If you can’t stand Stephen A. Smith, you might want to avoid “NBA Live 18.” That’s because the upcoming game’s career mode will feature actual segments from “First Take,” ESPN’s polarizing talk show co-hosted by Smith and Max Kellerman, according to For The Win. Now, before you freak out and cancel your “NBA Live” pre-order, you might want to watch the following clip. Say what you want about “First Take,” but it’s pretty impressive that Smith and Kellerman are able to carry on a “debate” without mentioning either a specific team or the name of The Comeback Kid, the protagonist of the game’s career mode. It looks l... NESN.com

Paul Pierce Retiring With Celtics Is Final Chapter Of Legendary Boston Sports Career
Becoming a legendary player in the history of the Boston Celtics is incredibly difficult. The group of players with that distinction is long, and the barrier to entry is steep. Paul Pierce climbed that mountain, and soon officially will close his career after signing a contract with the C’s on Monday so he can retire with the team that drafted him 10th overall in 1998. “It’s an honor to have this opportunity to once again call myself a Boston Celtic,” Pierce said in a team release. “The organization and city took me in and made me one of their own, and I couldn’t imagine ending my career any other way. I’m a Celtic for

Bubba Wallace Tweets Congratulations At Friend Ryan Blaney On Pocono 400 Win
Share this: Sunday afternoon’s Axalta presents the Pocono 400 race in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series was one Darrell Wallace Jr. never will forget.

Jimmie Johnson Ties Cale Yarborough On All-Time Wins List At Monster Mile
Share this: Jimmie Johnson’s NASCAR résumé is among the best ever, and he continued his ascent up the sport’s all-time wins list with Sunday’s victory in the AAA 400 Drive for Autism at Dover International Speedway. It was Johnson’s 83rd career win, tying him with Cale Yarborough for fifth-most all-time. He now trails only Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltrip by one on the career wins leaderboard. Johnson didn’t lead much of Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race — just seven laps, in fact — but he made his move after the overtime restart. A huge wreck shortly before that set up a wild finish. Despite leading the majority of the laps, Kyle Larson had to settle for second place after not being able to
Magic Johnson Explains What LaVar Ball, Kris Jenner Have In Common
Share this: LaVar Ball isn’t the first parent to put his children in the spotlight. Magic Johnson, the Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations, told ESPN Radio Los Angeles on Wednesday, he has “no problem” with Ball’s antics and doesn’t expect them to affect his son Lonzo’s NBA career, according to Bleacher Report’s Mike Chiari. Johnson even compared LaVar Ball to Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian family (of reality television fame). “Look, the Kardashians, we didn’t say that the mom was bad, and she made them a lot of money, right?” Johnson said. “She’s bragged on her daughters, and I think it’s the same here. He’s (Ball) just saying, ‘Hey, my son is great,’ and there’s nothing bad with that.” Lonzo
Stephen A. Smith On James Harden’s No-Show: ‘He Looks Like He Was Drugged’
Share this: With talks of a “Space Jam” sequel coming down the road, it looked Thursday night like Houston Rockets star James Harden might have had his talent stripped by the Monstars — and that’s probably a theory ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith would believe. Harden picked a bad time for one of the worst games of his career, as he was a no-show in the Rockets’ season-ending Game 6 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The banged-up Spurs annihilated the Rockets 114-75, while Harden scored just 10 points on 2-of-11 shooting with six turnovers before eventually fouling out. Smith, in an appearance late Thursday night on “SportsCenter,” struggled to find an answer for Harden’s performance. He joked (at least we think he’s joking) that
