Kawhi Leonard’s odd injury and pesky uncle caused so much beef the Spurs lost their star | Part Two Secret Base 2022-11-26 | Kawhi Leonard and the San Antonio Spurs fostered a special connection on the court. Throughout their partnership, both Kawhi and the Spurs experienced a ton of success and proved San Antonio wasn’t going anywhere. For six years, the introverted superstar and the Spurs seemed inseparable until a mysterious quadriceps injury limited Kawhi’s play, ultimately stripping the true essence of what held their relationship together — hooping. With Kawhi unable to perform, the usual story of greatness that surrounded the league’s model franchise turned into a bizarre saga where a once strong connection collapsed, and in its place: beef that shifted the entire landscape of the NBA.Written, produced and edited by: Joe Ali Motion graphics designed by: Philip PasternakSubscribe: http://goo.gl/NbabaeEnter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-baseFollow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbaseCheck out our full video catalog: http://goo.gl/9pMHRVVisit our playlists: http://goo.gl/NvpZFFExplore SB Nation: http://www.sbnation.com

The destiny-altering final seconds of Vikings-Cardinals need a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-11-19 | It’s December 28th, 2003. We’re in Tempe, Arizona for week 17 and the Minnesota Vikings are in control up 5, a clock running under 10 seconds, and this down and distance is not a typo. These hometown Cardinals are in a bad spot, scrambling for a miracle touchdown to win. One last defensive stop here not only seals today for Minnesota, but delivers them the NFC North crown. If Arizona pulls this off, then the Vikings will watch the rival Packers go to the playoffs in their place. No pressure, Minnesota. So, to really enjoy what comes next, let’s rewind.Written and produced by Will BuikemaEdited by Brian TorresSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

Kawhi Leonards beef with the Spurs was the feud nobody expected | Part One Secret Base 2022-11-12 | It’s incredible how much Kawhi Leonard fit the San Antonio Spurs' ethos. A reclusive team-first superstar, who rarely showed emotions and only cared about hooping. San Antonio is a model franchise that’s often been called bland, boring, or as I like to say — sauceless but whatever you wanna call them, their success on the court has spoken volumes. On paper, Kawhi and the Spurs were a match made in heaven who appeared to be locked in with each other until the end of time. Except, the relationship that seemed to be unbreakable from the outside ultimately deteriorated behind the scenes, resulting in a messy divorce. But to truly appreciate the tenderness of this beef you have to understand that it’s arguably the most improbable feud that occurred in NBA history.Written and produced by: Joe AliDirected and edited by: Ryan SimmonsArt direction by: Michael DasSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

The People Youre Paying to Be in Shorts | Dorktown Secret Base 2022-11-10 | It’s 2011. For Michael Jordan, the year ahead will be a very strange one. Once a player who could seemingly deliver championships through sheer force of will, the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats is finally developing the one skill he had always denied himself: patience. Nothing about that is easy, and nothing about the lovable, unforgettable 2011-2012 Bobcats will be easy. But as much as he despises losing, Mike has always seemed to love the struggle.Dorktown presents THE PEOPLE YOU’RE PAYING TO BE IN SHORTS, a new feature-length documentary from Secret Base.

Patrick Mahomes sprint into the record books deserves a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-10-25 | Some of the best stories don't adhere to the rules: There's no middle act for Patrick Mahomes and the NFL: He was barely more than an unknown through most of his college days, then shot up draft boards thanks to his raw talent and scouting buzz. Still, he was panned for his decision making, throwing style and pretty much every other facet of his game that made him what he became. Which is kind of crazy, isn't it?

