People can’t keep their hands off of Hollywood Casanova Pete Davidson.
Davidson, a huge Knicks fan, was in attendance at MSG on Sunday for New York’s Game 4 against Cleveland. His postgame meet-and-greet with fans went sideways when one eager fan got too handsy with Pete.

As Davidson flicked up with his fellow Knicks fans, the SNL alum was bothered by an eager fan that kept touching and trailing him.

The Warriors evened their first-round series against the Kings on Sunday after escaping with a 126–125 Game 4 win in a wild game at Chase Center. But, while Golden State can take joy in securing the crucial victory, an untimely, late-game blunder by Stephen Curry nearly led to a much different result.
With the Warriors up 126–121 with 47.1 seconds left in regulation, Curry attempted to bring the ball up the floor after a Kings miss before being met by a soft double team from forward Harrison Barnes and guard Davion Mitchell.

After lobbing some bulletin board material in the direction of LeBron James, Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks had a rough go of things during Saturday’s 111–101 loss to the Lakers in Game 3. He managed just seven points on 3-for-13 shooting in 19 minutes before getting ejected for hitting James in the groin, bringing a premature end to a forgettable night.
A day later, Brooks offered an interesting perspective on what contributed to him getting ejected, telling reporters on Sunday that the negative perception against him played a role in him being issued a flagrant 2 foul on Saturday.

We almost saw a goalie fight in Game 4 between the Bruins and Panthers when Linus Ullmark tried to throw down with Matthew Tkachuk. Here’s a full video replay of the chaotic scene.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer provided an update on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s status ahead of Monday’s Game 4 against the Heat as the star forward continues to recover from a lower back contusion.
Budenholzer told reporters on Sunday that Antetokounmpo, who has not played since suffering the injury early in Game 1, participated in individual work on the court at the Kaseya Center but remains without a timeline for a return. Milwaukee, the East’s No. 1 seed, currently trails No. 8 Miami, 2–1, after splitting the last two games without Antetokounmpo.

Being an umpire is hard. How do I know that? I umpire high school baseball in Connecticut. Am I looking for some praise or to be called a hero? Well, kinda. But more importantly, it serves as important context for the story of Jim Palmer crushing MLB umpire Vic Carapazza after ejecting Baltimore’s Ramón Urías.
Carapazza rang up Urías on a pitch that looked to be off-the-plate and then after Urías flung his helmet and batting gloves, Carapazza tossed him from the game.

Southampton director of football operations Matt Crocker will be hired as sporting director of the U.S. Soccer Federation, sources told ESPN.

Hold onto your Cheeseheads.
At first, it appeared that Aaron Rodgers to the Jets was a “done deal.” New York needed a QB; the Green Bay Packers were no longer invested in Rodgers; and the mushroom man himself wanted out of GB.
Then momentum halted as talks stalled for weeks. Reports stated that the Jets reportedly balked at the Green Bay Packers’ trade demands when it comes to trade compensation.

It’s been a true rollercoaster following the will they/won’t Aaron Rodgers saga.

Nick Saban one day could forget more national championships than most coaches have won.
He has won a college football record seven national championships, starting with one at LSU in the 2003 season at age 52. He has won six since coming to Alabama before the 2007 season. There was another one in his 50s in 2009 and five in his 60s in 2011, ’12, ’15, ’17 and ’20. He has also lost the national championship game three times in the 2016, ’18 and ’21 seasons, so he could have double figures.

Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks revealed what Lakers star LeBron James said to him ahead of Game 3 in their teams’ first-round playoff series. 
The pair was on the court during warmups at Crypto.com Arena when James approached Brooks for a brief chat on Saturday. Brooks appeared to be smiling at whatever James was saying before shaking his head and responding as the 38-year-old began to walk away.
On the heels of his ejection from Game 3, Brooks indicated on Sunday that James informed him of his birthday, via ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
“He just told me his birthday,” Brooks said.
