LeBron James 9/11 Tweet Gets Truly Baffling (and Gross) Response
A Lebron James 9/11 Tweet reminded us, once again, that no good deed goes unpunished. After a brief, heartfelt mention of 9/11 and its significance, Lebron James‘ 9/11 Tweet was met with a surprising, and truly disgusting, response. Of course, the response was made all the more vulgar because it was in response to United […]

He Does It Again: The Jeremy Lin Wax Statue Prank FTW (Video)
If you thought that Madame Tussaud’s in San Francisco was missing a Jeremy Lin wax statue…so did Jeremy Lin. In another of his glorious line of pranks, Lin took to the tourist trap to pose as a Jeremy Lin wax statue, only to scare the crap out of those that cozied up to him/it. At […]

Roy Hibbert Witnesses Police Officer Giving Boots to a Homeless Man (Pic)
Strictly speaking, a police officer giving boots to a homeless man has nothing to do with sports. However, when that act of charity is witnessed and then publicized by a very famous professional athlete—in this case, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert—then it kinda becomes a sports story, doesn’t it? Hibbert was driving around Indianapolis on […]

Frank Caliendo Reads Allen Iverson’s Famous “Practice” Rant in the Voice of Morgan Freeman (Video)
Back in July, impressionist Frank Caliendo went on ESPN’s Mike & Mike show and read the article LeBron James wrote explaining his decision to return to Cleveland. However, as you probably guessed, he didn’t read it in his own voice. He read it in the voice of Morgan Freeman. Obviously, it was very funny. So […]

Manny Pacquio Is Way Better at Basketball than Singing (Video)
The other day I said Manny Pacquiao was a renaissance man who, in addition to being one of the greatest boxers in the world, was also a politician, pro basketball player, and a fantastic singer. Of course, I was lying about the singing part. Pacquiao really does have a few records to his name, but […]

Here’s a Soccer-Style Jersey with Sponsor for Every NBA Team (Gallery)
Avid sports design lovers have been re-imagining team uniforms and logos for as long as there have been team uniforms and logos. And I should know, because I used to spend hours upon hours doing just that as a kid. However, when I was a kid (a) I sucked at drawing and (b) there was […]

New Zealand Basketball Team Performs Haka Prior to FIBA World Cup Match vs. USA (Video)
We’re used to seeing New Zealand athletes perform the Haka on a rugby field, but on a basketball court? Yeah, that just seems strange. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so. Check out the looks on Derrick Rose and James Harden‘s faces as the New Zealand men’s basketball team performs their traditional ancestral […]

Does Gregg Popovich ‘Give a Damn’ About the Names of His Players? No, He Does Not. (Video)
In another awesome instance of Gregg Popovich being Gregg Popovich, the Bill Belichick of the NBA told some players he was using to demonstrate an offense, “I don’t give a damn what your names are.” Awesome, Gregg. You really earned that extra “g” with that zinger. He says, within seconds of introductions, “I’ll forget your […]

Jamal Crawford Got Sir Mix-a-Lot to Perform “Baby Got Back” at His Wedding (Video)
I don’t know how it happened, but somehow “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-a-Lot—a song all about how this one fat guy only wants to have sex with women who have large butts—has become a wedding reception standard. If you had told me this when I was a kid I never would have believed you. […]

Brittney Griner Delivers First Dunk in WNBA Playoffs History (Video)
Brittney Griner has made a lot of history in her relatively short professional basketball career. For starters, at 6’8″ she is the tallest woman in the WNBA and the fifth-tallest in the history of international women’s basketball. Then she came out as gay in 2013, and in 2014 she announced she is engaged to fellow […]

Jeremy Lin Gives His Mom a Pie in the Face for Her Birthday (Video)
I am not a mother, and unless they make some pretty incredible advances in medical science, I never will be. However, I am going to go out on a limb and say most mothers probably don’t want to get a pie in the face from their children on their birthday. But hey, different strokes for […]

We’re Sick of Posting Ice Bucket Challenge Videos Too, But This One Has Michael Jordan (Video)
Ice. Bucket. Challenge. You’ve probably read the words so many times they’ve lost all meaning. We feel you. We empathize. We acknowledge our part in perpetuating this thing to ridiculous lengths. Even if it’s for a good cause, we understand if you’ve had enough. So we’re just going to ask you to indulge us one more time, […]

Here’s Some Awesome Long Lost Footage of Kobe Bryant Dominating a High School Game (Video)
These days, every standout basketball player is filmed extensively, and the footage is archived on the internet. This is because everybody has an HD camera on them at all times and, of course, because the internet exists. Back in the mid 1990s, when Kobe Bryant was in high school, that was not the case. Technically […]

Steve Ballmer Came Out To Eminem and Got REALLY Excited During His First Clippers Press Conference (Video)
Good for Steve Ballmer. The guy has pretty much all the money in the entire world, but still manages to get insanely enthusiastic about a paltry $2 billion investment he made in the Los Angeles Clippers. If I had been a billionaire for as long as he has, I don’t know what would excite me. […]

Here’s a Sculpture of Kobe Bryant Getting Attacked by a Giant Snake (Pics)
It really shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are a number of Kobe Bryant statues out there. After all, he’s one of the NBA’s all-time great champions, and one day you’ll probably see a giant bronze likeness of the guy right outside the Staples Center. However, unlike that future Kobe statue, the one we’re talking about […]
