Bucks Center Larry Sanders Elbowed Referee Bill Kennedy in the Face on the Opening Tipoff Last Night (Video)

Pistons’ Jose Calderon Almost Walks Into the Wrong Locker Room During His Return to Toronto (Video)
When an athlete spends a long time playing in one city, you know it has to feel weird when he returns to that place for the first time as a member of another team. I mean, if it’s strange for the fans to see that guy in another uniform, imagine what it must feel like [...]

Watch President Barack Obama Lay Bricks on the Basketball Court (Video)
Reporters often will ask famous people what they would have been if they weren’t what they are. The idea, of course, is to learn something about these people.

Chicago Bulls Fan Tries to Steal LeBron James’ Sweatband Right Off His Head (Video)
It’s pretty common these days for pro athletes to toss souvenirs to fans after a game. Hockey players give sticks, baseball players give balls and bats, and basketball players—as gross as it sounds—will sometimes toss their sweaty head and wristbands. Of course, they typically only do this at home, because opposing fans usually don’t want [...]

Jimmy Butler Posterized Chris Bosh (Video)
The Miami Heat walked into the United Center in Chicago like gangbusters, but unfortunately for them, they ran into a Bulls team that was motivated to play the role of “streakbusters.” And in addition to stopping streaks, which they did via a 101-97 victory, the Chicago Bulls were also in the mood to make some [...]

Kirk Hinrich Tackles LeBron James, Bulls End Miami Heat’s Winning-Streak at 27 (Video)
Well, it’s over. After 27 games and 7½ weeks, the Miami Heat have finally lost a game. Last night in Chicago, the Bulls actually figured out how to stop this freight train, and it came to a halt just six wins shy of tying the all-time record of 33 straight wins set by the 1971-72 [...]

Dude Proposes to Girlfriend at Halftime of Orlando Magic Game (Video)
A lot of guys propose to their girlfriends at sporting events and, frankly, I’m not sure why. Even if the woman in question happens to be a huge sports nut, the odds that she wants to get engaged in front of 20,000 drunk basketball fans seems pretty slim. Chicks want rose petals and gondola rides [...]

JaVale McGee Gives Us the Block of the Year (Video)
While everyone has been busy talking about the Miami Heat’s historic 24-game (and counting) winning streak, the Denver Nuggets have put together a pretty nice little winning streak of their own. After their last loss, which came against the Wizards of all teams on February 22, Denver was a respectable 34-22. Now, 14 straight wins [...]

Cleveland Cavaliers Fan with Message for LeBron James Runs Onto the Court (Video)
Ever since LeBron James ditched his home town of Cleveland live on ESPN, the guy has been enemy number one in that old berg.

Chris Paul’s Flop Against the Kings is an Embarrassment to Basketball (Video)
Lob City? More like Flop City! Chris Paul may be the best point guard in the NBA at the moment, but his flop during last night’s loss to the Sacramento Kings can only be described as a travesty to the game of basketball. It’s one thing to embellish contact. But Paul wasn’t even contacted by [...]

Pot-Bellied Serbian Basketball Fan Really Knows How to Work the Crowd (Video)
Back in December we showed you video of a very unlucky Gonzaga basketball fan who “won” the chance to take a half-court shot during halftime, then gave us possibly the worst such attempt of all-time. It was funny but, you know, also kind of sad. After flubbing the shot, the dude hung his head in [...]
