Fan-Shot Video From Game 4: Russell Westbrook Tells A Heckler To "Shut The Fuck Up"
On Saturday, Russell Westbrook cursed at a heckler. (More than one, it seems!) On Sunday, he was fined $25,000 for it. Last night, video of one incident emerged, and though I have absolutely no idea what was said to tick off Westbrook, it was entirely worth it just for the fan’s stunned, sulky react...

Kevin Durant And Russell Westbrook Torch Mark Cuban And Charlie Villanueva
There’s no trash talk quite like end-of-series trash talk. It’s easy to be magnanimous in victory, but it’s not nearly as much fun as pointing to the scoreboard as you lob a Molotov cocktail through the window on your way out of the building. After the Thunder finished off the Mavericks in five game...

Russell Westbrook, Goddamn
The last thing Russell Westbrook needs is extra motivation, and yet—before his team sent the Dallas Mavericks out of the playoffs this evening with a 118-104 win—Mavericks owner Mark Cuban went and said that Russell Westbrook was not a superstar.

Christian Pulisic Scored Again

Charlie Villanueva Gets In Nice Underhanded Burn

Liverpool Just Came Back To Beat Borussia Dortmund In An Insane Goal-Fest

Christian Pulisic, The Latest "Savior Of American Soccer," Is More Than Just Hype
You can count the number of soccer teams in the world better than Borussia Dortmund on one hand. Last season, the German club struggled with the loss of Robert Lewandowski and the impending loss of Jürgen Klopp and wound up with a sorry seventh-place league finish. One year later and they are back a...

Addison Russell Attempts Brutal Assault On Diamondbacks Mascot
Wow, this is quite rude. Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell attempted to maim poor Diamondbacks mascot D. Baxter the Bobcat last night by flinging his bat into the stands.

Russell Westbrook On Reggie Jackson's Celebration: "Some Real Bullshit"
Last night’s game mattered a hell of a lot more to the Pistons than it did to the Thunder. OKC is locked into the third seed in the West, and rested Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka.
