15-Year-Old American Chloe Kim Wins X-Games Gold With Highest Score In Superpipe History
Remember when Shaun White won an Olympic Gold and a bunch of X-Games titles before he could buy himself a beer? Well, it looks a lot like American snowboarding has found his successor; Chloe Kim, who’s 15, and has already won a bunch of halfpipe events. Two weeks ago, she won gold in the Superpipe a...
High School Hockey Tourney Game Ends On Sudden Death Spin-O-Rama
No sport is better than playoff hockey, and that includes high school playoff hockey. Tonights’ Minnesota 4AA section final ended on an overtime spin-o-rama by Noah Cates, who helped his Stillwater team down Hill-Murray with the game’s only goal:...
It's 2016 And You Can Still Watch Steve Yzerman Score On Patrick Roy
Ciccarelli. Ysebaert. Lidstrom. Primeau. Cheveldae. Growing up in northwest Ohio and well within the night-time range of Detroit’s WJR-AM, these Detroit Red Wings players were my earliest hockey heroes. The opportunity to see some of them skate again no doubt drives the NHL’s Alumni series, which th...
Here's A Video Of 35 Times Stephen Curry Hit A Shot From 28+ Feet This Season
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is en route to demolishing his own NBA single-season three-pointer record, and if the quantity weren’t astonishing enough consider this: at least 35 of the 276 threes Curry has hit this season have been from 28 feet or further, more than four feet behind the three-po...
This Pass From Isaiah Whitehead Is Extremely Good And Cool
Okay, so it’s not as good as Isaiah Thomas’s dime, which I still can’t wrap my head around, but this is still pretty cool. ...
Goodness, This Isaiah Thomas Pass
I’ve been repeatedly watching the replay of this no-look, behind-the-head pass from Isaiah Thomas that set up Jae Crowder’s game-sealing three, trying to figure out at what point Thomas spotted Crowder on the wing, and I never see him glance over there. But it sounds like it might be one of those sp...
Michal Neuvirth Makes Miraculous, Impossible To Believe Game-Winning Save
When Charlie Coyle unleashed a potential game-tying shot with just three second left, everybody on the Minnesota Wild was convinced it had gone in. Just look at them all raise their sticks in unison. I mean, how could that shot have possibly not gone in?...
James Harden's Partnership With Dwight Howard, Summed Up In One Play
Years from now, while surfing Basketball Reference, your child may look to you and ask, “How were the 2016 Rockets so bad despite having both James Harden and Dwight Howard? Weren’t those guys good? I must know the truth.” You will have prepared for this moment, and you will turn the eyes of your pr...
This Full-Court Chest-Pass Buzzer-Beater Is Incredible
I can’t think of another shot quite like Josh Henderson’s 70-foot buzzer-beater at the end of the first half of Vanderbilt’s 87-74 win over Florida. The low angle of the damn thing makes it nearly impossible, like an inch off in any direction would have sent it careening into the stands. It’s like a...
Clint Dempsey Bends Long-Range Free Kick Perfectly Into The Top Corner
Clint Dempsey opened the scoring in Tuesday’s CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal between the Seattle Sounders and Mexico’s Club América with this prodigious free kick:...
Aaron Gordon Is A Nasty In-Game Dunker Too
If the first time you really noticed Aaron Gordon was when he was jumping over a dragon on a hoverboard during the dunk contest, that’s okay! The Orlando Magic aren’t very good, and Gordon hasn’t quite managed to consistently put together his elite potential (though he’s close). The important thing ...
This Dion Waiters Lowlight Reel Is Very Rude And Very Funny
Remember the Dwight Howard lowlight reel that was just as funny as it was mean? The person who made it has blessed us with another video, this one celebrating Dion Waiters’s 1-for-8 performance against his former team on Sunday. ...
Dimitri Payet Is Still An Animal
This isn’t even a dedicated Dimitri Payet individual highlight video and yet it’s still composed almost entirely of West Ham’s superstud going all best mode all over Blackburn in the FA Cup this weekend. And that’s because any time the Hammers do something cool, you can bet Payet will be at the cent...
Sorry, Edin Džeko, But The Post Can't Explain How You Missed That Wide-Open Net
“Post, baby, how are you gonna do me like that?” Roma’s Edin Džeko appears to whisper to the goal’s woodwork after his horrendous miss. “You know I love you, Edin,” the post probably responded, “but that’s all on you.”...
Just Get Out Of Damian Lillard's Way
Anthony Davis’s 59-point, 20-rebound destruction of the Pistons may have been the best single-game performance of the NBA season, but I say the weekend belonged to Damian Lillard....
Fifth-Division English Team Orchestrates Ornate Free-Kick Routine That Goes Exactly Nowhere
It’s not surprising that, deep down in England’s fifth division and without a David Beckham-like free kick specialist to whip one into the top corner, a team like Cheltenham Town would resort to trickeration to fool the goalkeeper on this set play. It’s just as unsurprising, then, what ultimately ca...
Holy Smokes, Anthony Davis Just Had The Game Of The Season
Thank God the Pistons kept today’s game against the Pelicans close enough to force Anthony Davis to stay in until the end, because he put forth the best game anyone’s had all NBA season. Young Brow dropped 59 points on 24-for-34 shooting and collected 20 rebounds in 43 minutes of work. That’s the fi...
Wild High School Banked Buzzer-Beater Gets Perfect Wisconsin-Accented Call
Reader Joe sent this along with the note (warning?), “Yes, this is how we sound.” If you are also of the mind that thick Wisconsin twang is charming, well, strap in for the good shit....
Would-Be Nevada Game-Winner Thwarted By UNLV's Buzzer-Beating Three
Tonight’s MWC rivalry matchup between Nevada and UNLV went to overtime after a wild final five seconds of regulation that saw both teams hitting desperation three-pointers....
