You just don't see magic like this in the NBA. Mostly because a professional athlete would probably never lob the ball backwards over his head.

The Harlem Globetrotters are celebrating an anniversary today of 85 years of playing basketball and entertaining people all over the world. The Globetrotters got their start in 1926 as the Savoy Five playing their first game on January 7th, 1927 as the Globetrotters. The ‘Harlem’ in the Globetrotter name came from the neighborhood in New York City but the Globetrotters played in Chicago.

Now we remember why we didn't make the NBA cut — we can't defy gravity.

The Christmas Day NBA games are becoming quite the tradition around the country, but why did the NBA feel the need to give the teams different uniforms?

Hanukkah's almost over. Bring your celebration to the most awkward end possible, by playing this nonstop. It's the Houston Rockets singing 'Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel,' courtesy of our friends at Dumb as a Blog. Really it's more like attempting to sing...

Zach Hodskins, a 6'2 Junior for Milton High School in Georgia, was born with just one arm. That didn't stop him from becoming an insanely good basketball player. His highlight reel shows he can do just about anything on the court. This makes us feel awful about our athletic ability...

Apparently there is a new trend going on in the NBA: the complete overreaction by referees.

Some basketball players like Shaq and John Salley have shown their musical prowesses off the court, or even made a second career out of their vocal skills (or lack thereof). But, at other times, NBA players without any vocal abilities have dipped their toes into the waters of the music world thanks to cameos in music videos.

We're not positive what just happened but we are absolutely elated that it did. Coming in as the basketball shot heard around the world, this guy makes Shaq's abhorrent excuse for a free throw look like a game-winning miracle.

Now that the NBA season is in full swing, it's time to get down to the important stuff. Like who's rocking the best hair.

I know it's a little premature, what with Anderson only being in 1st grade but...you never know! Maybe a future star will arise in this bunch!

Most major college football conferences will anoint their champions this weekend, and Major League Soccer will award the 2012 MLS Cup. Here's what to watch this weekend:

The laundry list of problems with NBA referee Joey Crawford just got a little longer.

Thanksgiving Day NFL games and college football rivalries dominate the upcoming sports calendar. Here's what to watch this holiday weekend:
