Dell Curry's Still Got It

Goodness, This Blake Griffin Pass
Blake Griffin just returned from a lengthy injury layoff to recover from knee surgery, and it appears that he’s been antsy to get back. He went all And-1 to scoot this pass in to J.J. Redick in the first quarter tonight, and thankfully, Redick hit the layup....
High School Phenom Zion Williamson Dunked The Living Hell Out Of This Dunk
Zion Williamson is only a high school sophomore, but he can already dunk a basketball with the force of a meteor impact. The second-ranked recruit from the class of 2018 went for 45 last night, including this big dunk (which was one of 12 on the night). ...
David Luiz Definitely Stole This Free Kick And It Was Genius
My first thought after seeing the ball fly into Liverpool’s completely undefended net after a set piece was Holy shit, what just happened? My next was Oh wow, what a great psych-out free kick routine by Chelsea there! It was only upon my third thought that the true magnitude of the situation’s brill...

Donte DiVincenzo’s tip in as time expired gave top-ranked Villanova a 61-59 win over Virginia....

Non-league Sutton United continued its miraculous run through the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Championship side Leeds United thanks to a penalty scored by team captain Jamie Collins, who earns a living with his day job as a bricklayer....
Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
Shootout Winner Bounces Off Back Of Goalie's Head
Rochester goalie Linus Ullmark was the star in last night’s AHL game between the Americans and the Toronto Marlies, stopping 39 of 40 shots, and yet he ends up on the lowlight reel. Life isn’t fair sometimes....
Justin Tucker Nailed A 75-Yard Field Goal
The Pro Bowl is a meaningless spectacle that is only as valuable as the silly highlights it provides. For the first time, there will be a skills competition of sorts, which includes catching footballs dropped by a drone. That might be cool, but it probably won’t be nearly as impressive as Justin Tuc...
English Soccer Team Produces Best, Dumbest Highlight Video For Canceled Game
Greenwich Borough FC are a tiny club that play in the Isthmian League’s Division One South. That’s the eighth division of English soccer and it’s mostly made up of semi-pro sides in London and southeast England. They played Hanwell Town yesterday, but the game was abandoned after 15 minutes due to a...
These DeAndre Jordan Free Throws Are High Art
DeAndre Jordan stands to have his production decline as much as anyone on the Clippers in Chris Paul’s absence. Jordan is Paul’s primary alley-oop muse, and his offensive rebounding skills are a lot less handy without Paul’s penetration. However, that has nothing to do with Jordan airmailing two fre...
Josh Jackson Dunks On West Virginia, Eventually
If at first you don’t succeed,...
College Basketball Player Loses Shoe, Proves That Sometimes It's Okay To Give Up
Drury University freshman guard Lexie Vaught lost her shoe during Saturday’s game against Rockhurst University, and chose to play through it. She should not have done that....
Clutch Time Is Westbrook Time
By now you are aware that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s chances of winning or losing any game rest almost entirely on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook—the fact that he’s still averaging 30-10-10 in late January makes his impact on the team perfectly clear—but today is a good day to appreciate just h...
Bol Bol, Manute Bol's 17-Year-Old Son, Is Already A Beast
The best part of the highlight reel below, with all due consideration to Bol Bol swatting the daylights out of No. 3 at 1:45, is the way Bol’s teammates grin and giggle as they run back down the court. They look tiny compared to him, and they seem to be openly marveling that their new teammate is su...
Behold The Unrelenting Genius Of Lionel Messi's Passes
The danger, if you can call it that, of regularly watching Lionel Messi play soccer—which is to say, to watch one man routinely perform stupefying acts of brilliance the likes of which you’ve never seen before—is that at some point, you run the risk of becoming inured to it....
Patriots Extend Lead With Flea-Flicker
Chris Hogan hauled in his second touchdown of the game and the Patriots took a 17-6 lead over Pittsburgh in tonight’s AFC championship game thanks to this 34-yard flea-flicker touchdown that left the New England wide receiver looking, briefly, quite panicked....
