Watch MSU forward Coen Carr break rim, shatter backboard with incredible dunk

Watch MSU forward Coen Carr break rim, shatter backboard with incredible dunk Even in the offseason, Coen Carr is unleashing viral highlight dunks Coen Carr always impresses when the ball is in his hands, and that even happens during the offseason. Carr is known for his incredible dunking ability, and he put that on display in a recent pickup game where he threw down a dunk that broke the rim. Yes, that's right. Carr broke the rim and shattered the backboard with a ferocious dunk. Check out the impressive dunk from Carr in the video below -- courtesy of Overtime: The pure dunking power of Carr has always been impressive but this is taking it to a whole new level. Rarely do you see a player do something like this. Carr will be entering his junior season next year for the Spartans and is expected to play a more significant role for Michigan State. His game has already expanded from just his dunking ability this past season, but we should never lose sight of how truly impressive he is at that part of his game too.

Fans Unanimously Roast LeBron James After Viral Clip Surfaces

The Los Angeles Lakers got the win on Tuesday night to tie the series at one game apiece against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Lakers got the 94-85 victory as Luka Doncic and LeBron James both flirted with triple-doubles. Advertisement James had 21 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists as Doncic poured in a game-high 31 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists in the victory in LA. The series now moves to Minnesota for the next two games, so it will be a very important few days for the Lakers if they want to take the upper hand in the series. However, James floated around social media on Wednesday with one viral clip.

In it, he was lying on the floor and appeared to be grimacing in pain with his hands over his eyes. Then, James opened one eye and appeared to see if anybody was looking at him. Fans didn't take very long to notice James' antics and he instantly got roasted on social media. Advertisement "It's incredible how quickly he pulls himself together when the camera catches him," one fan said. "Shameless," another said. "This is why he will never be the GOAT," said another. "Absolute embarrassment. And for the people that think he is the GOAT, you are clearly delusional," said another. "Come on man..." another wrote. "This guy is a joke," another fan replied. "I can't wait until he retires," another wrote. Fans also roasted James after his slow start in Game 1 of the series, so the LeBron trolls are out in full force with the NBA Playoffs underway. In just one hour, the video from Overtime had over 435,000 views, so it's quickly making its way around the internet. Related: Fans Unanimously Roast LeBron James After Lakers-Timberwolves Game

Shedeur Sanders makes draft day prediction with former teammate Travis Hunter

Shedeur Sanders makes draft day prediction with former teammate Travis Hunter Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a draft day prediction involving former teammate Travis Hunter. When appearing on Overtime, Sanders predicted that the Cleveland Browns would either draft him or wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick. New England Patriots fans are obviously hoping it isn't the latter, as it would take a generational talent off the board for them at No. 4. The expectations are that Hunter won't fall to the Patriots, but fans have been holding out hope for a miracle scenario. "Draft day, I know it should be me or [Hunter] going [to Cleveland]. Which one? I don't know, but I think we're the most qualified players to go to that organization," said Sanders. Both players are coming off tremendous seasons. Sanders recorded 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns. That performance earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which is given to college football's best quarterback. Meanwhile, Hunter had a record-setting season that earned him the Heisman Trophy. He gained notoriety for his rare ability to play on both sides of the ball. All told, he recorded 96 receptions for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, he tallied 35 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble. Even if the Patriots don't land Hunter, Sanders being drafted by one of the top-three teams could lead to a scenario where they come away with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. Along with Hunter, Carter is projected to be one of the top players on the draft board. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

A sweet 16 for Dude Perfect, from college trick shots to trusted sports and entertainment brand