How the Senators implosion proved inevitable despite their deep playoff run Secret Base 2022-10-22 | The Ottawa Senators shocked everyone when they pushed the Penguins to a game seven, double-overtime finale of 2017's Eastern Conference Finals. They over-performed, they got lucky, they shouldn't have made it that far - but they were there. The Sens sat on the doorstep to competing for the franchise's first-ever Stanley Cup. And then, poof.Not only did they lose that game, but everything that their magical run momentarily covered up came fully into view. Their destruction came from within and as the months rolled by it proved that no matter what the players had done on the ice in 2017, their demise was inevitable.**CORRECTION: at 7:05, the Senators hosted Montreal, not Toronto as said in the video. I (Will) apologize to both fanbases for mixing up the two of you.

The moment that won the 1997 World Series needs a deep rewind | Florida vs Cleveland Secret Base 2022-09-27 | The 1997 World Series between Cleveland and Florida came down to do-or-die extra innings in a do-or-die Game 7. In the bottom of the 11th, the score was tied, the bases were loaded, and there were two outs. Clutch hitter Edgar Renteria was at the plate for the Marlins. A non-closer with something to prove, Charles Nagy, was on the mound for Cleveland. This is edge-of-your-seat stuff.But maybe you want to just stand up, a seat’s edge is only so big because with the context of what and who and how we got to this moment, it becomes even more tense.We’ve got hired guns going up against a pitcher 3 years out of high school. We’ve got a 4x Gold Glove winner embarrassing himself. We’ve got a Cuban defector breaking records. We’ve got baseball purists frothing over the idea that either of these teams could win - and obviously, one of them is about to.So, see ya in hell, seat.

How the Magic fell from the Shaq-Penny 90s powerhouse to the NBAs basement Secret Base 2022-09-24 | The Orlando Magic were one of the luckiest expansion franchises ever. Consecutive lottery wins handed them Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway, which allowed them to go from nothing to the NBA Finals in just 6 years.

Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tates beef saw on-field punches and plenty of family drama Secret Base 2022-09-17 | Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tate have the perfect components for an NFL beef. Rasmey’s a shutdown defensive back and known prolific trash talker who doesn’t back down from anyone. Tate’s a receiver who mocks his defenders like his life depends on it. It’s a classic recipe for disaster because of their positions, but they would have beefed no matter if Ramsey were a kicker and Tate played left guard. The feud between these two is highly personal and goes beyond the field. It’s a unique slow-aged beef dating back to their hometown Nashville, Tennessee.

Peyton Manning: golden boy, playoff choker ... NFL Legend Secret Base 2022-09-06 | Peyton Manning rode off into the sunset, retiring after the second Super Bowl victory of his career. Following 18 unbelievable seasons, it’s arguably one of the most rewarding finishes for any profession. With a golden arm, a meticulous work ethic, and immense intelligence - Manning cemented himself as an NFL legend. That can’t be debated.Although Manning had a storybook ending solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, the ending helped overshadow portions of a career where that legacy wasn’t crystal clear. Moments like Peyton being described as lacking the killer instinct to be a great champion. Or being regarded as the guy with ridiculous stats and flashy moves at the line of scrimmage who would never win a ring. It’s the reality of the legacy that Peyton had built throughout his career and one that could have drastically shaped how he’s remembered in history had things gone slightly different.Written and produced by: Joe AliDirected and edited by: Charlotte AtkinsonArt direction by: Michael DasSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

Anna Kournikova: child prodigy, doubles champion ... Famous Loser Secret Base 2022-08-30 | People tend to remember Anna Kournikova as overhyped, and it's not entirely off-base. Kournikova, thanks in large part to her marketable sex-symbol status, became way more famous than some much more accomplished athletes. But even if that simple label takes root in reality, it flattens Kournikova's path to receiving it. It neglects how Kournikova hit the tour as a child prodigy, how her image received attention long before she could control it, and how her career included both genuine success and premature disruption.

