A full court lacrosse goalie goal
When one goalie switches off, another can take advantage. Or at least, that's what happened when Denver's Jack Kelly fired a buzzer-beating shot against Atlanta's Adam Ghitelman.

Simone Biles learns Harlem Globetrotter tricks
OK, so it's probably a bridge too far to say that Biles masters the tricks Hammer Harrison of the Harlem Globetrotters tries to teach her in this video. But it's fun; plus, look at that size difference!
