They really couldn’t find some LeBrons in their closet?
LeBron James’ mission to set the NBA’s all-time scoring mark was 20 years in the making, and it finally happened on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder beat the Lakers, 133-130, but no one is going to remember that. Instead, the night was a celebration of James’ legendary career. He broke the record on a picture-perfect fadeaway late in the third quarter, and the game was immediately paused to recognize the moment.
There is not a shot clock in Oklahoma high school basketball games, and two schools took full advantage of the idiotic omission on Tuesday night.
The battle between Anadarko and Weatherford turned into an absolute classic, but for all the wrong reasons.

Weatherford was the first team to score on Tuesday night, and its 2-0 advantage held all the way up until halftime. Anadarko simply held the ball up until halftime.
Yes, the score at halftime was 2-0. In a basketball game.
There are numerous stories around the Super Bowl about perseverance and achieving life long dreams. For Kansas City RG Trey Smith, he has gone from overcoming the odds at Tennessee, to working Super Bowl LIV, and now playing for an opportunity to win his first ring.
For Smith, his time playing at Tennessee was filled with a few road blocks on his path to playing in the NFL. These road blocks had nothing to do with his play on the field, it stemmed from blood clots that were found during winter workouts in 2018.
This is a must-watch moment.
LeBron James breaking the NBA scoring record with the Lakers on Tuesday night had a more profound reach that anyone possibly imagined. It turned into a moment of healing between two Lakers legends, as Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar squashed their long-standing beef.

Spread, over/under and prop bets for Wednesday’s 76ers-Celtics game in Boston. The Celtics are favored at home.
The 76ers last faced the Celtics in the season opener back in October.
Boston upheld its status as defending Eastern Conference champions with a 126-117 win that night, and now the two teams meet again many months later with just a handful of games separating them in standings.
This is the second of four meetings this year between the top-seeded Celtics and third-place 76ers, who have been on a tear for much of the last month.
The Eagles backup running back has been used more in the postseason, so he could be a nice value in the Big Game.
Looking to place a prop bet on an Eagles running back in Super Bowl LVII? Why not look at Kenneth Gainwell, whose market is showing early value at SI Sportsbook.
Gainwell led the Eagles in the NFC championship game in rushing attempts (14) and rushing yards (48), and he also broke off the longest run for Philadelphia (17). In the divisional matchup vs. the Giants, Gainwell had 12 carries for 112 yards and broke off a 35-yard run. With his rushing prop set at only 19.5 vs.
The Jackson State-Arkansas Pine-Bluff men’s college basketball game got WILD late Monday night.
Oh, you weren’t glued in on that showdown? First off, shame on you, because you missed mayhem in the stands between players, fans and perhaps members of JSU’s football team.
Then, you missed chaos on the court when a cheerleader got a little handsy in overtime.
See, this is why you can’t miss a second of SWAC basketball action!
Going in order, the first on-court disruption came with three minutes left in overtime. Yeah, you had to wait a while to get here, but the payoff was worth it.
Eric Stonestreet is an actor on Modern Family, an Emmy winner and a Kansas City, Kan., native. He’s also big into sports, whether driving the pace car at NASCAR races or rooting for his beloved Chiefs. And while he’s wary of overstating his connections with Kansas City’s front office, he has forged a unique relationship with GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid.
With the Chiefs heading back to a third Super Bowl in four years, Stonestreet shared his insights on his favorite team.
His answer will surprise most Kansas City fans.
Following the Chiefs’ win over the Bengals in the AFC championship, fans might think of tight end Travis Kelce or quarterback Patrick Mahomes as being the biggest trash talkers on the team.
Those two players clapped back at Bengals players, and even Cincinnati mayor Aftab Pureval, who had smack talked them before the game, calling Arrowhead “Burrowhead.” Kelce promptly replied by saying “Burrowhead, my a–!” after the game.
