Eleven-year-old Taylor Crozier was one of the first kids to try out Tiger Woods’ children’s golf course in a private country club in Texas. With parents, media and Woods himself watching, Taylor showed how one becomes a legend.

Yep, that’s the point of view of a man who’s somersaulting over a spinning helicopter blade. Carefree skiier Candide Thovex upped the ante for his third One of Those Days video. There’s a fair amount of editing magic here, but it’s no less amazing for that.

Did you know that hockey was not invented in Canada? Or that the black belt is not always the highest rank in martial arts? All that in more in Mental Floss’ final Misconceptions episode. Boooo!

“HOW’D HE DO THAT?!” MaxPreps shares this video of high school basketball player Melvin Lee, who is supposedly only 5’5″ tall. Melvin literally shut a game down, at least for a moment, when he leapt practically his height to posterize two defenders.

“I can’t sleep since you took my puppy!” The second part of Bad Lip Reading’s football special takes on esoteric topics such as fudge, face tattoos, Peyton Manning’s jokes, but ironically it’s best bit didn’t need to be dubbed.

“We’re gonna put the ball on third and whatever. I don’t wanna measure.” Bad Lip Reading caught Drew Brees’ pep talk, Tom Brady’s secret to winning games, Cam Newton’s Paris escapades and more. Long live Wu Tang.

A season-long series by The Players’ Tribune. It’s about the passing of wisdom between Phoenix Suns’ 33-year old center Tyson Chandler, a 15-year veteran, NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist, and his teammate Devin Booker, the 19-year old sharpshooting rookie.
