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.

Charlotte Bobcats Provide a Nut-Cracking Halftime Show (GIF)
The 2012-13 NBA season is two and a half weeks old now, but there is still one sad, pathetic team who has yet to win their first game. And, unbelievably, it’s not the Bobcats. They are actually 4-3. No, it’s the Washington Wizards. They are 0-7. And interestingly enough, the Wizards were in Charlotte on [...]

Wizards’ Nick Young Airs It Out On A Layup (Video)
After watching Rajon Rondo make a mess out of his breakaway layup attempt during Tuesday night’s game between the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets, I didn’t believe I’d see a miss as embarrassing as that one in a while… …and then I was treated to this laughable highlight from last night’s game between the [...]

JaVale McGee Does Another JaVale McGee-like Thing (Video)
Stupid plays, like performing an off-the-backboard alley-oop slam when his 1-11 team in trailing in the third quarter, have helped put JaVale McGee in the doghouse this season. His antics during last night’s game against the Sacramento Kings certainly don’t make it appear as though he will be leaving that doghouse anytime soon. With the [...]

12 Best NBA Court Designs Of 2012
The NBA certainly has its share of problems (like commissioner David Stern). But if there’s one thing the league has going for it, it’s that it looks good on TV. And in an age when every single game is televised, looking good on TV really matters. In fact, I would argue that, among the big [...]

JaVale McGee And Nick Young Take The Cinnamon Challange (Video)
For those of you who have never taken the cinnamon challenge, I’d strongly advise against it. Sure, eating a spoon full of cinnamon sounds easy and awfully delicious as well, but it isn’t! Trust me! I’ve tried it before and it is actually one of the most unpleasant things I have ever experienced. But for [...]

John Wall’s Opening Pitch May Be The Worst Opening Pitch In The History Of Opening Pitches (Video)
John Wall can dribble and shoot with the best of them, but luckily for him his ability to throw a ball wasn’t tested prior to the 2010 NBA Draft, else the first-overall pick likely would have fallen out of the first round. Wall was asked to throw out the opening pitch prior to Friday’s game [...]
