Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics will be spending their Christmas Day squaring off with the Washington Wizards at TD Garden, but the star point guard isn’t too broken up about working on the holiday because, well, he doesn’t view it as one. Irving, who made waves last season when he stated he believes the Earth is flat, was asked about his views on Christmas and what his plans were for Dec. 25 following the Celtics’ 102-93 loss to the New York Knicks on Thursday, and his answer was classic Irving. Here’s the video, courtesy of The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn: This undoubtedly will get a lot of social media traction, much like the

UEFA EURO reporter’s view: Hungary
Squad analysisHungary have changed little since the EURO qualifiers. Their strengths lie in the squad's unity and spirit – with no superstars around, competition for places is high and a sense of equality pervades the ranks. However, the lack of world-class talent is obviously a hindrance on the field, and though the side are consistently tight defensively, Hungary struggle to score goals and rely heavily on captain Balázs Dzsudzsák's set pieces.One to watchLászló Kleinheisler was plucked from the Hungarian third division last November to start the play-off first leg against Norway in Oslo, a game in which he struck a fairy-tale wi...
UEFA EURO reporter’s view: Northern Ireland
Squad analysisOff the pitch, Michael O'Neill has cultivated a special 'club spirit'. On it, he boasts experienced players in key areas, epitomised by captain Steven Davis and defenders Jonny Evans, Gareth McAuley and Craig Cathcart. Crucially, he is also getting the best out of the likes of Jamie Ward (Nottingham Forest), Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood Town), Oliver Norwood (Reading) and Stuart Dallas (Leeds United). His only question mark? The left side of defence after losing Chris Brunt to a serious knee injury in February.One to watchThe influential Davis and forward Kyle Lafferty, who scored seven goals in qualifying, are the obvious an...
UEFA EURO reporter’s view: Belgium
Squad analysisMissing out on injured captain Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Lombaerts – the favoured central defensive duo – leaves some puzzling for coach Marc Wilmots. If that issue is resolved satisfactorily, moments of magic from the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne, as well as Romelu Lukaku up front, could make Belgium a force to be reckoned with.One to watchAtlético Madrid's 22-year-old winger Yannick Carrasco has only racked up four caps since his debut in March last year, but Wilmots likes his speed and depth. Carrasco becoming the first Belgian to score in a UEFA Champions League final only increases his chances of ma...
Bob Knight Screams At Fans Blocking His View During Live Broadcast (Video)
If you’re not an avid fan of the American Athletic Conference, Thursday nights and ESPN2, you might wonder what Bob Knight is up to these days. The mercurial college basketball coaching legend continues to do analyst work for ESPN, but he’s been removed from the spotlight in recent years. Now, his work is pretty much limited to doing AAC games once a week, according to Yahoo! Sports. He was in Dallas on Thursday night for Temple vs. SMU, which was relatively unspectacular for the most part. That was, of course, until some bros decided to stand in front of Knight and block his view. The results, on live TV, were fantastic. Thu...
