The excitement of March Madness has petered down to the middle school ranks.

New Rochelle (N.Y.) High School was trailing Mt. Vernon by 10 points with 3 minutes left in the New York Section 1 Class AA championship game on Sunday afternoon. The Huguenots rallied to within two points with 2.9 seconds remaining, and they had the ball under their own basket for a last-ditch attempt...

Magic Johnson wants to see 'The King' take the throne once occupied by 'His Airness,' and he's putting up $1 million to make it happen. During an NBA broadcast on Friday, Johnson offered a million dollars to entice Miami Heat star LeBron James to participate in the NBA dunk contest in 2014...

If you think the NBA’s slam dunk contest has lost some of its luster, then you won’t know what to make of the disaster that is the Chinese Basketball Association’s version of this event.

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...

The Maine High School Basketball Tournament is under way and we’ll be bringing you all the results each day of the tournament. Here are the complete results for Feb. 17. The coverage is being brought to you by Hight Chevorlet, located at 29 Madison Ave. in Skowhegan.

A Colorado high school basketball player did something in a game last week that NBA players like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Kevin Durant don't even attempt. We'll give you details, but you should watch the video first: That's Lewis-Palmer High School basketball player Anna Olson of Monument, Colo...

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.

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.

Now we remember why we didn't make the NBA cut — we can't defy gravity.

The Christmas Day NBA games are becoming quite the tradition around the country, but why did the NBA feel the need to give the teams different uniforms?

Zach Hodskins, a 6'2 Junior for Milton High School in Georgia, was born with just one arm. That didn't stop him from becoming an insanely good basketball player. His highlight reel shows he can do just about anything on the court. This makes us feel awful about our athletic ability...

As 'The Office' prepares to head into its final run of episodes, finally closing the door on Dunder-Mifflin after nine years, we've been expecting a flurry of guest stars to come out of the woodwork. Mind you, we figured most guests would belong to seasons past, particularly one Steve Carell, but a Basketball Hall of Famer is just as good! So what could bring Julius "Dr. J" Erving to 'Th

Apparently there is a new trend going on in the NBA: the complete overreaction by referees.

Some basketball players like Shaq and John Salley have shown their musical prowesses off the court, or even made a second career out of their vocal skills (or lack thereof). But, at other times, NBA players without any vocal abilities have dipped their toes into the waters of the music world thanks to cameos in music videos.

We're not positive what just happened but we are absolutely elated that it did. Coming in as the basketball shot heard around the world, this guy makes Shaq's abhorrent excuse for a free throw look like a game-winning miracle.
