Klay Thompson Dunk Sends Kyle Singler Stumbling Into Crowd
There are better dunks and worse posterizations than this Thompson-Singler affair, but Singler's exit makes this fantastic.

Marreese Speights Dominates: The Spectacle Of The Fattish NBA Gunner
About halfway through the second quarter last night, Marreese Speights missed a step-back three. It was the first shot he'd missed all night, and it seemed to be off more because Speights got tired from bludgeoning the 76ers with their own dismembered arms and legs than because of anything Philadel...
Jon Stewart Rips NFLers Who See Michael Sam As A "Distraction"