Associated Press FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The five buddies who now comprise Dude Perfect had no intention of creating a brand or even a business 16 years ago when they started making a video of basketball trick shots while they were attending Texas A&M. 'My dad would say we were procrastinating studying for finals at that time, which he is 100% correct,' said Coby Cotton, whose twin brother Cory is also part of the group. 'We were just having fun, and that's one thing that I am grateful to say has continued.' When they posted that first video on YouTube in April 2009, the nearly 3 1/2-minute clip was just a way to share with family and friends what they were doing on an $80 portable basketball rim they bought for the backyard. Things have expanded far beyond that small circle. And the tricks got much bigger, like the world record shot made from 856 feet high in Las Vegas two summers ago on the third day of attempts. Dude Perfect now has more than 61 million subscribers on YouTube, with 482 videos that have gotten more than 18.5 billion total views. An "Average Dude vs. Steph Curry" video did 16 million views just four months ago. The group's family-friendly content has gone beyond just basketball shots and is big business, among the top 1% of channels on the second most-viewed website in the world. Professional athletes, celebrities and musicians want to be part of their productions, both short form and longer videos. Among those who have taken part in recent Dude Perfect projects are Tom Brady, Caitlin Clark and Paul Skenes; the pitcher was blindfolded when he struck out 6-foot-6 Cody Jones, the DP member known as 'Tall Guy.' The group last year hired its first CEO after acquiring at least $100 million in capital from a private investment firm. There are plans for a Dude Perfect theme park, and earlier this year the group opened a new headquarters. The facility located in a North Texas warehouse district includes a full basketball court with moving rims on one wall, half a football field with a regulation goalpost, a pickleball court, a putting area, a hidden candy vault and room for expansion to include experiences for fans. 'A sports lover's Barbie dreamhouse' is how new CEO Andrew Yaffe described the 80,000-square-foot facility. 'If you ask the guys what they intended in 2009, I don't know that this would have been in their wildest dreams,' said Yaffe, who previously was a senior NBA executive overseeing the league's social, digital and original content. 'We think about this is what a media company looks like in 2025. And it's really exciting to think about what that can be in 2030 or 2035.' More than trick shots Dude Perfect has evolved from that original video shot with a single camera into successful content creators, with a mix of sports and comedy that is more than just basketball shots. The group will embark on another live tour later this year. There have been nearly 50 episodes of 'Overtime' since 2018, a variety show usually around 25 minutes with a variety of segments and often special guests. Curry in that recent episode took part in a 3-point shooting contest using a football, Frisbee, pickle ball and soccer ball before finally a basketball. There are occasional videos such as 'All Sports Golf Battle' when on a course without actual golf clubs, including once at Augusta National when Bryson DeChambeau used items like a tennis racket, Frisbee and pool stick. 'Stereotype' videos poke fun at any number of groups or events. 'They've built a media empire that brings families together, whether it's trick shots, epic challenges, live events or experiences that truly redefine what it means to connect with fans,' said Brian Albert, who leads Google's US YouTube video deals and creative teams. 'They are creator trailblazers.' Safe for families Even before each of the Dudes became fathers — there are now 16 children ages 10 and under between them, and another on the way — they wanted to be one of the world's most trusted brands for families to enjoy together. 'Early on, we met through some Bible studies and so we knew we weren't going to cuss in our videos, we weren't going to have alcohol promotion,' Jones said. 'Early on, it actually hurt our brand because people were going to YouTube in order to kind of have that wild side of things. And since, it's only helped because we've become brand safe.' Tyler Toney, the bearded Dude often front-and-center in videos, said that is the best thing they hear from parents. 'But it wasn't until we had our own kids where we'll be up here at the office filming and then I go home and now I'm on my TV at home and my boys are watching,' Toney said. 'I get to hear myself a lot and it gets old, and I apologize now to all the parents for how loud we are in a lot of the videos. But it's cool to see that even in our families the importance of that, having that quality entertainment that we can enjoy with our own kids.' For the record books Dude Perfect's first record for longest shot came from the third deck of Texas A&M's football stadium in the fall of 2009. That came months after the initial video of trick shots, which had been followed by one they did at a Christian-based camp that summer. They made a shot from atop the 561-foot tall Reunion Tower in Dallas in 2014, a record then broken by another group before Dude Perfect reclaimed it in Las Vegas. 'We're not hoping to have to improve on the world's highest shot from The Strat in Vegas any time soon,' Coby Cotton said. 'That was an exhausting experience.' recommended
