New York Knicks small forward Camelo Anthony made it rain indoors at the All-Star game the other night. He made it rain three-pointers, that is.

Jason Collins' decision to become the first openly-gay player in American pro sports may have inspired a high school basketball coach to follow suit.

You don't always need to feel embarrassed when a dude in a Lycra bodysuit schools you at streetball. If the schooling is done by The Professor, it's totally acceptable to get trounced on the court.

It's okay, Tim. We couldn't believe it when we first found ours too. When we were babies.

The NBA playoffs is no time for child's play. Or is it?

If you've been hiding under a rock, or just somehow not on the internet at all today, here's a newsflash -- Jason Collins is now the first active NBA player to be openly gay.

Sorry, it's not that Usher. Regardless, he's still got the beat so might as well move those feet, right?

Now that March Madness is getting into full swing, it’s time to bring out the fails, y’all! We’ve already covered mascots, so this time around we’re spotlighting awful slam dunk attempts.

This guy is so totally busted. He thought he could get away with not giving one tiny spoonful of mint chocolate chip ice cream to his girlfriend at a basketball game, but now everybody knows it, thanks to a hilarious play-by-play by Isaiah Thomas and C-Webb.

If you're into the craziness that is March Madness, chances are you've already filled out your brackets. While we wouldn't necessarily call ourselves basketball savants, we do have a feeling your predictions are missing a potential tournament leader. The sneaky underdogs. Ladies and gents, we're talking about basketball-savvy pups.

Honestly, you don't even need to be a sports fan to enjoy this one. During a recent game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Detroit Pistons, the Clippers own DeAndre Jordan rocked the house when he successfully landed a "monster" alley-oop over Pistons player Brandon Knight. It was a shot that caused an immense uproar inside the Staples Center, one which you might still be able to

The internet has been on a roll with the half court shot videos lately. Still, in terms of impressiveness, this one is going to be pretty hard to beat. It's hard enough to sink a shot from half court, but this cheerleader also did some fancy gymnastics stuff first...

Granted, if it were a grown up doing these shots, they probably wouldn't classify as trick shots, but when the person isn't even old enough to make a sandwich, come on -- it's pretty impressive.

The pressures of a half-court shot are immense enough with having to worry about sinking said shot, averting an air ball or even making sure the basketball succeeds in making the long flight to the hoop. But this guy, Kevin, appears to have encountered a whole different worry we never saw coming -- like when your ball gets stuck between the hoop and a backboard.

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.
