The Sochi Olympics Were Even More Of A Boondoggle Than You thought
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, were a scam from the very start.

D'Angelo Russell Is College Basketball's Smoothest Assassin
The play above happened early in the first half of last week's game between Ohio State and Iowa.

Loo...

Lefty Spinning Bounce Passes Are The Best Bounce Passes
A spinning lefty bounce pass to a guy who didn't even seem to be open? Usually we only see those from Manu Ginobili, but Ohio State's D'Angelo Russell shows he has a little game, too.
