Raptors Fan Goes For Kiss During Game, Gets Rejected
Daaaamn. That girl was just not feeling a kiss from her friend near the end of a tense Nets-Raps game. Either she was very focused on the Raptors, or that's the worst abrupt end to a date....

Gronk Tailgates K-State Spring Game, Is Amused By Beer Bong In Pants
Hops-fueled lummox and part-time NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski went to Kansas State for last Saturday's spring football game. (His younger brother Glenn is a fullback for the Wildcats.) He had some fun at the tailgate....

New Footage Shows The Based God's Curse On Kevin Durant Is Real
I don't know what kind of hidden frequencies or imperceptible light waves this Vine can pick up on, but we now have the best evidence yet for why Kevin "The Servant" Durant's shot wasn't hitting like it usually does last night....

The Rangers' Slow-Motion Collapse Is Becoming An Annual Event
The standing ovation the Flyers received at the end of last night's first period was not entirely deserved. Through 20 minutes they'd been pretty well pushed around, getting outpossessed at even strength to the tune of 18 shot attempts to just 11 (37.9 percent). That, in hockey, doesn't sound like m...

Joey Crawford Is Still A Shit
Well, this was inevitable. We all knew that, at some point during these playoffs, Joey Goddamn Crawford was going to find away to thrust himself into the spotlight and whip up some controversy, because Joey Crawford is the worst....

Mexican Beers, Ranked
Cinco de Mayo used to be a nice little half-holiday on which Americans drank Corona and tequila after work in a vague but earnest tribute to Mexico. What exactly did Cinco de Mayo signify? Maybe it commemorated the beginning of a just reign or the end of a cruel one; perhaps it had something to do w...

Fans Brawl In The Stands During Tonight's Rangers-Flyers Game
Rangers fans and Flyers fans duked it out in the stands during Game 6 tonight at Wells Fargo Center. According to our tipsters, it was started by a couple of Rangers fans' taunts which got out of control, despite the ushers' attempts to quell things....

Russell Westbrook's Steal And Dunk Puts Grizzlies-Thunder Into OT
The Grizzlies had the ball and a chance to ice the game for a 3-2 series lead over the Thunder. But Russell Westbrook hassled Memphis point guard Mike Conley, Jr. enough to jar the ball loose and tie the game up at 90 with a dunk....

Big Al And The Bobcats Deserved More Than What They Got
For a few short minutes during the Bobcats' Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat, Al Jefferson did his thing. Which is to say he stuck his ass into whatever helpless defender got himself dragged onto the left block, took a brief moment to size up the situation, and then bullied his way to the rim on the st...

The NBA Player No One Would Pass To
Early this season, we ran an item called "The NBA Players No One Will Pass To." It used newly accessible SportVU motion-tracking data to determine who among all the NBA players receives the ball the least. It was based on just a few weeks' worth of data, but ended up being representative. In short: ...

Angry Pacers Heckler Just Says What We're All Thinking
The Pacers, they suck. They suck so bad that they are now one loss away from being bounced out of the first round by the eighth-seeded Atlanta Hawks. They suck so bad that during last night's loss in Indiana, they drove one Pacers fan to his breaking point....

Yankees Fans Boo Picture Of Robinson Cano, Until The Real Cano Shows Up
This is another great gag from Jimmy Fallon, along the same lines as the Matt Harvey prank Fallon pulled on Mets fans. The setup here is pretty simple. A producer gets Yankees fans on the street to boo a large picture of Robinson Cano and after they boo and turn back to the camera, the producer tel...

Kyle Korver Shows Off His In-The-Building Range
Kyle Korver draws all net from about 30 feet out and he's not even curling off a screen or walking into the shot; he's completely flat-footed. ...

Sidney Crosby Breaks Stick Slashing Artem Anisimov
Here's Sidney Crosby getting pissed at Artem Anisimov in the second period of Game 6 against the Blue Jackets and lashing out by swinging his stick at his legs. Crosby's stick broke and the slash earned him two minutes in the penalty box, but the Penguins beat Columbus 4-3 and took the series 4-2....

For Real Though, We Need To Talk About Thomas Robinson's Block
I, like most basketball fans, have been thinking about last night's game between the Rockets and Blazers pretty much all day. But out of all the amazing shit that happened in that game—Wes Matthews torpedoing the ball and the win out of Patrick Beverley's hands; that brief stretch when Nic Batum, D...

Behold, The Most Useless Graphic Of The NBA Playoffs
The map above—from TNT last night—is one of those "who's getting the most buzz" graphics that are as ubiquitous as they are useless. Unfortunately, Houston and Portland both wear red, a nuance lost on whatever computer program generated this image. Better luck next time, computer program!...

Cool Charts: Where The NBA's Best Scorers Are Getting Their Shots
Last Friday on Grantland, Kirk Goldsberry released a great series of charts breaking down the top NBA scorers and shooters from various spots on the floor. The graphics—interactives, thanks to Bostonography's Andy Woodruff—are revealing as always, especially Dirk Nowitzki's:...

How Have NBA Pundits Fared In The First Round Of The Playoffs?
Most of the NBA's first-round playoff series are shaping up to be hotly contested matchups, so let's check in to see if the "experts" had them pegged right....
