We don’t give the NBA a lot of love over here, partly because there are other sites that do it much better than we ever could, but also because there’s a handful of NBA players that just seemed to have been anointed as “stars” without really having done anything other than get the benefit of a few borderline calls (and others not-so-borderline). And Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has always been Exhibit A of that for me. From 2006 to 2007, he got every call. EVERY call. And then I heard he went to a diner and only tipped 15 percent!

So anyway, I personally enjoyed watching him get pwned twice over by LeBron James in the Heat’s game with Cleveland last night. James dunked on Wade in the second quarter and then, at the end of the game, James intercepted an ill-advised behind-the-back pass from Wade, and took it to the hole. James took the foul and hit both free throws for the win. And then Wade probably went and hung out with the WWE’s Randy Orton, because I bet those guys have a lot in common.

Here’s video of the dunk. Check out the steal after the jump.

Believe it or not, we will eventually run out of oil on this planet, and then what will Sammy Sosa use to make his hair look more Caucasian? But until then, these Saudis can pop open a barrel of light sweet crude in celebration of this two-second goal. Not a bad way to start a game. The last time I scored that fast, she made me put my clothes back on and leave. At least I made it home in time for Conan. –Sportress of Blogitude.

Andrew Symonds, an allrounder for the Aussie national cricket team, trained with a professional rugby club during the last offseason, and it paid off when he leveled some jackass who thought it would be cool to show thousands of people his junk. 

People, there's a time and a place to run around and naked, and it's the girls' locker room after a high school volleyball game, not a professional cricket match.

I'm not quite sure how this works, but a Russian stripper — the one who helped dress up Oscar de la Hoya in women's underwear, then took photos of him, then sold those photos TO newspapers — is now suing de la Hoya.  For, um… yeah I don't understand the court system at all.

[Milana] Dravnel's "image has been tarnished, and [she] was portrayed as a liar to the press," Dravnel's attorney, Salvatore Strazzullo, wrote in the lawsuit, filed in New York County…

Dravnel's attorney said she is "one of the most beautiful women in modeling, she's well worth her weight in gold. But now she's out of work, she's like kryptonite, everyone thinks she's a fraud and a basic fabricator. So we want a public apology from De La Hoya, and monetary damages." The lawsuit said Dravnel has "suffered from increased, severe levels of stress, anxiety and depression" and "has been unable to work since the incident."

Man, it's terrible when a girl who got work photographing famous dudes in women's underwear can't get work photographing famous dudes in women's underwear because she sold photographs of famous dudes in women's underwear.  I hope she takes him for everything he's got, what with the way he betrayed her trust and smeared her good public image.

I just saw Amanda Beard naked, yet this video is still the best thing I've seen all day.  God bless whoever invented slo-mo.

This video has been around for a couple months, but if you haven't seen it, I won't ruin the surprise.  Let's just say that one lucky bicyclist takes a different route into the lake. 

And children, if you're watching, I can't stress this enough: these kinds of stunts absolutely should not be attempted… unless one of your friends is videotaping it.  Then full speed ahead, baby.  Helmets optional.
