The Miami Heat Made a Harlem Shake Video
I know. Another “Harlem Shake” video. Didn’t this thing stop being cool when news anchors started doing it? The answer, of course, is yes. The Harlem Shake isn’t cool anymore, and now it’s starting to get kind of annoying. However, I still think you’re going to find this one amusing. After all, it featured Chris [...]

Toronto Raptors Comedian/Small Forward Mickael Pietrus Messes with Two NBA TV Analysts (Video)
Toronto Raptors forward Mickael Pietrus has carved out a pretty nice career for himself as a solid and reliable bench man. In 10 years with the Warriors, Magic, Suns, Celtics and Raptors, he’s averaged 8.4 points and 3.1 assists in 21.5 minutes per game. So, you know, there are worse guys to have on your [...]

Confused Wizards Announcers Mistake Airball for Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater (Video)
All sports announcers know that, while they must pay close attention to details—things like knowing the rosters and how to pronounce all the names correctly—it’s how they call the big plays that defines them. Nobody really remembers if Al Michaels could pronounce the names of all those Soviet hockey players back in 1980, or if [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 2/27/2013 — Stephen Curry
When picking a deserving candidate for the “Stat Line of the Night,” we often look at players who put up solid numbers for the winning team. But in Stephen Curry’s case, we’ll make an exception. You see, during last night’s game against the New York Knicks, Curry not only delivered the best offensive performance of the night, [...]

Kobe Bryant has taken plenty of heat from the media and from his wife, Vanessa, for his well-documented extramarital affairs. Well, it appears as though it may be Kobe’s turn to throw some stones.

Brawl!: Pacers-Warriors Fight Spills Into Stands (Video)
It’s funny how we view fighting in sports. If it’s hockey, well fighting is no big deal. You duke it out, then you take a five-minute breather and you’re back in the game. No ejection, no suspension, no fine. But if you fight in any of the other major sports leagues? Forget about it. You’re [...]

LeBron James Performs Another Ridiculous Dunk During Pre-Game Warmups (Video)
Prior to last year, I understood why LeBron James never wanted to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest. It wasn’t because he could get injured. It was because the expectations people would have for his performance in such a contest would be off the charts and impossible to live up to. Think about it. [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 2/24/2013 — Kobe Bryant
Prior to yesterday’s NBA match-up between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers, Mavs owner Mark Cuban suggested that the Lakers should consider using the amnesty clause on Kobe Bryant. Well, let’s just say that perhaps Cuban should have waited until after the game to open his mouth, because his comments seemed to inspire [...]

Wale Is No Drake, But According to ‘The Score’ He Is that Guy from ‘Cool Runnings’
The other day we told you how DC-based rapper Wale got into a little argument with Toronto Raptors announcer Matt Devlin. Devlin thought Wale was heckling Toronto’s Rudy Gay, so he started insinuating that nobody even knows who Wale is, and then concluded that, whoever he is, he’s no Drake. Well, that didn’t go over [...]

Classless Bulls Fans Cheer Apparent LeBron James Injury (Video)
Was LeBron James a jerk for ditching Cleveland in the manner that he did? Yes. Was that whole pre-emptive championship celebration they held down in Miami to introduce James and Chris Bosh a little over the top? Of course. Did they all come off like a bunch of d-bags by predicting a championship dynasty? Absolutely. [...]

D.C. Rapper Wale Confronted Toronto Raptors Announcers After They Insulted Him On-Air (Video)
We learned two things about the Toronto Raptors television announcers last night. One, they are serious homers who are very defensive of the team’s players. Two, they don’t know much about hip hop. The Raptors, you see, were in D.C. taking on the Wizards, and Matt Delvin and Leo Rautins, the Raps’ broadcast team, observed [...]

The sports world lost a giant on Monday. Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss died as the result of renal failure brought on by cancer. He was 80 years old.

Lil Wayne-Miami Heat Feud: Weezy Says He Slept with Chris Bosh’s Wife (Video)
Throw Lil Wayne out of a basketball game? He’ll show you. Last week, Weezy tweeted that the Heat kicked him out of the American Airlines Arena in Miami because, in his own words, he was “rootin 4 da lakers.” The Heat, of course, denied that this was the case, and instead claimed that the rapper [...]

Terrence Ross’s Slam Dunk Contest Championship Performance in Super Slow Motion (Videos)
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest always inspires mixed feelings. On the one hand, unless you really enjoy watching B-list celebrities playing basketball, or watching basketball superstars play no defense whatsoever, the Dunk Contest is clearly the most entertaining aspect of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend. On the other hand, every time I watch it, I can’t [...]
