Watch streetball legend Hot Sauce absolutely school poor Atlanta Hawks fans

The Atlanta Hawks are currently tied for the worst record (14-33) in the entire NBA. But they have arguably the league's best form of fan entertainment. And it involves the fans themselves.

The Hawks do a segment involving streetball legend Hot Sauce. If you don't know who Hot Sauce is, then you never saw any of the And1 Mixtape Tour. And if you've never seen any of the And1 MixTape Tour, well, that's a shame. Anyway, Hot Sauce still plays/performs, and lucky fans get a chance to try to defend this dribbling dynamo. Or unlucky depending on your perspective, because these fans get absolutely schooled in front of the Philips Arena crowd. Check it out:

It's pretty rough when Hot Sauce starts with the ol' ball off the forehead. That's gotta hurt the noggin and the self pride. Then there's this clip of a guy who actually..

Police called on Kansas fan that showed up to the players’ dorm offering free throw advice

Watching one of your teams struggle from the couch is as frustrating as it gets. In the midst of you're screaming at the TV and beer-sipping, the realization often sets in that there's nothing you can personally do about it. Well, maybe that's just because you aren't as insane as this Kansas Jayhawks fan who took matters into his own hands.
On Tuesday, No. 5 ranked Kansas had a 10-point lead with under 10 minutes to play on the road against No. 12 ranked Oklahoma. With the help of the crowd, and some strategy by Sooners coach Lon Kruger, Oklahoma came storming back to win 85-80. Late in the game, Kruger had his team foul Kansas center Udoka Azubuike, who would end up finishing the game 1-for-7 from the free throw line. As a team Kansas went 6-for-14, giving them an ugly 42.9 percentage on the night. This didn't sit well with one Jayhawk fan, who reportedly showed up to the players dorm on Wednesday offering “free throw advice”. His counseling must have been wor..

Jamie Donaldson leads way in Dubai at 10-under 62

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Jamie Donaldson flirted with the European Tour’s first-ever 59 before settling for a 10-under 62 Thursday in the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

In perfect scoring conditions at the Emirates Golf Club, the 42-year-old Donaldson took a one-shot lead over Anthony Wall and David Horsey.

Tyrrell Hatton (64) was fourth, while four-time major winner Rory McIlroy was among five players at 65.

Donaldson, a former European Ryder Cup player now ranked 292nd, started on the 10th hole and made four birdies and an eagle to make the turn at 6 under.

He then birdied the second before picking up four shots in a row from the fourth. He went close to chipping in for another birdie on the 17th but missed his up-and-down for par from the rough at the ninth.

Donaldson, who last won on the tour at the 2014 Czech Masters, said the thought of becoming the first player to shoot a 59 crossed his mind.

”You can never be disappoint..

Tiger makes another return to the PGA Tour

SAN DIEGO (AP) Tiger Woods has played only 23 events on the PGA Tour since his last victory.

He also has gone more than four years without winning.

That shows just how much back problems have sidelined Woods since that victory in the Bridgestone Invitational in August 2013 when he was No. 1 in the world. His next comeback starts Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, and Woods checks in at No. 647.

There’s a reason for the ranking. This will be only his second PGA Tour event since he tied for 10th at the Wyndham Championship in August 2015, so long ago that Jon Rahm – the No. 2 player in the world – was just starting his senior year at Arizona State.

”I just really haven’t played tournament golf in, well, basically since Wyndham in 2015,” Woods said. ”It’s been a long time and so I just want some starts, I want to start feeling what it feels like to be out here and hit shots, grind out scores. It’s been a full year that I’ve played on the Tour so I..

Tiger Woods confident his back will hold out this time

SAN DIEGO (AP) Tiger Woods is more confident than ever that his return to the PGA Tour will be different this time.

It’s not so much how he plays, but rather for how long.

”I have no more pain in my back,” Woods said Wednesday.

Article continues below …

That wasn’t the case a year ago. Woods was coming off the longest break of his career following two back surgeries when he played the Hero World Challenge and showed promise by making 24 birdies against an 18-man field with no cut. But then he missed the 36-hole cut at Torrey Pines, and lasted one round in Dubai before withdrawing with back spasms.

Fusion surgery on his lower back followed two months later, and now Woods is on the same track as he was last year – with one exception.

”I was trying to manage the disk and the vertebrae,” Woods said after his pro-am round in the Farmers Insurance Open. ”But it’s all finished now. It’s fused, and the quality of life is infinitely better than it was last year at this point.”
