Draymond Green Proves That Steals Can Be Highlights
Draymond Green had a big game last night, helping the Steph Curry-less Warriors scratch out an overtime win against the Hawks. He swelled the box score as usual, finishing with 15 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and four steals. He also hit an absurd shot in the final minute of OT to help put the gam...
This Rick Reilly Thing Sucks So Much
Last we heard from Rick Reilly, he was retiring to Italy after ESPN finally got tired of him recycling his own material. So what happens when you give an old sportswriter who perfected the art of mailing it in a shot at a Sports Illustrated cover story? You get this pile of shit....
This Play Seems Impossible
Iowa State took care of things at home tonight against Oklahoma State with a 58-50 win, but that scoreline doesn’t include a Jameel McKay dunk that officials ruled a miss after the ball went through the hoop, bounced off Cowboys defender Anthony Allen’s skull and back out through the top. Maybe gett...
Update: Every Steph Curry Three-Pointer From 28+ Feet This Season
Stephen Curry’s overtime-winning rainbow Saturday night just added to the league MVP’s legend as one of the greatest long-range shooters the game has ever seen. Not only did it break his own records for consecutive games with a three-pointer and threes in a season, it tied the NBA record for three-p...
Steve Kerr Burns Warriors Haters
Surely you’ve seen Steph Curry’s celestial game-winner from last night by now. It was one of the coolest sports moments of 2016, as well as a well-timed rebuttal to the newish wave of old-ass basketball players doing the “back in my day,” routine. Steve Kerr used the opportunity to lace a pretty sea...
Defensive Lineman Crashes Out Of NFL Combine 40-Yard Dash Due To Dick Falling Out Of Shorts [NSFW]
Mississippi State defensive lineman Chris Jones had trouble staying upright as he finished his 40 attempt today at the NFL combine, and replays revealed why: his genitals came flying out of his shorts while trying to beat five seconds....
Here's Stephen Curry's Miracle Game-Winner As Called In Spanish And In Russian
Stephen Curry’s multiple-record-breaking series of three pointers tonight against the Thunder sent the Warriors out of Oklahoma City with a win they had absolutely no business taking. None of the threes were more mindblowing, of course, than the last-second-of-overtime long-range bomb that earned th...
Stephen Curry Hits Game-Winning, Record-Breaking Jumper From Mars To Beat OKC
Stephen Curry, whose fate (and ankle) we questioned just an hour ago, hit a last-second three from 30 feet out to dispatch Oklahoma City in a game it seemed the Thunder couldn’t possibly lose. It was Curry’s 12th three-pointer of the game....

"WE BE CHAMPIONSHIP": Draymond Green's Mother Pens Open Letter To Warriors Haters
The Warriors are probably going to win at least 70 games, and are currently on pace to eclipse Michael Jordan’s 1996 Bulls and win 73. They’re good and fun and they’re killing everyone, but even they’ve drawn some haters. Draymond Green’s mother wrote an open letter to those haters. Hey, Oscar Rober...
Here's A Video Of 35 Times Stephen Curry Hit A Shot From 28+ Feet This Season
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is en route to demolishing his own NBA single-season three-pointer record, and if the quantity weren’t astonishing enough consider this: at least 35 of the 276 threes Curry has hit this season have been from 28 feet or further, more than four feet behind the three-po...
The Warriors Are The Best Team Ever, And They Can Eat Shit
Earlier today in Deadspin’s staff chat room, our editor Tim Marchman and I floated the idea of a “Fuck The Warriors” post, which would fully acknowledge everything great and fun and astonishing about these Golden State Warriors but also air out the completely irrational hatred he and I both feel tow...
Steph Curry Bails Draymond Green, And The Warriors, Out
The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 72 wins are so impressive because it is very easy for the nightly grind of the NBA to trip teams up. Sure, injuries can easily cause losses, but so can scheduling quirks, off nights, opposing stars going off, or a million other things....
Report: Jae’Sean Tate Re-Aggravated Shoulder Injury While Slapping The Court
Late in the second half of Saturday’s 65-62 victory over Nebraska, Ohio State wing Jae’Sean Tate tried to amp everybody up by repeatedly slapping the court. Unfortunately for him, this resulted Tai Webster blowing by him. And now, to add injury to insult, the floor slapping might’ve cost him his sea...

The Warriors Were No Match For Damian Lillard
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trailblazers put a royal whooping on the Golden State Warriors last night up in Portland. Yes, the Warriors were uncharacteristically sloppy and bad. Sure, they fumbled away 13 turnovers in the third quarter alone, the most in any quarter in any game since 2008. Their...
Allen Robinson Got A Tattoo Of His Own Highlight-Reel Catch
If you’re a Penn State fan, you probably remember current Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson’s leaping catch that set up the game-tying touchdown in the 2013 Homecoming game against Michigan. From this point forward, you will also remember that catch if you ever see Robinson with his shirt off:...
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....