Being drafted one spot before Kevin Durant certainly doesn’t help but is it fair to label Oden as a bust if he never had the chance to properly succeed? In our new series ‘Prism’ we aim to tackle the public perception of iconic athletes and sports personalities, in an effort to better understand the person, where that perception came from, and what other aspects of their history it overlooks. In the case of Greg Oden, he’s consistently labeled as one of the biggest busts in the history of the NBA. Athletes typically fit this description when they fail to meet a certain level of expectations but Oden’s case is unique. To fully understand why Oden is perceived this way, we have to remember his extreme potential, how the NBA operated before he was drafted, and distinguish why not all busts are the same.Written and produced by: Joe AliDirected by: Ryan SimmonsArt direction by: Michael DasSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

The Doc Rivers-Bill Simmons beef is what happens when the media are fans Secret Base 2022-07-30 | Before he became a media mogul, Bill Simmons was a Celtics fan. While Simmons was getting super famous, the Celtics weren't very good. The man overseeing that not-very-goodnesss was coach Doc Rivers. So Bill's problems became Doc's problems, and vice versa. This is what happens when one of the biggest stars in sports media cares deeply and publicly about a particular team, and the guy running team isn't just going to take it all in stride. It got awkward, and it got beefy.Directed and edited by Ryan SimmonsWritten and produced by Seth RosenthalSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

The fastest UFC fight ever needs a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-07-23 | It’s July 6th, 2019. We’re at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC 239. Welterweights Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren are about to face off and we are about to witness history. But to understand the history of this moment, the long roads these guys took to get here, the hatred that’s built between them, and the possibility of this actually unraveling into full-on beef - we need to rewind.Written and produced by Will BuikemaEdited by Brian Torres - briantorrescamargo.comSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

Allen Iverson and Larry Brown’s beef was so thick even a finals berth couldn’t cut through it Secret Base 2022-07-16 | If you merely glance at Larry Brown and Allen Iverson's relationship, you see they got to the finals in '01 and say "that's nice" and move along. But if you peel back the packaging, you see that for six long seasons they suffered each other. They had fundamental differences in many categories, from how to run an offense, to how much to party in Miami (Brown: none. Allen: as much as he wants who cares if there's a game tomorrow).The fact that they got to the finals despite their feuding is remarkable, and makes you wonder what could have happened if they had gotten along. ...and to avoid ending on a sad note, lemme just say, they're friends now!

The controversial playoff climax that forced referees to actually talk to each other Secret Base 2022-07-14 | I always assumed an NFL officiating crew was tight. They bonded over shared experiences, laughed over the misfortunes of those they governed, they...were friends. Alas, egg on my face.During the 2003 Wild Card Weekend, the Giants got absolutely robbed. As a result, the NFL went about making some changes - changes that in my mind are genuinely shocking weren't already a facet of the game.Hosted by Ryan Simmons and Will BuikemaAnimations and illustrations by Tyson WhitingEditing by Will BuikemaSubscribe: goo.gl/NbabaeCheck out our full video catalog: goo.gl/9pMHRVVisit our playlists: goo.gl/NvpZFFLike SB Nation on Facebook: goo.gl/Pzcs7OFollow on Twitter: goo.gl/5LI02DFollow on Instagram: goo.gl/aY2FFKExplore SB Nation: http://www.sbnation.com
The longest tennis match, an 11-hour Wimbledon ultramarathon over 3 days, deserves a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-07-09 | John Isner and Nicolas Mahut started their 2010 first round Wimbledon match on a Tuesday. Two days and eleven-plus hours of play later, they were still out on the court, locked in what felt like an unbreakable tennis loop.Isner has his fifth chance to end things and move on in the tournament. Mahut, as you can guess, successfully navigated the previous four. And the eyes of the tennis world are on them both.But how does a match stretch to this absurd length? You need players with the right combined skill sets, a Grand Slam with a certain adherence to traditions of the sport, and a colleague willing to go on a pizza run.Written and produced by Ryan NanniEdited and graphics by Ryan SimmonsAdditional graphics by Philip PasternakSubscribe: goo.gl/NbabaeCheck out our full video catalog: goo.gl/9pMHRVVisit our playlists: goo.gl/NvpZFFLike SB Nation on Facebook: goo.gl/Pzcs7OFollow on Twitter: goo.gl/5LI02DFollow on Instagram: goo.gl/aY2FFKExplore SB Nation: http://www.sbnation.com
Throwing in the towel doesnt end a fight and it might even hurt you. Let us explain. Secret Base 2022-07-02 | We are all familiar with the concept of throwing in the towel, but have we grown 'too' familiar? Well, according to the Nevada Athletic Commission's view on things - maybe.It was shocking to learn that not only does throwing in the towel not have to signal the end of the fight but the fighter can be penalized if his corner does so. Something something insult to injury something something. So, what's the deal? What's up with this rule? Why is it there?

