ESPN's Skip Bayless has always been known as a bit of a blowhard. He is in the sports news constantly, but almost always for being a lightning rod that nobody agrees with.

This dad and daughter had a deal: Dad makes a difficult trick basketball shot and he never has to give his daughter another cent for anything! What could go wrong for the daughter? The shot will be impossible! Well, maybe not that impossible after all ... .

Eric Zane's son's friend forwarded this video to Zane this week. He and his friend just shot it the other day in Jenison, Mich.

The New Orleans Pelicans unveiled their new mascot, Pierre the Pelican, to widespread approval cries of abject terror last week. Wondering why his mouth is so wide? So he can more easily swallow your soul, of course! Joking aside, basketball fans on Twitter had some hilarious reactions to the curious mascot choice for the Pelicans, who not only changed their team name recently but their uniform, t

Appalachian State University has a lot of be proud of. Good school with a Top 25 ranking (#22) with Mid-Major school basketball program. However, center, Brian Okam is probably not feeling so hot, as he put the school on the national radar for the wrong reason.

The extremely accurate foursome of Dude Perfect are pioneers of the trick shot video genre, and hold what is believed to be the world record for longest basketball shot. In their latest effort, they challenge frisbee wizard Brodie Smith to a trick shot showdown.

This definitely isn’t a guy you’d want to play in H-O-R-S-E. Now the question is, did he make it in one take?

The Washington Wizards point guard had the honor of throwing out the first pitch at Friday’s game between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles. Unfortunately, his skills on the field weren’t nearly as good as they are on the court, resulting in one of the more awkward first-pitch moments in rece

99X and Hebert's Town and Country want to congratulate our winners of Make 4 for the Final Four! Eddie Gallier and Chris Stansell each won tickets and hotel for the NCAA Final Four Championship Game Monday, April 4, 2011 at Reliant Stadium in Houston Texas.

I'm sure with our Make 4 for the Final 4 contest coming up, you wish you had theses skills. Taiwan isn't exactly a basketball power, but that could all change if the rules of the game are amended to allow giant robot seals onto the court. For some reason, Taiwanese engineers have constructed a robotic seal that can throw a basketball through a hoop with 99 percent accuracy from ten feet out. The v

Caltech . . . in Pasadena, California . . . is more like a brain factory than a school.   With less than 1,000 undergraduate students a year, 31 Nobel Prize winners it has been the breeding ground for some of the best science and engineering minds in the history of America. It also proves the point that super smart and super coordinated don't go together.  In fact, Caltech doesn't give out athleti
