There were a lot of questions surrounding the release of Apple's new iPhone 5. Would it be thinner and lighter? Would it have a larger screen? Would it allow humans to speak directly to dolphins? (O.K., maybe I'm the only one that was wondering about that last question.) But New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert had an even more important question that he wanted answered: How would the iPhone 5 work as a basketball? To find out the answer he decided to take a brand new iPhone to a basketball court and discovered that—wait for it—the iPhone makes for a really horrible basketball. Let us all say it together now: "DUH!"

What do you think of Iman Shumpert dunking an iPhone? More »

FOOTBALL HAS BEGUN!!! YYYYYEEEEHHHHAAAWWWW!!!!! After a crazy weekend in the NFL, both pro and college football are officially rolling full speed ahead and I couldn’t be more pumped. Now that we have football every weekend again, you know what else that means? We get to tailgate!

Is there anything better than cranking up the grill outside and torching hamburgers and hot dogs and (the Professor’s personal favorite) brats? Of course not. The other awesome part about tailgating is all the cool outdoor games you can play with your friends and family. Now you can upgrade your game kits with a bunch of new takes on all the great classics from Sportcraft.

NBA All-Star weekend is finally here! NBA fans have a whole weekend to soak in the league’s best players putting on a show, from the celebrity game to the rookie-sophomore contest all the way to main event on Sunday evening.

Legends are made in the dunk contest. We all wish we could fly through the air and pull off some of the most iconic dunks, but most of us, myself included, can’t jump high enough to do a 360 tomahawk on a regulation 10-foot rim.
