As a sports fan, it's easy for all of us to think we've seen and heard it all.
Jordan's game-winner against Georgetown to win the '82 national title. Montana's pass to Dwight Clark in the NFC Championship Game. And many more that the highlight reels give to us on a daily basis.
But since there isn't even footage of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game out there, it's clear that we haven't seen everything before.
That's why I'm giving you these badass videos.
Warning: This video features some NSFW language. Second warning: It’s Friday, and therefore, time to get down.
While America is ready to kick off a lazy/crazy Fourth of July weekend, D.J. Williams is putting in work to make music that will get us in the groove. The Packers tight end released the first mix-tape on Wednesday, kicking off a series of drops he calls “D.J. Mix Friday.”
The mix-tape was spotted by Kiley Kmiec of Next Impulse Sports, and it’s actually not bad.
dj mix Friday. Everyone check out my new mix I just put together !! hope you enjoy!!! http://t.co/YZbzWECyvb
— D.J. Williams (@dj45williams) July 3, 2013
Williams kicks things off with a classic Chris Tucker line from the movie Friday, and then it’s off to the club with David Guetta’s “Titanium.”
The mix-tape features mashed-up mixes of Notorious B.I.G., Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani among other artists. Williams is rocking a Packers shirt the whole while, and is definitely enjoying himself in his home studio.
Let's break Williams’ track down and get some grading going:
Song Choice: B+
There are no bad songs on Williams’ mashup mix, but there was that whole Busta Rhymes verse, which was a problem.
Thankfully, right as you’re about to O.D. on Busta, the song moves into “Suit and Tie” and all is forgiven. He also includes “Juicy," which is amazing.
Smoothness: B-
Overall, it’s a professional-sounding mix, but some of the transitions were raw and sudden.
Cutting in Chris Tucker’s line about messing with a black man’s stereo is funny, but it was meant to mask the fact he didn’t have a clean segue into his next song.
Creativity: A-
Chris Tucker lines will always win my heart, and Williams used them to provide a funny theme for the mix-tape.
He didn’t go White Panda crazy and mix Rihanna and Game of Thrones together, but it’s solid work.
Overall: B
Raw, but with nuggets of goodness. It's no Super Mash Bros, but Williams is definitely headed in the right direction.
Keep it up, D.J.. The NFL needs a Jazzy Jeff this summer, and you’re clearly capable of being that guy.

Good luck trying to get Stephen Curry to take a break. The man is in constant pursuit of bettering his game—even as his family tries to enjoy their Fourth of July.
The star Golden State Warriors guard posted the following Vine video to fans:
While you were sitting on some beach, chilling at a picnic or throwing your own family party, Curry was putting in some work.
Some of you might be nursing some gnarly hangovers and heartburn Friday morning, but Curry is just one day better. I only feel sorry for his friends and family who were simply dominated due to lackluster defense and what looks to be an Independence Day nap.
This is just the latest social media comedy offered by the star point guard, who is coming off of a solid season wherein he scored 22.9 points per game.
Here he is making a young lady smile, even though she is forced to wear a Johnny Rockets milkshake costume.
He even took a jab at LeBron James, who was struggling in the first half of Game 3 in the NBA Finals, with this post featuring his beautiful daughter.
Don't worry about James' feelings, because he would go on to secure his second NBA championship in as many years.
Now, if you are looking for an athlete to follow on Twitter and Vine, Curry certainly delivers behind-the-scenes glances of his life, posting outings like trips to the dentist as well as the tattoo parlor.
As we know, no matter where he goes, he is most certainly doing work.

