Share this: We see what you (probably) did there, LeBron James. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar made a slight alteration to his pregame warmup Thursday before the Cavs’ matchup with the Chicago Bulls, and the internet thinks it might be a not-so-subtle message to the Ball family by seemingly mocking UCLA point guard and potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft Lonzo Ball’s unorthodox shooting motion. You be the judge. James and the Balls have a history, as the outspoken LaVar Ball mentioned James’ kids in one of his many outlandish statements. James, understandably, wasn’t a fan of what LaVar said, but that didn’t seem to faze the elder Ball. So it doesn’t feel like a stretch for the internet to come to this conclusion. Thumbnail

Kevin Harvick Calls Kyle Larson Best Young NASCAR Driver Since Jeff Gordon
Share this: If you haven’t watched a NASCAR race lately, you could be missing the emergence of a legend in the making. Kyle Larson is that good.

Ichiro Suzuki Has Hilarious Response To Question About When He’ll Retire
Share this: Ichiro Suzuki is headed into his 17th season in Major League Baseball, but he’s not planning on retiring anytime soon.

The All-Star point guard has piloted the Boston Celtics to the No.1 spot in the Eastern Conference while leading the league in fourth-quarter scoring. And during the Celtics’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, Thomas added another accolade to his incredible season.

It’s been quite a year for Thomas. Thumbnail