Section 1: A short film from Dorktown Secret Base 2022-06-25 | The Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s won four Super Bowls and fielded some of the greatest teams ever assembled.

Reggie Miller getting his night ruined needs a deep rewind | 2004 ECF Pacers-Pistons Secret Base 2022-06-22 | Poor Reggie Miller. Or alternatively, depending on your fandom, take that Reggie Miller! The guy was 38, running out of chances to win a title, and this night did not go his way. But there's so much more going on in this series.We've got Rick Carlisle coaching the Pacers, against a Piston's team that fired him a year prior. We've got a classic Reggie Miller three pointer to win game one. We've got Rasheed Wallace guaranteeing a game two win for the Pistons. And we've got the surprise ending of this game...should I say it or leave it for the video? If you've read this far, you probably know what happened. And, I mean, it's from 2004... I can't hold back I'm gonna say it: We've got one of the best chase down blocks in NBA history from Tayshaun Prince. Sorry if I spoiled the video.

Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegans beef gave us one of the most memorable fights in NFL history Secret Base 2022-06-18 | Two classic ingredients that push NFL players towards beef are 1) sharing a division and 2) playing positions that demand interaction. For Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan, that’s two big checks towards one big beef. In a lot of ways this feud simultaneously made complete sense and came as a total surprise. So how exactly did this unravel into maybe the most memorable fight in NFL history?

For a moment there, young Stan Van Gundy was Shaq's coach.

The unexpected hero who decided LeBrons duel with Gilbert Arenas deserves a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-05-28 | LeBron James' first ever playoff series was a thriller. In his third season, LeBron finally carried the much-improved Cleveland Cavaliers into the postseason, where they faced a dangerous first-round opponent: the Washington Wizards, led by the gutsy and unpredictable Gilbert Arenas. To pull ahead in the series, young LeBron had to perform multiple feats of clutchness. This episode of Rewinder finds LeBron at the end of Game 6, a game defined to that point by one incredible Arenas shot and one costly Arenas blunder. James has the ball in his hands, but the Wizards are loath to let him beat the buzzer yet again. So ... who will it be? To figure that out, we're gonna need to rewind.Directed and edited by Jiazhen ZhangWritten and produced by Seth RosenthalSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

The Steelers nearly gifted the Chargers free points for the win Secret Base 2022-05-24 | Now, relatedly, how much would you bet that NFL referees just don't know what's going on? The more we do this series, the more it feels like they have a good feel for about 70% of the rulebook -- all the real standard stuff -- but they don't bog their brains down with too much of the fine print. I believe that was the case when the Chargers visited the Steelers in 2018, and thus we were robbed -- ROBBED I say -- of a history-making call.

