But Seriously, Gareth Bale Scores Whenever The Hell He Wants
Today, Tottenham were four short minutes from a disastrous draw or even a loss against Southampton when Spurs star Gareth Bale decided, as he's done a few times this season, that he would probably rather win. So he went and scored....
Is There Any Joy In Sweeping These Lakers?
"Let's try for a miracle," Mike D'Antoni told his undermanned, overmatched team before Game 4. "Why not?"...
Dwight Howard Gets Ejected And Kobe Bryant Returns To A Hero's Welcome
Dwight Howard was ejected in the third quarter of Game 4 against the Spurs after he received his second technical foul. The shorthanded Lakers were already getting manhandled with Howard actually in the lineup so this game, and series, is over....
This Heckler At Staples Center Really Wants Matt Bonner's Attention
We don't know why this gentleman, presumably a Lakers fan, wants the attention of Spurs big man Matt Bonner. (Perhaps he suspects Bonner of having gotten him pregnant.) Regardless, he is very close to TNT's court mic, which we've isolated here....
The Lakers Are Breaking Down
The Lakers lost, 102-91, to fall down 0-2 in their matchup with San Antonio. The game was unremarkable: the lead was eight at the half, 10 after the third; the Spurs were their usual, relentless, efficient selves. The Lakers were directionless, and with two more possibly significant injures, it migh...
Mike D'Antoni Is Delighted To Hear Kobe Was Live-Tweeting The Game
So, this super-fun and interesting Kobe-Bryant-live-tweeting-the-game experience has sort of become a thing. ABC was routinely showing his tweets on the screen. After the game, both ESPN desks—the bootleg one with Kurt Rambis and the real one with Wilbon, Magic et al.—were discussing whether Kobe sh...
Kobe Bryant Is Live-Tweeting The Lakers Game
Thanks to the magic of the internet we can now sit and watch as superstar athletes critique their teams in real time. Kobe is live-tweeting the Lakers-Spurs game that just went to halftime with the Spurs leading 45-37. ...
Quentin Richardson And Tracy McGrady Back In The NBA, For Some Reason
Quentin Richardson and Tracy McGrady today signed deals with the Knicks and Spurs, respectively. Their contracts, which are good through the rest of the season, signal that New York and San Antonio are both determined to take another run at the 2003 NBA title....
DeJuan Blair Owes More Than $53,000 To A San Antonio Jewelry Store
A San Antonio jewelry store says Spurs center DeJuan Blair stopped by eight times during March and April 2010, scooping up more than $53,000 worth of merchandise that were likely all paid for with IOUs marked "yeah, right." Hey, we all do it, you know?...
Boris Diaw Made A Lego Harlem Shake Video, Because Sure, Why Not
The very first release from Diaw's Babac Films is this, a surprisingly hypnotic take on a dying meme....
Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised. You can't really expect the referee to be ready to call a foul on a half-court shot with 18 seconds left on the s...
Watch All These Tottenham Players Choke The Game Away To Liverpool
Today's most notable Premier League matchup was between Tottenham Hotspur, currently third in the table with just two points over Chelsea, and eighth-place Liverpool FC. This game was vital. A week after beating bitter rivals Arsenal, Spurs are trying to get some separation from Chelsea, while a su...
Boris Diaw Snotted All Over The Court Last Night
Spurs forward Boris Diaw hails from France. Does that mean he is a refined gentleman, schooled in the continental gentility demanded by the house rules at Pierre Gagnaire? Or is he more like the slovenly Gérard Depardieu? Watch this video from Wednesday night's Bulls-Spurs game, and make your own ...
Nate Robinson Wore Nike Air Yeezy 2s In An NBA Game, For Some Reason
There are a few things that are bizarre about Nate Robinson's decision to wear Air Yeezy 2s during last night's Bulls-Spurs game. For one, those shoes are ridiculously expensive. Although they retail at $250, the demand for the shoes has become so high that they routinely fetch prices upwards of $2...
Arsenal Fans Throw A Banana On The Pitch
It's being reported as a banana thrown at Gareth Bale, but that does not really make much sense. Not that racism makes sense, but usually the racist European soccer fan reserves his banana-related taunts for black players. As you see in the video, the referee clearly picks up a banana thrown on th...
Sports In The Storm: The Knicks Were Stuck In Minnesota, The Spurs Were Stuck In Detroit, And The Bruins Had To Reschedule
You are not the only one somewhat inconvenienced by the white stuff on the ground outside: The Knicks spent last night stuck in Minneapolis, the Spurs couldn't escape from Detroit until an hour ago, and the Nets had to take a train:...
NBA Ref Explains Why He's Making The Lakers And Spurs Stand Around: "I'm Stalling For Commercial Time."
The Lakers lost. Yes, again. That's not news, but this fourth-quarter conference, between Mike D'Antoni, Gregg Popovich, and referee Bill Kennedy, is one of the best things we've seen in a while....
A Group Of Bros Infiltrated The Knicks Locker Room, Asked Gregg Popovich About J.R. Smith, And Got Kicked Out After Snapping A Picture Of Half-Naked Carmelo
On Thursday night, Peter and his friends had courtside tickets to Knicks-Spurs, a gift from a family friend that meant an up-close view of the game in which Stephen Jackson injured himself tripping over Mike Bloomberg's waitress and J.R. Smith did this. After it ended, they did what anyone would do ...
J.R. Smith's Reverse Alley-Oop Shouldn't Be Humanly Possible
The game was out of hand at this point—San Antonio, playing their fourth in five nights, had benched most of the starters, and the Knicks had followed suit. That doesn't take a thing away from the athleticism required to put home this reverse alley-oop, fired by Pablo Prigioni from about 15 feet a...
