Refs make worst non-call in NBA history, get bailed out by James Harden’s incredible shot

Referees in Thursday's Rockets-Warriors game made the worst non-call in NBA history. This is not an opinion, but a fact that you will agree with wholeheartedly once you see the following video. Good thing, as us ballers on the streets — and Rasheed Wallace — say, “BALL DON'T LIE!”

The mind-blowing sequence happened late in an overtime thriller between the two teams who went to seven games during last year's Western Conference Finals. Golden State's Kevin Durant attempted to save the ball from going out of bounds, but he took three steps out of bounds in order to do so and never re-established himself inbounds before touching the ball. In fact, he had BOTH feet out of bounds as he flicked the ball back in, and yet no whistle was blown, leading to Stephen Curry making the go-ahead shot. Check it out:

Golden Knights have a Topgolf light show now, continue to be the best franchise in sports

The Las Vegas Golden Knights just get it. Sure, sure, they made the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season of existence and have a pre-game show that makes Game of Thrones look like a county Ren Fair, but that's not what we're talking about. What we're really talking about here is their ongoing love affair with our ongoing love affair: Golf.
Back in November the team hosted Bryson “Dr. Frankenstein” Dechambeau, and he nearly ripped his hand off ringing the ol' air raid siren…

…and now the Knights have added a Topgolf-themed light show to their pre-puck festivities, replete with a spotlight “golf ball” and a bunch of hammered Vegas locals howling every time it hits one of those splashy targets. Throw a t-shirt gun and an ATV into the mix, and you've got one hell of a sports stew going:

Dustin Johnson and his caddie spent the entire off-season studying golf’s new rules (Kidding!)

JOHANNES EISELEAs golf fans are well aware, Dustin Johnson has had two of the more famous rules run-ins in recent golf history. There was the accidental grounding of his club in a waste bunker that cost him the 2010 PGA Championship and the accidental micro-moving of his golf ball that nearly cost him the 2016 U.S. Open. So with a major revision of golf's rules taking effect at the start of this year, it made sense that the former World No. 1 was asked if he's stayed abreast of the changes. And — perhaps, not surprisingly — it doesn't sound like he has.
Here's an exchange Johnson had at his Wednesday press conference ahead of this week's Sentry Tournament of Champions, where DJ is the defending champ:
Q. I know you joked about it there at the start but have you paid any attention to the rules changes or how much effort have you put into looking at what the changes will be?
DUSTIN JOHNSON: I actually just looked at it for like a minute upstairs before I came dow..

Rory McIlroy’s jab of Brian Harman is vintage short guy on short guy crime

Richard HeathcoteGolf fans are hoping for a Rory McIlroy resurgence in 2019, because when he's on, there are few players as electric to watch as the four-time major winner. Judging by his early-season press-conference form, they could get their wish, as it appears the Northern Irishman is out for blood.

While meeting with the media at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, a tournament McIlroy qualified for by way of his win at Bay Hill last season, he was asked about arguably the biggest hot-button issue in golf right now: the new Rules. First, he tweaked a voluntary rules meeting for the players, saying “that rules meeting was voluntary, and I voluntarily didn't go,” before bursting into laughter.
Clearly firing on all cylinders, McIlroy expanded a bit more on how the new changes could affect the game, specifically the new rule that allows players to drop from their k..

High-school basketball player gets absolutely cleaned out by backboard while going for block

High schoolers have always been susceptible to dangerous trends. From drugs to eraser burns to whatever the hell it is kids are doing these days, 14-18 year olds are regularly led like lemmings to the cliff, all too often by older role models who they look up to. Take Zion Williamson for example. By most accounts, the moon-booted Duke freshman has been a model citizen since he began jumping out of Cameron Indoor this fall. A few weeks ago, however, he launched an alarming craze when, in the middle of a game versus Princeton, he leaped so high for a block, that he hit head on the backboard. The internet, including us, celebrated this as an athletic achievement:

What we could not foresee then, however, was that soon every high school basketball player in America would seen be trying to bounce their dome piece off the glass in order to [air quotes] “Be Like Zion.” Take Iowa jump man Blaise Meredith, for instance, who took the Zion..