The Kings-Rangers double-overtime thriller in 2014 deserves a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-05-21 | It’s June 13th, 2014. We’re in L.A. where the hometown Kings are battling the New York Rangers in game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Tied at two, nearly 15 minutes into a second overtime. Someone’s gotta score.If LA can take control of the puck, every shot attempt has the chance to bring them their second Cup in three years. Their road has been anything but straightforward, they’ve overcome the odds with absurd regularity, in large part thanks to Jonathan Quick - their man between the pipes. If the Rangers can get another past him they’ll not only live to see game six but potentially steal the momentum of a series that could easily be in their control. If they can fully pull off the comeback, it would be the final feather in the already feather-filled cap of one of the most impressive goaltenders we’ve ever seen.Written and produced by Will BuikemaEdited and graphics by Charlotte AtkinsonAdditional graphics by Philip PasternakSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

Deron Williams vs Jerry Sloan: A beef so spicy the legendary Jazz coach quit Secret Base 2022-05-14 | Jerry Sloan coached the Jazz for 23 years. Then, one night in February 2011, he quit. There are different accounts of what was actually said, and how events actually went down. But the facts are: Jerry Sloan and Deron Williams had a halftime argument, the next day Sloan officially quit.Resentment had been building for some time. Sloan and D-Will butted heads for four-and-a-half seasons, things were bound to blow up sooner or later. Why couldn’t the hard nosed coach and willful point guard get along? Did you see the adjectives I used to describe ‘em? That’s why.

How the Chicago Blackhawks turned superstars into a dynasty, and a dynasty into a nightmare Secret Base 2022-05-07 | The Chicago Blackhawks turned superstars into a dynasty, and a dynasty into an impossible standard. By the time the “Baby Blackhawks” lost to Detroit in the 2009 Western Conference Finals, Forbes Magazine already hailed the franchise as “the greatest sports-business turnaround ever.” Three Cups in five years, led by two young superstars and a dynamic core of supporting players. Chicago had already completed one dynasty, and there was no reason this group couldn’t keep going at a Championship level. But, even superstars can’t do it alone.Written and produced by Steven GodfreyEdited by Charlotte AtkinsonGraphics by Tyson WhitingSubscribe: http://goo.gl/Nbabae Enter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-base Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbase Follow us on Twitch: twitch.tv/secretbasesbn Follow us on Tiktok: tiktok.com/@secretbasesbn?

Dwyane Wades miraculous buzzer-beater in his final season deserves a deep rewind Secret Base 2022-04-30 | Heading into the final season of his career, there was no doubt that Dwyane Wade would be recognized as the greatest Miami Heat player in franchise history. On February 27th, 2019, what appeared to be a basic regular-season game for Miami against the Golden State Warriors ended in a spectacular fashion. Down by two points with very little time remaining, D-Wade had the opportunity to be the savior for the Heat like he’s done several times before. Before we watch Wade’s last-second shot attempt, we need to understand what makes it so magical.It’s worth taking a moment to reflect on what Wade means to the Heat organization. When he was drafted in 2003, Wade was the spark to building a losing franchise into a true contender. He essentially helped build the franchise. Throughout his career in Miami, Wade made several All-NBA selections, won three championships, and earned a Finals MVP but his relationship with Miami wasn’t always smooth. Through several ups and downs, Wade at a time wasn’t a member of the Heat. But at this moment, he’s back in Miami to finish his career off where he started. To appreciate what D-Wade gave us in a magnificent finish, it’s worth remembering his legendary career with Miami, his ability to close out games in striking style, why his time in Miami ended, and how he found his way back to the Heat.Let’s rewind.Written, produced, and edited by Joe Ali (Twitter: @JoeAli)Subscribe: http://goo.gl/NbabaeEnter the Secret Base: http://www.sbnation.com/secret-baseFollow us on Twitter: twitter.com/secretbaseCheck out our full video catalog: http://goo.gl/9pMHRVVisit our playlists: http://goo.gl/NvpZFFExplore SB Nation: http://www.sbnation.com

How the Milwaukee Bucks scrapped a contender, refused to rebuild ... then somehow turned out great Secret Base 2022-04-23 | Okay, so this Collapse has a punchline, which is that the Milwaukee Bucks won it all in 2021. But that outcome only makes the era preceding it more compelling. The prior very-good Bucks team took the league by storm in 2001.
