Dad) continues to reduce our memory of him as a comedian and actor (Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment, Police Academy 3: Back in Training, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol). His latest film, Ca...
Jerry Jones: Still Skeevily Groping Women?
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a chance to enjoy(?) some pictures of gross-ass Jerry Jones fondling women while desperately trying to work up a boner, but we can (apparently) do it again today thanks to some new pictures published by Terez Owens....
How Did We All Get Sucked Into James Harden's Nightmare?
He had more turnovers than shot attempts. The whole performance was bad—sickeningly bad, broadly and in nearly all its details—but the main thing to know is that in last night’s Game 5 elimination, Houston’s James Harden conveyed the ball to the Golden State Warriors more times (13, a playoff record...
Klay Thompson Suffers "Concussion-Like Symptoms" After Knee To Head
The NBA’s concussion policy is flawed. It is not necessarily that the NBA, its teams, and its players are trying to hide concussions—though they certainly have the incentive to do so—but that concussions cannot be adequately diagnosed by a ten-minute battery of tests in the locker room. We got a sta...
The Golden State Warriors Advance To The NBA Finals
Despite the 104-90 victory, the Warriors didn’t make it easy on themselves. They shot only 41%—and a putrid 23% in the first quarter—and never got their three-point shooting on track. Andrew Bogut picked up two early fouls, and Klay Thompson picked up five pretty stupid fouls (and had to go back to ...
The Warriors Had No Idea If Steph Curry Had A Concussion Last Night
Steph called it the scariest fall of his career. “You’re in the air for a long time,” he said after the game, “not knowing how you’re going to hit the floor, knowing that it’s inevitable.” Curry’s taken harder hits—and come away with worse symptoms—but that second-and-a-half or so of unexpected flig...
First Quarter Offensive Explosion Propels Rockets Past Warriors
As well as the Warriors played in Game 3, the Rockets played even better in the first quarter of Game 4. Besides James Harden, the Rockets starters are all inconsistent offensive performers. But in the first quarter the Rockets went 17-21, 8-9 from three. James Harden scored “only” 10 of the Rockets...

Stephen Curry Leaves Game After Landing On Neck [UPDATE: He's Back]
NBA MVP Stephen Curry left tonight’s Western Conference Finals Game 4 in the second quarter after a terrifying fall that left the Warriors star’s neck bearing the entire weight. ...
My God, The Warriors Are A Sight To Behold
How do you stop this? We could focus on everything the Rockets did wrong—James Harden shooting 3 for 16, Corey Brewer attempting multiple times to take the game over—but that wouldn’t be fair. That would deny the role the Warriors played in forcing those wrong things to happen. Without an ounce of h...
Lady Rockets Fan Would Prefer Her Husband Stop Taunting Stephen Curry
This geezer thinks he can boo Stephen Curry on a night the NBA MVP has led his team to a 27-point (and counting) lead over his Houston Rockets. This geezer’s wife wishes he would shut the hell up. ...
Warriors Beat Rockets As James Harden Can't Get Final Shot Off
James Harden was brilliant all game, putting up a ridiculous 38/10/9 line without a ton of help from his non-Dwight Howard teammates. But on the final play of the game, down 99-98 with seven seconds to attack a scrambling Warriors defense, Harden inexplicably passed the ball to Howard, and when he g...
So, Did James Harden Win You Over?
If any James Harden fans are still looking for a way to convince James Harden haters that the Rockets’ shooting guard and MVP runner-up is in fact a legitimate superstar and not the NBA equivalent of a Mortal Kombat spammer, they need look no further than last night’s Game 1 against the Warriors....
Steph Curry Has A Great Sports Baby
We like sports babies around here, because sports babies are cuter than regular babies. That’s a fact. So it is with great pleasure that we welcome Steph Curry’s daughter, Riley, into the ranks of the world’s great sports babies....

Aussie Rules Star Hospitalized After Being Knocked Out During Tackle
A head-to-head collision left Nick Riewoldt headed to the hospital in a hit that left the St. Kilda captain knocked out before he even hit the ground. Adelaide Crows defender Brodie Smith needed help getting off the field, too, and failed a concussion test. It’s the second suspected concussions of t...
