Share this: Jayson Tatum continues to amaze. The Boston Celtics rookie has dominated NBA Summer League action in Utah and Las Vegas, and we saw more evidence of it Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The No. 3 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft hit a very tough shot from the baseline in the first quarter, while also getting fouled. This shot adds to the list of impressive summer league moments for Tatum, one that includes a game-winner against the Philadelphia 76ers and an incredible fadeaway versus the Utah Jazz. Expectations for Tatum, which already were extremely high, have grown even higher with his summer league performances.

New NBA Insider Ice Cube Has Update on Chauncey Billups, Cavs Opening
Share this: You now can add NBA insider to Ice Cube’s already impressive résumé. The legendary rapper and actor was approached by TMZ Sports on Wednesday days before his new 3-on-3 league, the BIG3, tips off, and he was asked which team is the favorite to win the inaugural season. And his answer might have broke some pretty big news when it comes to Chauncey Billups and the Cleveland Cavaliers. “It was the Killer 3’s (led by Chauncey and Stephen Jackson) for a minute but since Chauncey took that job, it might change,” Ice Cube said, via TMZ Sports. The Cavs are in need of a new front office presence after they parted ways with general manager Daniel Griffin earlier this week, and Billups was rumored
Watch Kyle Busch’s Million-Dollar Moment From NASCAR’s All-Star Race
Share this: Kyle Busch still hasn’t taken a checkered flag in a points race this season. But even though his victory in Saturday’s NASCAR All-Star Race won’t bring him any closer to the playoffs, he’s probably celebrating like he did. That’s because in visiting victory lane for the first time in 2017, Busch earned himself a cool $1 million. After qualifying for a spot among nine other drivers in the race’s final 10-lap shootout, Busch, as he’s done so often, used an impressive jump off the restart to claim a lead he never relinquished. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver then parked his No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry and celebrated as he usually does, except this time with a hefty check. We don’t want to take
Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas Continues To Shine In Series Vs. Bulls Amid Adversity
No one knew how Isaiah Thomas was going to perform in the NBA playoffs. Just a day before the start of the postseason, the Boston Celtics point guard learned his 22-year-old sister had been killed as a result of a single-car crash in Washington. Thomas would take the floor the following night, and although the Celtics dropped Game 1 of their first-round series against the Chicago Bulls, Thomas’ 33 points in the contest were remarkably impressive. Since then, Thomas has continued to shine for the Celtics, who evened their series with the Bulls with a critical 104-95 win at the United Center on Sunday.

Bruins-Senators Game 1 Takeaways: Are We Sure Zdeno Chara Is A Human Being?
The Boston Bruins looked dead in the water after 40 minutes on Wednesday night in Ottawa. However, the Bruins — as they have for much of Bruce Cassidy’s brief tenure — were able to dig deep and find a way to win, scoring two third-period goals en route to a 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 1 of their Stanley Cup playoffs first-round series. The gutsy effort was especially impressive given how bleak the situation appeared entering the third period. The Bruins registered a grand total of zero shots on goal in the middle frame, falling victim to Ottawa’s frustrating 1-3-1 neutral-zone trap. Here are some key takeaways from Boston’s series...
