The Warriors May Have No Bigger Fan Than Gregg Popovich
All-Star Weekend is a good breather from one of the least up-for-grabs NBA seasons in recent memory. If we want to be honest with ourselves, there are only three teams with realistic title hopes. And if we want to be really honest, the Cavs probably can’t hang with the West’s best—there are only two...
Here's Stephen Curry's Half-Court Shot To End The All-Star Game That TNT Didn't Show
TNT was stuck on a shot of Kobe Bryant when Stephen Curry decided to heave up a half-courter to close out the All-Star Game, so you didn’t see it on TV. Here’s that shot....
Here, Watch Steph Curry, Michelle Obama, And Ayesha Curry Do A Dubsmash Rendition Of "Barbara Ann"

Kevin Hart Accidentally Tied Draymond Green In A Three-Point Competition
Tonight’s gag three-point competition between the Warriors’ Draymond Green and actor Kevin Hart was supposed to end with Green crushing Hart, taking home a giant trophy while his non-athlete opponent went home with a participation ribbon. What nobody planned on was Hart actually beating tying Green—...
The Things You Don't See At The Olympic Marathon Trials Are The Most Interesting
I had just dragged ass into the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles—race headquarters for the Olympic Marathon Trials—and got in the elevator with Des Linden. She is one of, if not the, favorites in today’s race to determine the Rio team. Linden came up to my shoulder, the size of many 10-year-olds,...
Holy Shit, Christen Press's First Touch Will Make Your Knees Buckle
Oh my god look at this first touch from Christen Press. She doesn’t just expertly control a cross whipped into her, but no-look uses the outside of her foot (her heel?!) to gently drop the ball just a few feet in beside her to wheel around and smash home. It should be illegal to be this skilled and ...
It Sure Looks Like Draymond Green Got A Ref To Admit He Made A Bad Call
Warriors forward Draymond Green fell a bit short of his standard triple-double output against the Rockets last night, but he appeared to accomplish a rare NBA feat after having a clean block erased by a bad foul call....
Warriors Cap Razzle-Dazzle Fast Break With Alley-Oop Layup
The Warriors and Rockets are engaged in an absolute barn burner in Oakland—it was 93-93 at the end of the third quarter—full of unlikely threes and great offense. But even within the context of an already hyperkinetic game, this amazing sequence by the Warriors is one of the prettiest things I’ve se...
Roll Recovery Offers to Reimburse Olympic Marathon Trials Entry Fees. Yes, There Is An Entry Fee.
It’s not the thought that counts; it’s the thought plus some small-denomination greenbacks. Boulder-based Roll Recovery (they make those rolling muscle massagers) really dig runners, and running. On February 5, the small company announced they would reimburse all Olympic Marathon Trials qualifiers t...

Take Our Word For It: This Is A Cool Highlight
The Auckland Nines tournament is underway in New Zealand, as the top NRL squads try their hand at the smaller, faster variety of rugby league. It’s been a good watch all day, as the format accentuates all the things that make the down-under rugby variant a more enjoyable casual watch; here’s Warrior...
Dead Letters: Sixers Beat Warriors Edition
This past Saturday, the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors blew a 24-point lead to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers, needing a last-second Harrison Barnes three-pointer to dispatch the Association’s most consistently-pathetic team. In a season full of Warriors blowout wins, allowing that kind o...
Rob Gronkowski Grinds On Fox Sports Anchor
Rob Gronkowski was on Fox Sports today, and the topic of his supposed brief career as a stripper came up. Anchor Julie Stewart-Binks suggested he should dance for her. “If you had a chance to make some more money using, maybe, me ...” she said. “Wanna maybe show us a little Magic Mike?” Gronk agreed...
Gronk Eats Wings, Suffers, Drips Snot
Rob Gronkowski, a T-shirt sleeve that ripped because a bicep was flexed too vigorously from within it, ate spicy chicken wings in some type of challenge. Wings are a messy food, so Gronk predictably had sauce smeared around his mouth, but because of the capsaicin, his nose was dripping like a faucet...
What Should We Call Draymond Green's Perfect Triple-Doubles?
The triple-double has always been more of a fun box-score artifact than a meaningful statistic, but Draymond Green has been gilding lilies that deserve special recognition....
Aaron Hernandez Bashes Robert Kraft In Prison Letter
In case you were wondering, Aaron Hernandez is still a big Patriots fan, and being sent to prison for life has not stopped him from watching every game. In a jailhouse letter obtained by TMZ, Hernandez has nothing but praise for a few of his former teammates—and nothing but venom for owner Robert Kr...
Ex-World Sailing Chief Claims He Was Fired For Trying To Move Olympic Racing Out Of Shit-Filled Bay
The sailing events at the 2016 Rio Olympics are currently scheduled to take place in Guanabara Bay, which is full of shit. A German sailor has already been hospitalized after he reportedly contracted MRSA in a training event last August, and experts say “three teaspoons” of the bay’s water will be e...
