Here Are All Of LeBron's Unspectacular 45 Points
Watching a supercut of LeBron James's scores in last night's parquet floorwiping of the Celtics, you're struck at how rote it seems. A cold, clinical series of possessions that resembled nothing so much as a practice drill that just happened to have five green-and-white clad obstacles on the court...
You Can't Lose A Playoff Hockey Game More Excruciatingly Than This
I've probably watched this video 10 times, and I still can't understand how the puck, shot from the red line, hits the side boards in the corner, and somehow finds its way back to the goal mouth and into the net. In a 0-0 game. In overtime. In the AHL Calder Cup finals. On a goal that may have bee...

Kings Coach Darryl Sutter Doesn't Understand Your Question, Sir
It's almost as if Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter would've preferred hoisting the Stanley Cup tonight rather than fielding inane questions that both misidentify and mispronounce players' names.

"Good Job, Good Effort" Kid Identified As World's Best Miami Heat Fan
Nine-year-old Jack Meyer of Coral Gables, Florida, is not, to some's chagrin, the world's trolliest troll of a Celts fan. He's actually an insanely upbeat Heat fan, and that's kind of awesome. NBC Miami interviewed the youngster earlier today to try and get a sense of what it was like to become the...

So how's it going for Jose Canseco in his stint with the Worcester (Mass.) Tornadoes of the Can-Am-League? Well, he's hitting just .171 with zero home runs and 15 strikeouts in 41 at-bats.

The Miami Heat's "Good Job, Good Effort" Kid As Heard Throughout History
He was there to tell Napoleon "Good job!" when the Little Emperor invaded Russia. He called the 1962 Mets season a "good effort."

One More Clueless L.A. Media Moment: "Kings Goalie Jonathan Swift"
The Stanley Cup itself will be at the Staples Center tonight, and the Kings look all but unstoppable.