The way to Lolo Jones' heart seems to be through retweets.
NBC Sports' Nick Zaccardi reports on the extremely busy schedule for Jones, who continues to run the hurdles and 4x100 relay all while preparing for another stint with the U.S. bobsled team.
Oh, and she has a date with a young man named Bubby Lyles, who secured over 150,000 retweets just so he could squire the famous Olympian about town.
Here is the tweet from Lyles with a picture of Jones' response:
As of this writing, that particular tweet had over 150,200 retweets, as well as over 24,000 favorites.
Some of you might think Jones would go back on her word or offer that she was only joking. Either would be understandable because of her jam-packed calendar.
That doesn't seem to be the case, because the report states Jones is game to meet the man who won a date because of his social media swag:
Told he was close to 150,000 by Flotrack, Jones responded by saying, “Oh, really? Are you serious?”
“Good for him,” Jones said. “I’ll go on a date with him.”
All it takes, gentlemen, is to get 150,000 people to vouch for you.
Really, if there was any athlete who would get a date via Twitter, it was Jones. She has long embraced social media to show off her vibrant personality.
As we have seen, there have been controversial ends to some of Jones' posts.
Back in May of 2012, Jones tweeted to her followers that she plans on staying a virgin until she marries, a post that garnered widespread attention for the Olympian.
More recently, Jones dropped a Vine video to her Twitter followers featuring her paycheck for bobsled work, a whopping $741.84. While Jones was clearly making a joke, a good number of bobsledders took umbrage with the video because they felt she was complaining.
Not that Jones has delivered only controversy, because a bubbly athlete who likes to have fun was made for things like Twitter and Vine, giving fans some highly creative vignettes like the one that follows.
Jones is a dedicated athlete who continues to work hard for a gold medal, no matter the season or sport that might present itself.
Of course, everyone has to have a hobby. Jones' seems to be tweeting, so it makes perfect sense she would find a future date on the social media platform.
Now, Lyles and 150,000 Twitter users anxiously await the big day.

In an instant, all other bunts were rendered quite lame.
The Arizona Diamondbacks were in the fifth inning of what would be a marathon clash with the New York Mets when Gerardo Parra decided to lay down a bunt.
With the Mets up one and Cody Ross on first, Parra lays down what has to be one of the most efficient hits of the year; the ball slides in between first and second base for the rare bunt double.
As the announcers state, Daniel Murphy saw the bunt and broke to cover first base, but the bunt was hit far too perfectly for any Met to have a chance at the ball.
Wil Nieves would single home both Ross and Parra in the next at-bat, putting the Diamondbacks up 2-1 in the ballgame, which would prove vital.
The two teams would end up battling for 15 grueling innings before Parra scored the crucial go-ahead run.
While an exhausting affair, Arizona will certainly take the 5-4 victory. The NL West leaders have lost eight of their last 11 games, yet they still lead the division by 2.5 games entering Friday.
When teams struggle, it seems like their stars have to go above and beyond to make things happen. Parra certainly proved that sentiment by getting into scoring position with a masterpiece of a bunt.
That's how you lay it down.

