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.

Freshman Seventh Woods of Hammond High School in Columbia, S.C. was scheduled to participate in the Hoop Group Jam Fest for high school basketball players in Pittsburgh this past weekend. Woods, 14, didn't play due to a concussion he received when he hit his head on the backboard...

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

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.

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

The 2013 NCAA Tournament is upon us, and sure, the games are fun but we're more interested in the battle raging on in the bleachers. Student body against student body. Alumni against alumni. Fans against fans. Bands against bands in battles of brass...

There are only a couple of reasons why a pro basketball player should attempt to make a half-court shot, and they all usually involve a ticking clock that’s about to end the game.
