Defending against the Oklahoma City Thunder’s offense is no easy task and the Los Angeles Lakers learned that lesson firsthand last night. Sure, they were able to hold the NBA’s top scorer, Kevin Durant, to just(?) 26 points, but they had no answer for Russell Westbrook. The Thunder’s all-star guard was having his way with [...]

The 9 Worst Performances of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Wrigley Field
The Chicago Cubs recently announced that they have decided to pull the plug on a Wrigley Field tradition: celebrity guests singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the 7th inning stretch.

Fans Fight in Stands at College Hockey Game in Alaska (Video)
They don’t have a lot of big-time sports up in Alaska. However, one thing they do have is NCAA Division I hockey, and every year the two biggest programs in the state—the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Nanooks and the University of Alaska (UAA) Anchorage Seawolves—play a three-game series for state bragging rights and the [...]

Behold the Most Pathetic Attempt at a Hockey Fight of All-Time (Video)
It would be unreasonable to expect every hockey fight to be epic. Even in a league like the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey, a small-time pro league that’s pretty much made up entirely of goons, the fights can’t all be Ali-Frazier…or even Mirasty-Gillies.

J.J. Barea Hurled Foul Language at Ray Allen Following an Altercation Last Night (Video)
It’s always fun when players are mic’d up for games so you can hear exactly what they’re saying to each other in the heat of the action. However, it’s even more fun when they aren’t mic’d up, because then we get to decide for ourselves what they are saying. And in some cases—like the video [...]

After losing their first three games, and seven of their first ten to start the lockout-shortened season, the Los Angeles Kings’ chances of repeating as Stanley Cup champions were not looking good.

Check Out the Orlando Magic Dancing Dads (Video)
Cheerleaders have always been a great way for basketball teams to entertain their fans during timeouts, between quarters and at halftime of home games.

Racism in Soccer: 300 Fans of Beitar Jerusalem FC Walk Out When Muslin Player Scores Goal (Video)
Racism is a big problem in soccer. You no doubt already know that if you watch SportsCenter (or SportsCentre, if you’re Canadian) on a daily basis, or if you are a regular reader of TotalProSports. However, if you’re like me, you probably thought this racism was mostly limited to European soccer hooligans. Unfortunately, it turns [...]

Sidney Crosby Uses Soccer Skills to Set Up a Pretty Goal (Video)
Most NHL teams these days have at least one group of players that likes to warm up before a game by juggling a soccer ball. The reason? Well, it’s a great way to get your heart rate up and stay loose, for one. But more importantly, it’s a great way to improve your footwork or, [...]