On July 7th, 1993 an important piece of my childhood was born. Rookie of the Year may not get the recognition as The Sandlot, another kids baseball movie that came out earlier in the year, but it still holds a special place in a lot of people's hearts.
We all played sports in our backyard, dreaming of one day being able to make the pros. Rookie of the Year took that dream a step further. What if you didn't have to wait until you were older? What if you could play for your favorite team right now?
I was sold. So in honor of this movie's 20th anniversary, here are 20 reasons why it was amazing.
1. It was so delightfully 90s.
The Sandlot was great, but it was set in the 60s. It wasn't quite a representation of our childhoods. Rookie of the Year was the movie the 90s deserved. Just look at these outfits. It's a totally different kind of nostalgia.
2. John Candy was in it.
Sure he was underutilized and paled in comparison to other fake announcers like Bob Uecker, but c'mon, it's John Candy. Just seeing him on the screen made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
3. Henry wore jeans to his baseball game.
We all knew a kid like this. He was the worst. Accurate depiction of a terrible youth baseball player achieved.
4. Great line or greatest line?!?!
5. Henry's crush was played by the same girl who played Julie "The Cat" Gaffney in the Mighty Ducks movies.
She's basically 90's kids sports movie royalty.
6. Every kid wanted to break their arm after seeing this movie.
7. This throw.
Can somebody help explain the physics of this throw to me? So Henry throws 103 mph. Somehow that's fast enough to throw a frozen rope from the bleachers to home plate. Justin Verlander was wasted as a pitcher.
8. The manager butchering Henry's name.
Here is a complete list of the names the manager calls Henry Rowengartner:
- Henry Rulingfurter
- Ravenboozer
- Rosenbagger
- Gardenhoser
- Runamucker
- Rulengrutter
You're welcome.
9. Daniel Stern was great.
Rookie of the Year was also the first movie he ever directed. Acting-wise, he was just coming off Home Alone, City Slickers, and Home Alone 2; not a bad stretch at all.
I also think he was onto something with that whole "hot ice" deal.
10. Henry's friend.
This kid was hilarious. He overracted, yelled pretty much every line and was just your usual sports movie best friend who got mad at the main character for no reason. "Stupid Henry, I can't believe he's playing for the Cubs instead of helping us build our crappy boat. What a jerk."
11. OMG LOOK AT BARRY BONDS, YOU GUYS!
12. Accurate 12-year-old taunting.
Tell me you never used this line. Okay, now at least tell me you never used it while doing this dance.
13. Gary Busey is the main love interest.
I repeat. Gary. Busey. Is. A. Love. Interest.
Yes. This guy.
P.S. This is how Busey signs Henry's ball in the movie. Gee, thanks.
14. The token "money changes people" transformation.
The guy dating Henry's mom goes from a schlubby douche to evil scheming manager who calls Henry "Hank" in no time.
15. Henry gets sold to the Yankees.
This is a real thing that happens in the movie. The most popular player in baseball suddenly gets straight up sold to the Yankees. Not traded. The Cubs got nothing but money back. And the evil manager says he would get the mom's signature to make it happen (necessary, of course) as long as the Cubs just straight up gave away Busey's character.
Because these things happen.
16. The final game.
I could write about 5,000 words on this game, but I'll try to keep it short.
Within about five minutes, characters say the following things:
- This game is to win the division.
- They are just one game from the World Series.
- "I'm saving you for the playoffs."
...Okay, sure. So then Busey's character goes six innings and in comes Henry. He proceeds to strike out nine batters in two innings (seriously, I counted) and then comes out for the ninth where he slips on a ball, hurts his shoulder and loses his ability.
At no point does anyone go "Welp, guess we should go to the bullpen." It's okay though, because Henry has a brilliant plan for the first two batters, but nothing for the third batter, who just happens to be best player in baseball. It's cool, guys. We'll just wing that one.
17. The Hidden Ball Trick!
I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw the movie. As a first baseman, I suggested this to my pitcher about five times a game for the rest of my playing career.
18. This guy.
He's on screen for maybe two minutes the whole movie, but damn if he's not memorable. Imagine if a WWE heel was the best hitter in baseball, this is what you would get.
19. Float it.
Can you believe the climax of the movie is the mom telling Henry to pitch underhanded and just serve up a meatball? What kind of advice was that? Yeah, it worked, but man that had to have like a 98 percent chance of backfiring.
Thankfully we get to see the dramatic slow-motion windup three times from three different angles.
20. End of movie update: Still wearing jeans to play baseball.

Yao Ming is a cake.
No, that's not some obscure slang phrase the kids are using for NBA big men who are still beloved by their fans—although it probably should be. This is simply a reference to a massive wedding cake with an extremely large Yao Ming noggin that one Twitter user is sharing with the world.
It all begins with a tweet from ESPN's Darren Rovell, who makes reference to a stat that 65 percent of McDonald's customers order at the drive-thru (yes, this article may make you very hungry).
When you have something epic to share, though, you don't simply wait for a topical subject to come up. You present that tweet like a Blake Griffin slam dunk:
That, my friends, is how you do wedding cakes.
The tweet from @Moustachio certainly worked, because Rovell tweeted out some love right after getting the posting.
We are missing a couple of things here: vital details about this Yao cake and a bib big enough to tackle such a baked good.
The scant details on the wedding cake are provided in extra tweets from @Moustachio, along with a few pictures.
The two seem to be huge Houston Rockets fans, which is the "no duh" proclamation of the day. I simply have to know how they worked John Olerud into the vows and whether the groom wore a helmet along with his tux.
With a bunch of ingredients and some time in the oven, we have ourselves something as endearing as a Coco Crisp bobblehead and as terrifying as a Garbage Pail Kids costume. I am not sure if I want to shield my eyes from assured nightmares or grab a fork and a glass of milk. Feel free to help me out with the correct decision in the comments section below.
There are sure to be a great many Rockets fans who would love to have the former NBA center at their wedding. Seeing as Yao has not yet mastered omnipresence, baking a cake in his likeness will have to do.
Now, who wants another slice of Yao?

