Top Play: Tyler Colvin throws out runner for double play
This was clutch for the Cubs at the time, even though they ended up losing 5-4 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Also note how Geovany Soto face checks Jaramillo during the tag. Priceless.
Runner-up: Brent Seabrook destroys Steve Downie
Got to show some love for Brent Seabrook for this great hit on cheap-shot artist Steve Downie. Love seeing Downie trying to get into a scuffle only to be shrugged off like a fly.

Top Play: Derrick Rose skies to block James Johnson
I don’t think James Johnson has been rejected like that since the high school prom.
Runner-up: Jimmy Howard goes post-to-post to make miraculous save
As a Hawks fan you want to see that puck go in, but I have to give Jimmy his due here for that save.

Nothing better than seeing a pinch hitter get the job done when his team needs him most.

The former Hawks’ enforcer takes a pass and converts it to one of the best goals of the year.

The Illini should get this guy to transfer.

I haven’t seen anyone get turned inside out like that since Tyreke Evans.

Top Play: Brandon Knight sinks Ohio St.
Brandon Knight is the epitome of clutch for Kentucky this tournament. Possible top five draft pick now?

At least it wasn’t Tony Allen doing it on us.

Top Play: Emeka Okafor circus shot buzzer beater to force OT
I don’t think Okafor has ever taken a shot from this deep in his entire life until last night. What’s more impressive is how off-balance he was to still bank it in. Fortunately New Orleans beat the Jazz in overtime 121-117.
Runner-up: Derrick Williams’ put back dunk on Duke
After watching yesterday’s game, Derrick Williams = GOD (and the first overall pick)!

Top Play: Javale McGee with the “st-ock” on Wes Matthews
I call this the “st-ock” because he stole the ball and blocked it the same time. Get it? I thought this only happened in NBA Street.
Runner-up: C.J. Watson with the spin and reverse layup
Maybe if Kirk wasn’t wearing those stupid goggles he might’ve saw this coming…

Top Play: Derrick Rose reverse slam against the Kings
It was only a matter of time before Derrick would make top plays. Great play and great win by the Baby Bulls tonight.
Runner-up: Matt Cooke gets suspended for rest of regular season + first round of playoffs
NHL fans can finally sigh in relief, as resident douchebag Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins is gone for the last 10 games of the regular season and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the hit above. Now the next question is when is karma going to come back to Cooke? Click the link and smile while you watch Cooke get KO’d in one punch by a fed up 19 year old.

Top Play: Arizona’s Derrick Williams seals game with three-point play
This kid is playing himself into the top two picks of this year’s NBA Draft. He should probably slow down before he ends up in Cleveland.
Runner-up: Clayton Stoner destroys Ryan White
Is there a sicker name than Clayton Stoner? Well, besides Cal Clutterbuck I don’t think there is.
