The senior guard is arguably the most dynamic dunker in the country. He's thrown down alley-oops, reverse slams, windmill jams and pretty much everything in between. Including 360-dunks. MIDSEASON AWARDS: Top dunks | Top buzzer-beaters On Saturday against West Virginia, the elite jumpman stole a pass at mid court and took it the distance. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen him do a 360-dunk, and it probably won’t be the last....

It was Markkanen’s first 20-point game since scoring 35 points on opening night. Tomas Satoransky and Shaquille Harrison each had 15 points as the Bulls snapped a three-game losing streak....
Jennings remains on the job, though numerous outlets have reported he is unlikely to return as manager in 2016. Acta, 46, managed the Nationals from 2007-09 and the Indians from 2010-12, accruing a 372-518 (.418) record and getting fired from both jobs during the season. The Marlins made a surprise move back in May when they fired manager Mike Redmond and moved Jennings from the front office to manager. The experiment failed, with Miami sitting third in the NL East with a 64-86 record entering Tuesday’s games....

Three other league games: Nice v Saint-Etienne, Nantes v Montpellier and Caen v Toulouse have been postponed for similar reasons....

The New Jersey Devils goaltender, after failing to finish Sunday's game at Yankee Stadium, praised the event but ripped the ice. He also signed off on Cory Schneider taking his place for the third period, even though, based on the current state of their games, Schneider should start, uh, all the time. MORE: Awesome images from Yankee Stadium So, some bad, some good. His calling the surface "the worst ice I ever played hockey on" is getting the most attention, and it's certainly not a wise thing to say; the Devils and Rangers both near-uniformly said the ice was fine, both Sunday and Saturday, and temperatures were more than cold enough to back that up during the Rangers' 7-3 win....

Italian Neorealism was a critical movement in post-World War II Italy, the key years being 1942-1951. Many people were unemployed, and poverty was rampant. The escape for the poor would be to watch these realistic films to pass the time and relate to these desperate people and their impoverished lives on screen. The world was a big violent mess, and these films would reveal the governments as the perpetrators of war....
