So Kobe Bryant’s L.A. Lakers will probably be winning the NBA Finals tomorrow night or, in the case of an Orlando Magic win, sometime early next week. In anticipation of the sure-fire pick for Finals MVP, and already crowned the regular season MVP, we pass along The Hoop Doctors’ vidsticle of Kobe Bryant’s Top 10 [...]

This year’s fairly spectacular NHL Finals are headed down to the wire, with the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburg Penguins now duking it out in a best-of-three deathmatch (game one of which is tonight!). Pro hockey ain’t always so spectacularly tense, though, as The Angry T’s listicle of 12 Awkward NHL Fights demonstrates. The worst [...]

Sure, athletes do incredible things with their bodies, but in these days of augmented performances (drugs, sci-fi swimwear and rocket shoes) aren’t our most iconic athletes actually turning into fictional heroes? We think so, hence InGameNow’s listicle of the Top 10 Fictional Athletes of All Time. We’re tempted to take issue with some of the [...]

It’s starting to look awful Springtime-y this edition of Sporty Saturdays, and so we’re thinking that instead of our usual movie marathon we might get out and do something fun (and active, yay!). Whatever we do out there, though, we won’t go golfing because, you know, golf courses are bad for the environment and generate [...]

Okay, so admittedly we also devoted last week’s edition of Sporty Saturdays to the NHL, but it’s playoff time so what else can we do? And besides, that vidsticle of the worst shootout moments was an exercise in frustrated expectations, whereas this week’s vidsticle of the Top 10 Stick Saves in NHL History (passed along [...]

The NBA and NHL are in the midst of their playoffs, tensions are high, the pressure is on, and nobody wants to be the guy who screwed it all up. Nobody, for instance, would want to do something as boneheaded and disastrous as what the players in YepYep’s Top 10 Worst NHL Shootout Moments vidsticle [...]

The new Mike Tyson biopic Tyson – which, apparently, is more of an embedded fan video – opened yesterday, so it’s only fitting that we would pay our own little homage to Iron Mike in our weekly sports column, Sporty Saturdays. Our friends at Unreality, as it turns out, did most of our work for [...]

Inevitably, rough stuff happens in competitive sports. That, as they say, is just the nature of the game – any game. And in professional sports’ mythologyzing cycle of masculinist machismo, a crotch shot is just about the most painful – symbolically if not physically – of hits. Complex picks some of pro basketball’s greatest crotch [...]

Today is the last Saturday of the NBA’s regular season, so for our weekly Sporty Saturdays post we’re looking at the league’s reigning superstar Lebron James, whose Cleveland Cavaliers will likely finish with the best (or second-best, depending on Kobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers) record when the season ends on Wednesday. In celebration of [...]

Athletes are shockingly superstitious at times (Michael Jordan, you may know, wore his North Carolina Tar Heels shorts under his NBA shorts for his entire career). Perusing Cracked’s listicle of 6 Incredible Sports Curses, we especially enjoyed the story about Australia’s soccer team, which hired a witch doctor to set up a curse against their [...]
