During the closing moments of Game 1 at TD Garden, Bucks forward Khris Middleton drained buzzer-beating 3-pointer near halfcourt to send the game to overtime. And Johnson, who does broadcast work for FOX Sports Wisconsin, nearly suffered an emotional meltdown on the play.

Kobe Bryant Takes Shot At FOX News’ Laura Ingraham In Oscars Acceptance Speech
Kobe Bryant now has as many Academy Awards as Leonardo DiCaprio. Let that sink in. The Los Angeles Lakers legend took home the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film on Sunday for his film “Dear Basketball,” and Bryant used his acceptance speech to send a message to Laura Ingraham, the FOX News anchor who took a shot at LeBron James over his criticism of President Donald Trump. “I don’t’ know if it’s possible, I mean as basketball players we’re really supposed to shut up and dribble,” Bryant said, “but I’m glad we do a little bit more than that.” Another bucket for the Black Mamba.
