Share this: Remember when rapper 50 Cent threw one of the worst first pitches in recent memory? Well, Phoenix Suns draft pick Josh Jackson gave the rap star a run for his money Friday night at an Arizona Diamondbacks game. Wow, that’s pretty bad. Luckily for Jackson, he’s a really good basketball player, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. The former Kansas Jayhawks star has a bright future with the Suns, but let’s hope he throws his passes on the court with a little more accuracy than his baseball tosses.

Draymond Green Mocks LeBron James’ Haircut In Savage Instagram Post
Share this: The NBA Finals are over, but Draymond Green isn’t done taking shots at the Cleveland Cavaliers. First, Green trolled the Cavs by wearing a “Quickie” shirt during the Golden State Warriors’ championship parade Thursday — a play on the Quicken Loans Arena, where Cleveland plays its home games. That was just the appetizer, though. Later in the day, Green put up an Instagram post mocking a video Cavs star LeBron James has posted shortly before the Warriors’ parade began. The video showed James hitting the gym and showing off his new haircut, to which Green replied: “Them dubs (Warriors) finally made him go bald!!! Congrats bro.” Insert about a million skull emojis here. James did have a pretty great response to Green for the shirt
Watch MMA Fighter Respond To Opponent’s Taunt With Vicious KO Kick To Face
Share this: There’s nothing wrong with talking a little trash — unless, of course, you get kicked in the face immediately afterward. Jordan Powell learned that lesson the hard way Friday night. The MMA fighter squared off against Dominick Reyes at Legacy Fight Alliance 13 in Burbank, Calif., and was feeling pretty good about himself after dodging a flurry of Reyes’ punches in the first round. In fact, Powell felt so good that he decided to shake his head in Reyes’ direction. Bad move. Instant karma, indeed. A split-second after Powell shook his head, “No,” Reyes uncorked a lethal “Yes” reply in the form of a knockout kick to the temple. Suffice it to say, Powell didn’t get back up, and all Reyes had to do was
Sixers’ Jerry Colangelo Reveals Telling Opinion On Lonzo, LaVar Ball
Share this: For better or worse, the full scouting report on Lonzo Ball involves more than just Lonzo Ball. We’re talking, of course, about Ball’s larger-than-life father, LaVar, who can’t seem to get out of his son’s way as he pursues his NBA dream. Case in point: Philadelphia 76ers special adviser Jerry Colangelo was asked Friday for his thoughts on Ball, who reportedly is considering working out for the Sixers ahead of the 2017 NBA Draft. “I think Ball is a terrific prospect and could have an outstanding NBA future,” Colangelo told the “Carlin and Reese” radio show on Philly’s 94 WIP, via ESPN.com. “I think it’s going to be challenging with the people around him, without being specific.” Translation: Ball is a great
Clever Cavs Fans’ License Plate Roasts Warriors’ Blown NBA Finals Lead
Share this: A well-placed joke about the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals seems to never get old, but one Cleveland Cavaliers fan made his version more subtle. Cleveland native Kory Siverd got a license plate commemorating the event after his beloved Cavs won their first NBA title, but you won’t find the phrase “3-1 lead” anywhere on it. Siverd’s vanity plate takes a second to register for those who aren’t automatically thinking about basketball, but once you get it, it’s pretty brilliant. Siverd told the Cleveland Plain Dealer he was surprised when he saw his license plate being shared on Reddit and Twitter, and although he wasn’t looking for any attention, he’s glad Cavs fans are
NBA Insider Believes Celtics Targeting Gordon Hayward As No. 1 Option This Summe…
Share this: The Boston Celtics, as evidenced by their start to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, probably are still a few players away from competing with the NBA’s elite — the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors. But they are in position to put a dent in that deficit this offseason. The C’s have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, and they also could sign another top free agent, similar to their approach last offseason when they drafted Jaylen Brown and signed Al Horford. But who would that free agent be? The Vertical’s Chris Mannix has a pretty good idea. “The next step for this team, that’s got to be Gordon Hayward,” Mannix said on CSNNE’s “Celtics Pregame
Guintoli: “I want to do well – but I know it will be hard”
“I was so impatient because the GSX-RR is one of the best bikes at the moment, but it’s even better than I expected. The engine character, how light it us, how the electronics work, the anti-wheelie…riding a MotoGP bike is an incredible experience. I also already know Jerez well and I’m not short of references. So it was a great pleasure for me to do some laps on Monday afternoon. We got down to work more the following day, to start finding a good feeling. Overall it went well so I’m pretty happy with the tests.” Source link
