LeBron James Played The Best Kind Of Hero Ball
I’m still not entirely sure what we saw last night, only that I loved it. This was not a good game by any means—it was sloppy and disjointed and featured as many bad misses as missed calls—but it was the most single most viscerally entertaining game since at least Game 7 of Clippers-Spurs. And it fe...

Cavs Fan Promises To Eat Ancient Mark Price Bar If Cleveland Wins
Cavaliers fan Tim Brady has sworn he will consume a long-frozen Mark Price chocolate bar if Cleveland wins an NBA title. We can tell him from personal experience that this is a very bad idea....
The Cavs And Kyrie Irving Seem To Disagree On His Injury
This Kyrie Irving injury is especially frustrating because, for his 44 minutes on the court, he looked great.

In Kent Babb’s revealing new biography of Allen Iverson, he gets into the famous 2002 press conference in which “AI” repeated the phrase “we’re talking about practice” 22 times. According to the book, 76ers coaches and executives believed Iverson was drunk....
LeSean McCoy Is Fed Up With Being Asked About Chip Kelly

Thierry Henry’s uncalled handball in a World Cup play-off was a major reason France qualified for the 2010 tournament instead of Ireland. Today, the head of the Football Association of Ireland confirmed that FIFA paid off the FAI to avoid legal action....
Mets Pitcher Dillon Gee Says He Was Tricked Into Supporting Gun Control
The New York Mets recently posed for the above photo in which they all wear orange to support the “Everytown for Gun Safety” nonprofit co-founded and supported by former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg. The organization makes no bones about its mission: Bloomberg pictures it as a counterweight to the ...
A 20-Year-Old Saved The Blackhawks And Fears The Media
Game 1 was two minutes from feeling very different. For a span of nearly 50 minutes, it appeared that Alex Killorn’s absurd deflection (I don’t want to call it “fluky,” because it wasn’t accidental, but Killorn couldn’t do that again if he tried) would stand up and give the Lightning a series lead. ...
Cubs' And Marlins' Benches Clear, And Everyone Immediately Apologizes
There were no punches thrown in the sixth-inning scrum during last night’s 7-3 Marlins win, and both sides quickly headed back to their own dugouts. In fact, it might have been one of the politest bench-clearings of all time, as the main instigator, Cubs outfielder Junior Lake, apologized unreserved...
