Markelle Fultz Is Excited About Philly Because Of Its Chicken Sandwiches
Markelle Fultz, taken first overall by the Sixers last night, has a column today in The Players’ Tribune. While it doesn’t quite reach the levels of Dion Waiters’s opus in April, it’s pretty good.

Wiseass At NBA Draft Shouts Out Picks Right Before They're Announced
Anyone with internet access can figure out the NBA Draft minutes before the picks are announced on TV.

Mets Fan Nearly Drops Baby For Foul Ball, And Mom Is <i>Pissed</i>
In the eighth inning of last night’s 6-3 Dodgers win, one Mets fan decided he could make a one-handed play on a foul ball with a baby already in the other arm. He did, I suppose, though I’m not sure the baby’s mother would agree with his decision-making....

Here's LaVar Ball Being Raucously Booed While Leaving The Draft
As expected, the Lakers selected UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick of tonight’s NBA draft. As expected, his father LaVar Ball had some grand proclamations to make beforehand.

Here's How The First Round Of The 2017 NBA Draft Shook Out
The biggest story of the NBA draft’s first round was the Bulls and Timberwolves swapping picks as part of a trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota in an absurdly low package.

Roger Federer Is Back On His Feet
