Jason Collins was an icon, not simply because of his ability on the court, but for his profound bravery off it.

It may have been the twilight of his career, but he became a north star for other athletes simply by continuing to play team basketball while being out in the open.
Collins’ family announced on Tuesday that he had died at home at the age of 47, taken far too soon by stage-4 glioblastoma, a relatively common, but aggressive form of brain cancer.

Few things have troubled Keyshawn Davis in professional boxing quite like Norfolk and Nahir Albright.
Davis and Albright rematch on Saturday at the Scope Arena in Davis’ hometown of Norfolk, Virginia, in the headliner of Top Rank’s first-ever card on DAZN. While a second meeting between the pair wasn’t sitting on any boxing fan’s wishlist, for Davis, it represents the perfect opportunity for a redemption story centered around his two biggest scandals.
On First Take, Stephen A.