"Halt! You're under arrest! Put the salami down and step away from the Build-A-Bear!"
Weird arrests happen all the time (see: state of Florida), but it's a scientifically proven fact that they're 10 times more interesting when they happen to people in the world of sports.
Maybe it's a sense of invincibility—or perhaps it's just the shoes—but something about big-time athletics causes athletes and other sports figures to perpetrate some incredibly embarrassing run-ins with the law.
The following are some of the weirdest arrests ever seen in the world of sports. They're everything from pointless and embarrassing to downright shameful.
Put a neck brace on, because you're about to shake your head more than is healthy.
Sheldon Cooper has one giant man-crush on Dwight Howard.
Because the sweepstakes to land the coveted free agent wasn't quite zany enough, Jim Parsons from the hit show The Big Bang Theory posted a video attempting to woo Howard to Houston.
In it, the 40-year-old Houston native explains some of the wonderful reasons Howard should become the latest star big man to wear a Rockets jersey.
General manager Daryl Morey then tweeted the video, because every little bit helps when it comes to the tight race to sign Howard.
Well, it certainly didn't hurt matters.
Parsons and the rest of Rockets nation have reason to celebrate and fire off a few more of those remaining Fourth of July fireworks now that Howard announced via Twitter he is heading to H-Town.
The Lakers lose out despite all the perks that came with Howard staying in Los Angeles. Still, one of the oddest aspects has to be an actor's plea coming all the way from Houston and not Hollywood.
La-La Land loses all around.
Parsons mentions the Rockets were missing just one ingredient on their way to building a championship team: an elite center.
Go ahead and credit money, talent and a grand sales pitch for the Rockets' success in courting Howard. I will go ahead and assume it all came down to a compelling argument from one Sheldon Cooper.
Now we eagerly await Howard's obvious cameo on Parson's hit show.

As sports fans, we are predisposed to complain whenever "our team" makes a trade that involves a marquee player.
It's in our nature. We don't want to see our favorites walk away—especially if they're going to be wearing the uniforms of our rivals—so we complain, even though deep down we know the trade was the right move. Look at what's happening in Boston with the Celtics right now. Was it the right move? Yes, but still, the fans are still on the verge of rioting.
There are good trades that seem unfair at the time, and then there are really, really bad trades. I'm not even talking about the truly terrible lopsided ones (though a few of those made the cut for this list). Have you ever seen your favorite player exchanged for a fence? Or traded for a hunk of pork? Or traded for himself?
Yeah. When Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett get traded for a bag of maple bats, then we can complain.
Dwight Howard has reportedly chosen to sign with the Houston Rockets and Twitter reacted with some appropriate GIFs.

