The 2020 NFL Draft was supposed to be a testament to ignoring noise and focusing on tape. But these roster decisions show that was misguided.

Steph Curry explained the viral clip of LeBron James following him to the Warriors bench in the Game 1 matchup with the Lakers.

Jalen Brunson bounced back from a rocky start to finish with 30 points, making some crucial shots down the stretch, as the Knicks collected a series-tying 111-105 Game 2 win against the Heat on Tuesday night.

Aaron Rodgers is embracing his inner New Yorker. The newly traded quarterback is celebrating his first week with appearance after appearance at New York sporting events. Appearing for postseason action, from the Knicks to the Rangers, Rodgers is putting in hours at Madison Square Garden.
In attendance for Tuesday night’s Game 2 between the Knicks and Heat, Rodgers showed up sitting with a new teammate. Reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Sauce Gardner was also in attendance with Rodgers, sitting next to the four-time MVP and joining a load of celebrities at MSG.

Heading into the highly anticipated second-round matchup between the Lakers and Warriors, the hype centered around yet another postseason meeting between two all-time greats in LeBron James and Stephen Curry. When the final whistle sounded at Chase Center on Tuesday night, though, it was big man Anthony Davis who stole the show.
Davis erupted for 30 points and 23 rebounds—both game highs—to spearhead a 117–112 Los Angeles victory, stealing home court advantage from the defending champions.

Lakers nearly blew a 14-point lead in the 4th quarter but they did just enough to outlast the defending champs as a big night from Anthony Davis helped secure the win.

“He didn’t play well enough to be acting like that.

As expected, 76ers big man Joel Embiid was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player on Tuesday. And true to form, one of the most outspoken Twitter users in the league had the perfect social media response.
Embiid, who received 73 of 100 possible first-place votes, dug up a prediction he made from way back on Aug. 18, 2014—nearly two months after he was drafted No. 3 by Philadelphia and over two years before he would step foot on an NBA court. Even back then, the ever-confident center knew he was destined for great things.
