The Cavs' Outlet Passes Are A Damn Good Time
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been in a nice little groove lately, following up that four-game losing streak in which they looked like a sluggish, boring basketball team with a 9-2 run. They kicked the crap out of the Charlotte Hornets last night, and even got around to playing some fun, free-wheelin...
Khris Middleton Beats Suns With Contested, Game-Winning Three
Down one to the Phoenix Suns with under four seconds remaining, Bucks forward Khris Middleton hit this contested game-winner to send the surprising Bucks to 13-12. The final minute of the game featured as good of basketball as you'll see, with the teams trading baskets and combining to hit six str...
Giroud Is A Wizard
Sure, Olivier Giroud is unmarked, but that's a marvelous angle....
Justin Bieber Submits Yet Another Shamefully Staged Basketball Highlight
Justin Bieber needs to be stopped. The motherfucker has once again posted a video of himself "playing" basketball that is so plainly fraudulent that it deserves to be buried under the collected scorn of the internet. ...
This Is Probably The Worst Jump Shot You'll Ever See In The NBA
Something remarkable happened in the fourth quarter of last night's game between the Bulls and Nets: Cory Jefferson tried to play basketball while on an LSD trip....
Wizards Win On Bradley Beal Alley-Oop Layup With 0.8 Seconds Left
Bradley Beal still looks a bit off after missing the first three weeks of the season with a fractured wrist, but this is sure to raise his spirits. The Wizards entered the fourth quarter down eight to the Magic, but a furious rally led by John Wall tied the game on Rasual Butler's free throw with 16...
Good God, Roger Goodell Is So Stupid
It's apparently Roger Goodell Day over at the Wall Street Journal, because the paper's website currently features three (three!) pieces on the NFL's khaki-faced figurehead—they've got a Very Serious Sitdown Interview, a tick-tock feature that reads like Mark Halperin-penned fanfic, and (for fuck's s...
Blake Griffin Was His Old Bad-Ass Self Last Night
One of the crappier things about the early part of this NBA season is that for much of it, Blake Griffin hasn't really looked like Blake Griffin. Too many Clippers games have seen Griffin floating around the perimeter, turning in uninspiring performances heavy on the mid-range jumpers and light on t...
Stan Van Gundy Shows Us How Much It Hurts To Coach Josh Smith
One of the many problems Stan Van Gundy faced when he took over the Detroit Pistons was Josh Smith's dreadful three-point shooting. He shot 265 threes last season and only hit 26 percent of them, but Stan Van has managed to put the straps on him a bit this year. Smith's shot just 30 threes so far (h...
Kemba Walker Made The Block Of Your Dreams
So this happened on Friday night, but I feel compelled to draw your attention to it now, because this right here is the exact block that anyone who's ever played even a minute of organized basketball has dreamt of making. ...
Radim Vrbata's Patience Results In A Gorgeous Goal
Canucks forward Radim Vrbata waited, and waited, and waited. Then, he completely fooled Senators goalie Craig Anderson for his 12th goal of the season. Be sure to watch the replay at the end. So pretty....

List of things that are stupid:...
Golf Tournament Interrupted By Charging Baboon
South Africa is lousy with baboons (who will totally just fuck your shit up), so when you're playing golf there, like Luke Donald is this weekend, you gotta be ready for a baboon to just roll up on you....
It's So Fun To Watch Kyrie Irving Make People Look Dumb
Last night's nationally televised game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was pretty stinky. 'Melo couldn't get a bucket, LeBron was still in "Hey, uh, what the hell is going on with LeBron?" mode, and the whole game had the feel of two middling Eastern conference teams blindly flailing at each ...
UCF Wins Share Of American Conference Title With Hail Mary Touchdown
UCF claimed a share of the AAC championship despite blowing a 26-9 fourth-quarter lead when Breshad Perriman hauled in a 51-yard hail mary to give the Knights a 32-30 victory over ECU....
Tiger Woods Is Playing Horribly At His Own Tournament
Tiger Woods made his return to PGA play today at his own Hero World Challenge charity tournament, and the above video suggests maybe he needs a few more months off. Here he is on the par-5 13th at Isleworth, struggling mightily. He's currently +4, in last place....
John Wall Destroyed The Lakers Last Night
Kobe Bryant and Nick Young hit a bunch of fluky long jumpers in a row during the second quarter of the Lakers' game in DC last night; with around six minutes left in the half they led by 11 points, and if you saw the score (47-36) crawl across the bottom of your screen just then, you might've though...
Monta Ellis's Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Was Bananas
I think it's time to admit that there probably isn't another player in the NBA who is better at hitting reckless, off-balance buzzer-beaters than Monta Ellis. Almost two years after hitting a game-winner so absurd that Ellis himself had to flee from it, the Mavericks shooting guard once again did hi...
