Kyrie Irving has been sensational for the Boston Celtics this season, to say the least. But don’t let his play cause you to forget how great Isaiah Thomas was during his time in Boston. ESPN reporter Chris Forsberg recently published an article about how clutch Irving has been since joining the C’s, and compared his crunch-time numbers to those of Thomas. No harm, no foul. However, the headline on ESPN.com read, “Isaiah who? Why Kyrie Irving is Boston’s new king of clutch time.” Assuming Thomas would have something to say about this, Twitter user Zach Pisani tweeted the photo at the Cleveland Cavaliers guard. Thomas took the bait, and offer... NESN.com

Stephen A. Smith Apparently Plays Big Role In ‘NBA Live 18’ Career Mode
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.

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

Jayson Tatum Would Be Celtics’ Top Draft Pick, If Jeff Van Gundy Had A Say

Jeff Van Gundy, the ESPN analyst and former NBA coach, said two weeks ago during the NBA Finals that the Celtics should draft Duke forward Jayson Tatum over Washington guard Markelle Fultz. “Well, it seems like there’s a lot of different opinions, (but) I don’t think (Celtics president of basketball operations) Danny Ainge is going to be swayed by anybody else’s opinion,” Van Gundy told “Pillow Talk Show” host Max Berkowitz in San Francisco, for an episode that will premiere Tuesday on NESN.com. “I think he’s going to evaluate (it) himself.

F1 Driver Fernando Alonso Not Ruling Out Full-Time IndyCar Campaign
Share this: As Fernando Alonso prepares to make the next move in his career once his contract with McLaren-Honda expires, he apparently isn’t taking any option off the table. Alonso repeatedly has said his goal is to find a drive with a Formula One team that will be capable of fighting for the championship. However, he apparently isn’t ruling out a full-time drive in IndyCar, according to ESPN. The Spaniard was asked during the broadcast of Saturday’s IndyCar race at Texas Motor Speedway whether he would jump ship to race an entire season in the American open-wheel series, and he seemed open to the idea. “Why not?” Alonso said, via ESPN. “I mean, I’m very open to anything.
