There is no question that when the University of Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers upset No. 1 Virginia, the sports world went nuts. It took 136 tries for a No. 16-seeded team to shock a No. 1 team. So when it finally happened on Friday, everyone on Twitter became a Retrievers fan. And there was definitely a plethora of adorable dog gifs and photos. I mean we cared about our brackets, but we realized our brackets were already busted. Of course, there is always going to be trolls.

Kyrie Irving returned to the court on Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets after missing one game due to a minor facial fracture he suffered on Friday. The masked Irving helped the Boston Celtics to their 13th win in a row, but it was sneakers that made more noise than his 25-point night. Irving’s special edition of the Nike Kyrie 3 was a beautiful way to honor his mother, Elizabeth, who died when Irving was four.

Let’s be honest. We all know Stephen Curry has range. On a very consistent basis the Golden Warriors guard hits shot after shot from well beyond the 3-point arc with ease. Every time you think he can’t hit that half-court shot he does. On Friday afternoon he once again showed us he has range by kicking a basketball into a hoop and hitting nothing but net. GOAL! At this point though, we shouldn’t be surprised that Steph can hit shots like this.
