Gordon Hayward's Daughter Crashed His Big <i>Fortnite</i> Stream And Almost Made Him Lose
Gordon Hayward has long been a prolific gamer, and it seems he’s spent his recovery from that horrific leg injury playing Overwatch, Destiny 2, and, most recently, Fortnite.

John Lynch Says Kyle Shanahan's "Master Plan" Was Getting Kirk Cousins To The 49ers
San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch went on ESPN Radio’s Mike & Trey Wednesday to talk about his team’s big offseason and Jimmy Garoppolo’s exciting future.

Report: Kawhi Leonard's Teammates Are Fed Up With Him, But He Still Doesn't Want To Come Back
Kawhi Leonard’s mysterious quad injury has kept him out of all but nine games this year.

Nobody Knows If Kawhi Leonard Will Play This Season, But Manu Ginobili Isn't Optimistic

Sean Miller Says He's Not Yet Desperate Enough To Go To Pitt
March has not been kind to Sean Miller. The Arizona men’s college basketball coach—who may or may not have been caught on an FBI wiretap arranging to pay DeAndre Ayton $100K—has no recruits coming to Tucson next year, and his squad vacated their bowels against 13-seed Buffalo in the first round of t...
Icelandic Announcer Loses His Goddamn Mind Over Full-Court Buzzer-Beater
Icelandic squad Haukar downed Keflavik with a long-range buzzer-beating heave to take a 2-0 lead in their playoff series last night. The shot was spectacular, but the call was even better.

Please Enjoy Vince Carter's Rude Blake Griffin Impression
In a game between two dead-end teams waiting for the draft, the Pistons stuck around for two-and-a-half quarters before the Kings gutted it out and pulled off the loss.

Pro Cyclist Booted From Race For Using His Bike As A Weapon
Cycling season has well and truly started up and that means that cycling fighting season has also begun.

Jordan Clarkson Has A Theory That Dinosaurs Were Really Pets For "Bigger People"
New Cavaliers players Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. went on Uninterrupted’s Road Trippin’ podcast with DJ Montage and Allie Clifton.
