Instagram Fail: Girl Mistakes Random Tall Dude for Dwight Howard Only to Have Real Dwight Howard Correct Her
When I was a kid, if you did something embarrassingly stupid, only the people present at the time knew about it. Sure, those people might go and tell other people, but the news was only going to spread so far. All the people at your school might know you thought kangaroos live in Austria, but […]

Stephon Marbury Got Ejected from a Chinese Basketball Game, So They Locked Him Out of the Arena (Video)
If there’s one thing I learned from the film Mr. Big League starring Tom Sellick, it’s that superstar athletes have a tough time swallowing their pride and going overseas to continue their careers once they are past their prime.

LeBron James Reminds Us that He Is Not Actually Human with this Block on Darren Collison (GIF)
It’s been kind of a rough year for the Miami Heat, by which I mean they’re “only” 35-13 with the fourth-best record in basketball. However, none of their “struggles” are the fault of LeBron James. The Thunder’s Kevin Durant has sort of stolen the spotlight a bit with his otherworldly season, but LeBron is still […]

LeBron James One-Handed Alley-Oop Caps Off Impressive Fast-Break for the Heat (Video)
I won’t go so far as to say that the Miami Heat are finally rounding into championship form following consecutive victories over the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons, but I will suggest that the back-to-back defending champions have upped their game since entering the month of February.

J.R. Smith Put on a Dunking and Dribbling Clinic Against the Cavs Last Night (Videos)
As much as we have enjoyed making fun of the Knicks and the embarrassing antics of J.R. Smith this season, we’re not going to turn our heads and look the other way when they do something great just so it fits the “Knicks suck” narrative. Don’t get me wrong, the Knicks still do suck. But […]

For Some Reason, Ref Gives Tony Parker a Mulligan After His Embarrassing Free Throw Fail (Video)
San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker isn’t the best free throw shooter in the league. However, he is above average and a long, long way from the bottom of the list. This year, for example, he’s hit his FTs at a solid clip of .803, which puts him 51st in the league. Nothing to […]

New Yorkers have no obvious beef in this year’s Super Bowl, as none of the city’s usual football rivals are playing in the game. However, we all know Wes Welker used to play for the New England Patriots, and in the minds of New Yorkers that means he will always be a New England Patriot. […]

A few weeks ago, Josh Thompson, the head basketball coach at Bishop McGuinness High School in Kernersvill, NC, had a pretty great idea.
