Iman Shumpert Simply Cannot Believe The White House Podium Is Portable
Share this: Sometimes, the smallest things in life can leave us in wonder. Just ask Iman Shumpert, whose Cleveland Cavaliers paid a visit to the White House on Thursday to celebrate their 2016 NBA championship. As is custom, the Cavs posed for a group photo with Barack Obama, but the president’s podium was in the shot, so he had some staffers move it. Seems pretty routine, right? Not so for Shumpert, who was downright amazed when Obama’s aides magically whisked the podium away. Good luck finding anything that will leave you in as much awe as this momentous event left Shumpert. What makes this even better is that Shumpert’s teammates don’t seem to share his wonderment, leaving him looking around as if to say, “Is anyone
Is Blake Griffin Already Sneakily Laying Groundwork To Leave Clippers?
Kevin Durant might not be the last big superstar to shockingly leave the only team he’s ever played for in NBA free agency. The free agent class of 2017 is top heavy with loads of talented player, most of whom are expected to remain with their current clubs and/or even re-sign before even testing the waters — names like Stephen Curry, Chris Paul and, until his recent extension, Russell Westbrook are the big ones, but there’s one All-Star whose name shouldn’t fly so under the radar: Blake Griffin. The Los Angeles Clippers’ star probably isn’t going anywhere. He’s got a great gig in L.A. both on the court and off of it, and
Germany and Scotland impress, England leave it late
Group CNorway 0-3 GermanyThere were no mishaps from Germany as they began their FIFA World Cup defence with a convincing victory in Oslo to make it 24 World Cup qualifiers without defeat. Thomas Müller may have been unable to find the net at UEFA EURO 2016, but he put that tournament behind him with a pair of goals, either side of setting up a first senior Germany strike for Joshua Kimmich.
Lochte issues apology, blames ‘language barrier’
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — U.S Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has apologized for his behavior surrounding a late-night incident at a Rio de Janeiro gas station, saying he should have been more “careful and candid” about how he described what happened. Lochte said in a lengthy post on Instagram Friday that he was apologizing for his role in taking the focus away from other Olympic athletes. “This was a situation that could and should have been avoided,” Lochte said. “I accept responsibility for my role in this happening and have learned some valuable lessons.” The 12-time gold medalist reiterated his view that a stranger pointed a gun at him and demanded money to let him leave. Lochte had called it a robbery; Brazilian
NBA Free Agency: DeMar DeRozan Wants To Stay In Toronto, Not Leave For L.A.
Rumors have floated for over a year that Toronto Raptors franchise cornerstone DeMar DeRozan was patiently waiting for free agency so he could bolt home to Los Angeles. DeRozan, now a two-time All-Star, is expected to decline a $ 9.5 million player option he holds for next season. He very well could court a max contract from someone, even if it’s not the Raptors. But the 26-year-old, who never has been on record regarding leaving for L.A., is putting those rumors to rest. But even if it’s not L.A., is there a better spot for him besides Toronto? “I don’t th...
