High School Team Inbounds While Up Two With 0.6 Seconds Left, Loses
Wayne High School (Neb.) took on Dakota Valley High School (SD) in a non-conference match-up Friday, and the game featured a finish so wild it would make John Havlicek blush. Down three with under ten seconds left, Wayne's Ben Hoskins hit a three to send the game to overtime. That's when things ...
Sad Derrick Rose Airballs An Open Goddamn Layup
Oooh, that is a slick little move, there. The ball-fake to freeze Timofey Mozgov, the little half-Eurostep toward the middle of the lane, the midair adjustment as Mozgov recovers to contest. And then, what in the damn hell. Did the Earth shift 18 inches off its normal orbital path while Rose w...

Seahawks Finally Get On Board With Punter-To-Tackle Field Goal Fake
Seattle finally put a dent in Green Bay's 16-0 lead with a touchdown pass—but not from Russell Wilson, and not to a Seahawks wide receiver. No, it was punter Jon Ryan finding offensive tackle Garry Gilliam in the end zone on a fake field goal. That's what we all expected, right?...

One-Handed Punter Catch Is The Shrine Game's Sole Highlight
The East-West Shrine Game is underway in St. Petersburg today and it's been as dull as a college all-star game can be expected.

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. Even though it is probably somehow an NCAA violation, Sam Thompson should have to owe Russell for blowing the layup ...
Chelsea Is Terrifying, Scores Beautiful Goal After Intricate Buildup
Facing Chelsea is downright horrifying, and Swansea are learning that firsthand today. This is their second goal—Oscar scored in the first minute—and it is a beautiful interplay of passes reminiscent of, dare I say it, peak-Barcelona. Few teams in the world are so stocked with talent to have playe...
Mo Williams, Of All People, Scored 52 Points Last Night
The Elias Sports Bureau says that the 15-game losing streak Wolves guard Mo Williams broke with his 52-point explosion last night is the longest ever broken by a 50-point game. The second-longest was an 11-gamer, in 1962, broken by Wilt Chamberlain. That's a neatly truth-telling factoid: Only a ...
Nikola Vucevic Whomps On Pau Gasol's Head With Dunk
Pau Gasol is having his best season in a couple of years, suggesting that his recent demise wasn't about physical ability but the psychic torture that the Mike D'Antoni-Dwight Howard-Old Kobe Bryant-Nick Young Los Angeles Lakers imposed upon him. But one of the cool things about the NBA is that almo...
