Byron Scott Says Cleveland Cavaliers Didn't Give Him A Fair Shake

I've never been invited to one of those high-end poker games hosted by Helly Nahmad's pals, but I do know he's a gambling man.

Brittney Griner Outs Herself As Already Out
It's been two days since Brittney Griner was unsurprisingly picked No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft by the Phoenix Mercury. As far as anyone can tell, Griner has not publicly mentioned her sexuality before. Now, in the most subtle of ways, the former Baylor star just did....
