J.R. Smith played against Pacers with swollen left knee: Report
Carmelo Anthony wasn't the only New York Knicks star playing through an injury during the playoffs. For those wondering why J.R. Smith continued to shoot jumpers during his postseason slump as opposed to driving to the hoop, the answer might be related to his left knee more than his late nights.

BASE jumper survives 1,000-foot free-fall after chute fails to open
A daredevil BASE jumper is lucky to be alive after plummeting 1,000 feet to the ground in a free-fall after his chute failed to deploy. Not only did he live to talk about the fail, but he recorded it with his helmet-cam.

TOO DARN CUTE
Chelsea goalie's son scores adorable goal

Boston urinals show visitors where they stand
Just in case you didn't know you were presumably in Boston, these urinals help make it perfectly clear where you stand — as this Reddit photo shows. The only team missing is the Lakers — and possibly the Ravens. Maybe they're represented in the stalls.
It's one way to say Go Boston!

Steelers fan's tattoo is amateurish, terrible
It's hard to know what this guy was thinking — or drinking — when he decided to honor the Pittsburgh Steelers by (presumably) giving himself a tattoo of the NFL team's hallowed logo on some part of his body. If he paid someone to ink this monstrosity, he deserves to look at it forever. There's never a good reason to give yourself a team tattoo unless you're...
Diamondbacks' pitcher and catcher combine for crazy circus catch
It's not often you get to see a pitcher and a catcher combine to make a circus catch on a routine bunt but that's exactly what happened when the Diamondbacks' Josh Collmentor and Miguel Montero did it against the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

Bruce Chen continues trend of playing catch with young fans, then rolls over and plays dead
First it was Hyun-Jin Ryu who brightened some young kid's day by tossing the ball back-and-forth before a game last week. Next, it was Gio Gonzalez who was video-taped playing catch another young fan later in the week.
