Share this: Nate Robinson still is playing basketball in the NBA Development League, and he did something Saturday that normally is reserved for elementary school playgrounds. He dribbled through another player’s legs. Not just the ball — Robinson and the ball went through another player’s legs. The other player, Edy Tavares, is 7-foot-3 and came over to trap the 5-foot-9 Robinson, which didn’t go entirely how he planned. Take a look at Robinson’s ridiculous move.

Homer Simpson Will Be ‘Inducted’ Into National Baseball Hall Of Fame
Share this: Turns out the National Baseball Hall of Fame honors more than just the game’s all-time greats, as Homer Simpson will be “inducted” on May 27. That’s right, the acclaimed television series “The Simpsons” will be toasted in Cooperstown, N.Y., due to this year being the 25th anniversary of the cult-classic episode “Homer at the Bat.” In the episode, Mr. Burns and Mr. Smithers gather up star baseball players to help the Springfield Power Plant softball team win the championship. They recruit the likes of Ken Griffey Jr., Wade Boggs, Don Mattingly, Roger Clemens, Jose Canseco, Ozzie Smith, Steve Sax, Mike Scioscia and Darryl Strawberry to tilt the odds in their favor. Here’s a short clip from the classic episode. [embedded content] According to the Hall of Fame,
NASCAR, Zac Brown Band Honor Dale Earnhardt Sr. With Beautiful Tribute
Share this: It’s hard to believe, but Sunday will mark the 16th Daytona 500 since Dale Earnhardt Sr. tragically died at the 2001 race. And with the 2017 race at Daytona International Speedway just a day away, NASCAR released a moving tribute set to Zac Brown Band’s “My Old Man” to the elder Earnhardt and his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., on its social media channels Saturday. If your eyes got a bit misty watching that, you weren’t alone. A beautiful tribute to two beloved race car drivers. Thumbnail photo via Mike DiNovo/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
Watch Nationals’ Bryce Harper Hit Massive Home Run In Spring Training Debut
Share this: Bryce Harper already looks ready for Opening Day. The Washington Nationals star outfielder had a subpar 2016 season but he made his spring training debut with a bang Saturday. Harper was facing New York Mets left-hander Sean Gilmartin in the second inning and he put a hurt on the first pitch he saw, blasting it well over the right-center field wall. Take a look at the tape-measure blast below. Harper, the 2015 National League MVP, saw his numbers dip last season as he hit .243 with 24 home runs and 86 RBIs, a far cry from his MVP numbers the year before. The four-time All-Star hit just .226 off lefties in 2016, so opening the spring with a first-pitch homer off a left-hander is certainly
Celtics Wrap: Boston Blows Huge Lead, Suffers Tough 107-97 Loss Vs. Raptors
Share this: Pre-deadline trades 1, standing pat 0. The Boston Celtics didn’t do anything before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, while the teams around them in the standings, including the Toronto Raptors, were active. We’ll have to give the teams’ decisions more than one game to find out what the right decision ultimately was, but Friday night belonged to the Raptors. The Kyle Lowry-less (wrist) Raptors gained ground on the Avery Bradley-less (Achilles) Celtics in the race for the Eastern Conference’s No. 2 seed with a 107-97 win at Air Canada Centre. Isaiah Thomas led the C’s with 20 points and was one of four Boston players in double figures, along with Marcus Smart (19 points), Jae Crowder (19 points) and Jaylen Brown (13 points). DeMar DeRozan
Chiefs Sign RB C.J. Spiller, Possibly Moving On From Jamaal Charles
Share this: The NFL free agency period has not yet begun, but the Kansas City Chiefs have already made a splash. The team announced the signing of veteran running back C.J. Spiller on Friday. The 29-year-old back had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets last season, playing in a total of six games between the two teams. While Spiller is not a marquee signing by any means, the move raised question marks regarding the Chiefs roster. Kansas City already has a plethora of backs, including skilled runners in Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. With strong depth in the backfield, it is believed that the odd man out could be Jamaal Charles. When healthy, Charles has been one of the premier
