  1. Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger Wants Basketball Playoffs ...

    Chris Ryan

    About a year ago, Bayern Munich played Chelsea in the Champions League final, losing on penalty kicks. It was a heartbreaker; Bayern were, overall, probably a better team, and they were playing in front of their home crowd at Allianz Arena. What did ...

  3. Letting the Wookiee Win: A Journey Through All-Star Weekend

  6. We Went There: Thunder-Clippers

    Chris Ryan

    Kevin Durant is now method branding. You may be familiar with this new "KD IS NOT NICE," or ("#KDISNOTNICE" for my Twitterati) Nike campaign. I can't claim to call this one for the chicken or the egg (was he always not nice or is he being not nice be...

    My man was in Heathers. Respect him. You can see a bunch of other photos of the "Battioke Night" — a benefit for the Take Charge Foundation (how perfect is it that Shane Battier named his foundation "Take Charge"?) — over at HoopsHype. Th...

    Chris Ryan

    This comes to us via Michael from Sacramento. If you want to really push yourself, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, spend some time figuring out which Wildcat is which member of The Wu-Tang Clan. If you ask me, our founding fathers wrote the C...

  11. Can Gerald Green Dunking on People Be the Pacers' New Offense?

    Chris Ryan

    I'm going to have to run this by Zach Lowe, but I think this one has legs ... or at the very least booster rockets. Indiana beat Cleveland in a GAH IT'S ALMOST THE SEASON preseason matchup last night. Gerald Green was +20 in 29 minutes of playing ...

  12. Kobe Bryant Lets a Little Kid Beat Him at Basketball

    Chris Ryan

    Doesn't this warm your heart? You know what else warms the heart? The idea that this little kid grows up and enters the NBA, with hope in his heart. With love in his heart. AND THEN KOBE BRYANT COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT AND PUTS 65 POINTS ON HIM AND MA...

  13. Quick Question: Are These Trick Shots Real?

    Chris Ryan

    I don't want to come off as a guy who thinks Avatar is a documentary or anything. It's just hard to tell. This comes to us via Chuck Klosterman, who longingly wondered if "something happened with computers I don't know about." There is some kind of i...

    This will kick-start your heart. Also, while I have you all here, isn't this a great little moment? It's almost like, right there, during that hug, when Durant walks up to Gasol and Kobe, that's when the Olympics end and the NBA season ...

    Chris Ryan

    Has anyone checked on Diego Maradona? The far left end of the bench, where Tyson and Kobe sit, has the most "GTFO" reaction. Kobe whipping the towel, and Tyson going beast-mode. Let me sit there. Then there's Kevin Love, who seriously would rather be...
