Thanks to one of our Twitter followers, “LeftLane6_CEO,” for sending us this video of trick shot artist B. Manley. Dude has a litany of videos on YouTube, but this one is crazy. At one point he knocks down back-to-back crazy shots in the same clip to debunk the idea they caught one lucky shot on tape.

In case you missed it over the weekend, on Halloween night, the Kings played in San Antonio. The game was momentarily stopped because a bat (Seriously. On Halloween.) was flying onto the court.

Everyone everywhere is previewing and ranking everything there is to possibly preview and rank heading in to the NBA season, so here’s one more: a solid ranking of the NBA’s best dance teams.

Our friends over at Blaze of Love did the dirty work and put together their semi-definitive list. A few squads are missing but in general the whole thing seems to be pretty on point. Aside from what looks to be our favorite, the above pictured Atlanta Hawks A-Town Dancers (coming in at No. 4 on Blaze of Love’s list), here are a few of our other standout favorites: Read More »

Today’s Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day comes courtesy of the Bulls’ enigmatic forward Tyrus Thomas.