Winning a championship is a relatively rare occurrence for fans, franchises, and professional athletes alike. Well, for most of them. It's far more likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience than a regular event.
The urge to celebrate in a big way is only natural. Fans take to the streets immediately to enjoy the moment with their fellow fanatics. Franchises often take to the streets a few days later, usually on a parade route. And athletes take to the clubs for VIP victory parties.
Obviously, that's speaking very generally. Some people like to do their own thing, of course, which is totally fine because there is no right way to celebrate a championship.
However, there are plenty of wrong ways. When you're too wrapped up in the moment, bad things can happen. You can embarrass yourself, hurt yourself, hurt someone else or end up looking like a complete jerk.
You can even up in jail. A championship should be a night to remember, not 20 years to life.
Here are 21 ways NOT to celebrate a championship.
Sports fans aren’t rational creatures—if we were, the comments section of any article about any player or any sporting event wouldn’t be a putrid monument to human depravity.
It’s the nature of the beast. If we followed some rigid calculus, we wouldn’t care at all.
The outcome of sports competition is equal parts design and pure chance. Coaches have to game-plan and players have to practice, but no one can anticipate when a hammy gets pulled or a bad bounce rips defeat from the jaws of victory.
This explains why sports fans are such fickle, delusional and paranoid creatures.
We want to believe the score is dictated by the hat we wear, the routine we stick to or whether or not the dip is exactly seven-layers. It’s the only measure of control fans have.
This mindset inspires the passion behind our loyalty but makes us suspend reality for the sake of our emotional investment in the team. The nonsense behind our fandom is actually why it makes sense that we're fans to begin with.
So obviously, we're all crazy. Here are just some of the things sports fans do that make NO sense whatsoever!
Hot is seldom a word closely associated with the ceremonial opening pitch at a baseball game.
Now, if you're like me, then you've probably wondered about the answer to the age-old question: Isn't there something baseball teams can do to tune-up this bit of baseball theater?
Surely it's time for ceremonial first-pitchers to pick up their game or risk having their profession fall into the ash heap of baseball history.
Before all you Major League Baseball traditionalists start pounding your buzzers to answer, we have a video to share that might just convince millions to start arriving early enough to catch their own local team's ceremonial toss to home plate.
Brace yourselves baseball fans, for I give you a recent opening pitch for the Doosan Bears, a team located in Soul, South Korea.
As you can tell—no doubt from watching this clip over and over and over again—our heroine has no problem adjusting for crosswinds or keeping her eye on the prize.
The reaction of the crowd, as well as the players in the dugout, are proof enough that a modern-day overhaul of the ceremonial first pitch can indeed be done.
And such a class job too.
Play ball!

On Friday night, Dwight Howard was announcing his intent to sign with the Houston Rockets on Twitter and changing his avatar. On Saturday, he was already posing in Instagram photos with new teammate James Harden.
They're probably already besties.
Howard posted the below picture on his Instagram account, captioning this photo with, "Houston we have liftoff."
Howard ended one of the longest-running sagas of the summer by announcing he would sign with the Rockets on Friday night.
He spurned a slew of suitors, including his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, along with the Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks.
In response to Howard's decision, Kobe Bryant posted an Instagram of his own, captioning the below photo, "#vamos #juntos #lakercorazon #vino."
And as we would find out throughout the evening (via Darren Rovell of ESPN), Bryant would also unfollow Howard on Twitter.
Oh no he didn't!
The duo of Howard and Harden should be pretty deadly in Houston. While injuries and Mike D'Antoni's system derailed Howard last year—his 17.1 points and 12.4 rebounds per game were below his career averages—he is one of the most dominant players in the NBA when playing at full strength.
And Harden has become one of the league's deadliest perimeter players, averaging 25.9 points and 5.8 assists last season.
The players surrounding Howard and Harden remain to be seen, of course, as both Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik could be moved in a sign-and-trade deal with the Atlanta Hawks to bring Josh Smith to Texas, per reports from Ken Berger of CBS and Chris Broussard of ESPN:
In other words, we may be getting a few Instagram shots of three besties in Rockets uniforms soon enough.

