LeBron James doing a 360 layup

LeBron James sends Internet into frenzy with wild 360 layup

LeBron James continues to cackle right in the face of Father Time. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar James went viral on Saturday for his unbelievable feat of athleticism against the Houston Rockets. During the second quarter, James spun baseline on …

Wild photo of LeBron James’ vertical leap during Lakers-Suns game goes viral

LeBron James continues to walk on the sky like a man half his age. A photo taken by Ben Golliver of the Washington Post at Thursday night’s Los Angeles Lakers-Phoenix Suns game caught fire online this week. The picture showed the Lakers star …

Mike Trout jump

Mike Trout can jump really really really high (Video)

Mike Trout is a supreme athlete. You already knew that. But it’s still pretty awesome to watch some of his athletic feats, such as him doing a ridiculous plyometric box jump during a recent workout. Trouty posted the video to his Instagram page …

Guy Dupuy Dunk Over a Car (Video)

When Blake Griffin won the Slam Dunk contest (that was possibly fixed) with a dunk over a car, people complained that he only jumped over the hood. That was an understandable complaint given what we’ve seen other athletes do. And watching And1 …

Blake Griffin Makes Reverse Alley-Oop Dunk Look Easy (Video)

Nothing surprises us at this point when it comes to Blake Griffin and freak athleticism.  His dunking abilities are going to make for a long career of sports blogs being filled with videos that worship his talent.  I’m not trying to beat a dead …

High Schooler Marky Thompkins Hurdles an Upright Defender (Video)

It appears we’re in the midst of a freak athleticism epidemic across the nation, particularly with regard to football players hurdling defenders.  Looks like the hurdle is starting to become as common as the spin move.  A little over a week ago …

Brian Maddox Hurdles Defender, Steps on His Head (Video)

We’re big fans of freaky athletic plays here at LBS. Luckily for us, with like a hundred games being played on Saturdays, we generally get to see quite a few special plays be made. Brian Maddox’s incredible hurdle for South Carolina …

Hurdling a Defender 101

It’s been quite a while since we’ve hit you with some freak athleticism here on LBS, but this video almost makes it worth the wait.  Jumping over a defender can be dangerous and is usually not something that’s encouraged by a head …

Ravens Lineman Goalpost Dunk FAIL

Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Joe Reitz played college basketball at Western Michigan.  He’s put on about 60 pounds since his college days, and I think it’s safe to say he’s lost some of his vertical as a result.  We see …

NFL Scouts, Meet Matt Fields

It’s nice to see a display of freak athleticism coming from the Arena Football League once in a while. This is the first I’ve seen of Matt Fields from the Dallas Vigilantes, but I’d imagine if he’s capable of making a catch …

TO’s Still Got Hops

T.O. may be unemployed and turning 37 this year, but the man can still get up.  If the pictures of Terrell Owens jumping on to a newspaper stand aren’t enough for you, TMZ has a video that I couldn’t embed (which can be seen here) that …

Jason Pierre-Paul Could Have Been a Male Gymnast

Every once in a while we come across a video of a player doing something so darn athletic it has to be posted. It’s a reminder of how special some of these pro athletes are. For instance, there was Adrian Wilson jumping a five and a half foot …

Video: Nate Robinson Dunks Over Dwight Howard in Slam Dunk Competition

I’m pretty sure this is the dunk that gave Nate Robinson the edge over Dwight Howard in the Slam Dunk Competition at All-Star Weekend. I mean I thought Adrian Wilson and Joey Gathright were freaks of nature with their ridiculous verticle leaps. …

Video: Chris Beanie Wells Hurdles Illinois Defender, He’s Got Hops

We’ve already had a couple of notable hurdles make the front page here at LBS this year. One came earlier in the college season courtesy of Knowshon Moreno, the other was recently achieved by Giants tight end, Kevin Boss. This airborne move by …

Video: Knowshon Moreno Goes Airborne in Touchdown Run vs. Arizona State

I’ll be quick to admit that I’m not a huge college football fan and that my knowledge and enjoyment of teams and players is far more limited compared to my level of enthusiasm for other sports. That being said, I’m a huge fan of …

Joey Gathright Would be a 1st Round Pick in the NFL Draft

The way those scouts operate … man, if they took one look at his vertical, he’d definitely go on Day 1. If you remember a while ago, I posted the video of the amazing, superhuman Gathright jumping cars in a parking lot. I compared …
