Dikembe Mutombo Denies Bismack Biyombo Permission To Finger Wag (UPDATE)
TMZ caught up with Dikembe Mutombo, the former NBA star most recently famous for kinda-sorta-accidentally-almost-maybe-maybe-not revealing that the draft lottery was NOT rigged for the Philadelphia 76ers, and he offered his takes on Bismack Biyombo co-opting his signature finger wag move.

The Raptors Don't Quit

LeBron James Is Well And Truly On One Right Now
The Cavs beat the Raptors 108-89 tonight and they’ve now won their first 10 games of the playoffs in a row.

Rougned Odor Doesn’t Regret Walloping Jose Bautista, Claims Self-Defense

Blue Jays Call Rangers "Gutless" And "Cowardly" After Excellent Brawl
I believe with my whole heart that the seventh inning of last year’s ALDS Game 5—the non-interference throw back to the pitcher, the baby-soaking beer rain, Elvis Andrus’s meltdown, and ohmygod that bat flip—is the most entertaining inning of baseball ever played.
