NBA’s Most Overrated Players.


#1 Derrick Williams

The highly regarded talent out of Arizona hasn’t played up to his potential this season. He is still struggling to find his range from the floor, shooting under 40 percent from the field. And add to the fact that he hasn’t played in three of the past four games due to the coach’s decision, and it spells panic.


#2 Metta World Peace

World Peace is slowly fading as a player. And all of his numbers are showing it, including his point per game average (which is down 2 points).


#3 Joe Johnson

Johnson is an All-Star to boot. But throwing up 15 shots a game and scoring 15 points a game should make you think twice about filling out that All-Star ballot.


#4 Rashard Lewis

Who does he play for again? The Heat? Good luck getting on the floor, especially with Ray Allen getting looks. We couldn't even find a picture of him playing.


#5 Kendrick Perkins

Yes, Perkins brings a sort of raw, tough-guy mentality to an otherwise soft Oklahoma City Thunder team. But he might just be the worst offensive center in the game. That shouldn’t bode well for a team with NBA Finals aspirations.


#6 Michael Beasley

How many games is enough to bench one of your starters? Is 18 enough? The former No. 2 selection in the NBA draft has devolved into a shell of his self in college, posting 3 ppg less than his career average.


#7 Austin Rivers

Rivers was awarded extended minutes due to the injury of Eric Gordon. The 2012 first-round pick hasn’t proved his worth yet, averaging a measly 6 points per contest. Not even enough to warrant a nod from his pops over in Boston.


#8 Josh Smith

Without Joe Johnson manning the wing, the team relied solely on Smith to do the team’s scoring. Though he has maintained his career average of 16 ppg, it takes him a lot more shot attempts to get there.

10 BEACHES you DON'T want to visit.


10 BEACHES YOU DON'T WANT TO VISIT


Chow Patty Beach - Mumbai, India 

If your idea of a relaxing day at the beach involves swimming alongside little rafts of cow manure, then Chow Patty Beach in India should be right up your alley. Cows are considered sacred in these parts, so don’t be surprised if you spot them travelling around in large numbers. When they’re not trying to steal the shade of your umbrella, you can find them roaming happily along the seaside.



Fujiazhuang Beach - Dalian, China 

Holding the title of China’s most crowded beach, Fujiazhuang is standing room only for the first 10 metres or so from the waters edge. Though incredibly beautiful, you may have a hard time actually seeing the beach with the number of people who frequent it. Oh, and we should probably mention that there is only one toilet block serving 10,000 people, so you can guess what you’re swimming in…



Blackpool Beach - United Kingdom 


One of the most frequented beaches in the UK, attracting more than six million visitors annually; you’d think Blackpool Beach would be something pretty amazing. Not necessary. By many accounts, it’s just one big, trashy amusement park crowded with stag parties and drunken teenagers. Pleasure Beach is more often than not laden with litter, broken glass and drug paraphernalia.


Marunda Beach - Jakarta, Indonesia 

If the pungent aroma that fills your nostrils isn’t enough to deter you, the sight of the murky water will. Cooking oil dumped into the water by a nearby factory, together with rubbish dumped onto the beachfront by wind and ocean currents have created a perfect storm of contamination. Despite this, the beach is actually quite highly visited by locals. We still don’t recommend it though.


Repulse Bay - Hong Kong 

It may be located in one of the most expensive housing areas of Hong Kong, yet Repulse Bay is anything but the idyllic beach you’ve been seeking. The name is actually quite apt. The once white sand is now a sad, grey colour - stained by street run off and (bizarrely) liposuction fat pumped out into the ocean. Regardless of what people may tell you, it’s never safe to go back into this water…


Haina Beach - Dominican Republic 

With a nickname like the “Dominican Chernobyl”, its pretty safe to assume Haina Beach isn't a nice place. In fact, it’s rated as one of the 10 most polluted beaches on earth thanks to the huge amount of lead and battery acid that have been disposed here. Local children have been reported to be suffering eye problems, seizures and severe learning deficiencies as a result of the toxic waste.


Maho Beach - Saint Martin, Caribbean

Welcome to plane-spotting paradise. The Princess Juliana International Airport Is located directly adjacent to Maho Beach, meaning low-flying aircraft regularly disturbing sunbathers. Due to the short runway length of just 2,180 meters incoming aircraft are basically skimming as close as possible to the beginning of the runway. If you’re present at the time of take-off it may be a good idea to move to the side of the runway, as the jet blast has been known to knock people over. Signs are posted all the around the area warning of the risk of injury and death from the strong winds.



Port Phillip Bay – Melbourne, Australia


Though this isn’t one beach, we can’t help but include Port Phillip Bay in the list. As there are more than 300 stormwater drains emptying into the bay, it’s become smelly and discoloured with elevated bacterial counts and extremely unhygienic items regularly washing up along the shore. Lifeguards here tend to spend their days picking up needles, broken glass and worse. Council have installed litter traps with the hope of preventing anything larger than a cigarette butt escaping into the bay.



Gansbaai - South Africa 

Have you ticked everything off your bucket list? It might be a good idea to also say your goodbyes if you’re planning to visit Gansbaai in South Africa. This beach is renowned for its huge population of Great Whites. The only way to safely enter the water is within a cage, as there’s a pretty high likelihood you’ll come face to face with a shark from April through to September.



Kuta Beach - Bali 

It may be a surf mecca, but Kuta Beach isn't the picture perfect location you imagine. Increased coastal development in the area, combined with a waste management system that can't keep up, has resulted in huge amounts of litter being washed up on the beaches each day. Photography of the area can be quite deceptive, so it’s important to do a bit of digging to see what the reality is.

Are These Funny Yearbook Quotes Clever, Or Embarrassing?


Your senior yearbook quote is your last chance to make an impression with a bunch of classmates that you might never see again. Years from now, while there are sitting down with their family or maybe their 7 cats, they are going to leaf through the yearbook , look at the pictures, and remember your face and your personality through your unique choice of words. It’s either very important, or not at all important. I don’t know how they feel about it one way or another, but I do know some of these are pretty funny. Are the HEROES? Or FOOLS? via SMOSH.

Brazilian Football Fans Celebrate Goal at Amateur Match by Shooting AK-47s.

Brazilian Football Fans Celebrate Goal at Amateur Match by Shooting AK-47s.


Football fans have been known to do some crazy things, but this celebration may be the wildest yet.

A group that the Brazilian media refers to as "bandits" shot off AK-47s into the air for more than 30 seconds after a player scored a goal. This happened during an amateur football match.

The incident took place in the Brazilian neighborhood of Bangu, which is in West Rio de Janeiro. Who's excited for World CUP?



Kevin Durant Avoid Watching the Game (PHOTOSHOPS)


When Kevin Durant sat down on the court to avoid watching teammate Russell Westbrook's decisive free throws in the final seconds of Game 5, he gave the Internet the perfect excuse to have some fun.

There's nothing better than seeing an iconic sports image turned into a social-media craze. Thanks to the Internet, the world was able to see what other huge moments Durant missed out on:








And pictures that edited by me:



Westbrook ended up sinking all of his free throws, allowing the Oklahoma City Thunder to down the Los Angeles Clippers, 105-104.

GIF: “Animated” LeBron James After Heat Advance.



When the Heat held on in Game 5 last night, despite Joe Johnson‘s very real threat of forcing a Game 6, LeBron James, perhaps a bit prematurely, jumped on the scorers table, and pounded his chest as the normally too cool for school Miami crowd cheered him on, but in GIF version. Check it out.