Not everyone is taking Dwight Howard's latest decision lightly.
An Instagram account that appeared to be run by Los Angeles Lakers guard Jodie Meeks posted a picture of Howard photoshopped to look like a girl.
In the image, Howard is shown wearing a jersey of the now-defunct WNBA team the Orlando Miracle. The caption states, "I'm really disappointed ... The first thing that Dwight Howard did after signing his contract with Houston, it's unfollow the lakers accounts on social networks #lakers #losangeles."
Meeks has since come out on Twitter denying that the account belongs to him:
It remains to be seen who created the picture, but it certainly got the attention of many across social media.
Howard created a stir himself when he decided against re-signing with the Lakers and instead choosing to play for the Houston Rockets. He officially announced the news himself on his Twitter account:
He also changed the picture in his account to one of him wearing a Rockets' jersey.
Meeks was a teammate of Howard's this year with the Lakers after stints with the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. After averaging 7.9 points per game mostly off the bench, the team decided to pick up his $1.55 million option.
It is clear that the entire Lakers organization is upset with Howard's decision. After being informed of the news, general manager Mitch Kupchak issued this statement (via Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated):
We have been informed of Dwight’s decision to not return to the Lakers. Naturally we’re disappointed. We will now move forward in a different direction with the future of the franchise and, as always, will do our best to build the best team possible, one our great Lakers fans will be proud to support. To Dwight, we thank him for his time and consideration, and for his efforts with us last season. We wish him the best of luck on the remainder of his NBA career.
This is a much more mature reaction compared to whoever created the Howard picture.
For now, however, fans of the 29 teams not named the Rockets can enjoy the fake image as they look to root against the center for the next few years.

Justin Bieber touches the Stanley Cup, North America explodes and the remaining survivors band together to fend off Belieber zombies in the resulting nuclear winter.
I might sell that idea to Michael Bay, but I cannot say that Bieber meeting Lord Stanley was my idea in the first place. That distinction belongs to the Chicago Blackhawks' marketing squad, which brought in the pop singer for a photo op with the Stanley Cup on Tuesday, July 9.
According to Sam Laird of Mashable, Blackhawks marketing director Pete Hassen was the first to send the image of Bieber and the Cup spending quality time.
As you can see, Bieber shed his Los Angeles Kings attire for the gig and gave the world a big, “We’re No. 1” hand gesture.
Based on the reaction from some sports fans, he might as well had made it official and went with another finger.
Indeed, touching the Cup is usually afforded only to those hockey players who have actually helped their team win the trophy—it’s their white whale—but fans appear to be the most outspoken about Bieber’s tactic.
Bieber standing on the Blackhawks logo was another NHL sacred cow slaughtered in the eyes of many hockey fans.
Hassen defended the organization’s decision to pose Bieber with the Stanley Cup, saying that the pop star opens doors to the next generation of Blackhawks fans.
Right or wrong, the fact is Bieber has touched the Stanley Cup, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
It will be hard to cope with for a few days, especially after seeing the driver of the bandwagon in L.A. Kings regalia in May, but like Daylight Savings Time and your weird coworker Pam, it’s one of those things we just have to live with.
Bieber touching the Cup has happened before, and it will probably happen again. I know it's hard, but fans must steel themselves, gather their families and rebuild. This isn't the end.
Some days you’re the Bieber, and some days you’re the mop bucket.

Paradise is very nice, but not as amazing as the fashion showdown DeAndre Jordan had with his mother over Twitter on Tuesday.
According to Sean Highkin of USA Today, the Los Angeles Clippers (other) dunking master was in the midst of asking his mother to attend the ESPY Awards with him when they came to an ideological impasse—she will absolutely not let him wear his LL Cool J get-up.
Typical mother-son argument, right?
Jordan just wants to get his bucket hat and hiked up pant-leg on, and Mama Jordan is being a buzzkill. Granted, Cool J usually goes shirtless for special occasions, but the general idea I believe Jordan is looking for is something like this.
Mixed with this.
I’m no fashion guru, but I think the look works. After Brian Wilson went in a spandex tuxedo in 2011, all bets were off as to what is and isn’t acceptable at the event.
After slamming home the best dunk of the NBA season, Jordan might even be a “Play of the Year” finalist. It’s a ridiculously slim chance but should he come through with it, what better way to approach the podium than with a Kangol on and a pant-leg rolled to the mid-shin?
Even if he’s kidding (likely), he might as well follow through now and bring the look back.
C’mon, mom. Let DeAndre express himself a bit. As long as he’s at your side, who cares what he’s wearing.
As Cool J once said, “Rayon, silk or maybe even denim. It really doesn’t matter as long as you’re in 'em.”
Momma said don't wear that out.
