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.

Okay, if you didn't love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker before, we bet you will now. 'The Amazing Spider-Man' star took a break from filming -- but not from his Spidey suit -- to play basketball with kids. And it's on video.

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.

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...

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.

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
