ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith was not thrilled about LeBron James’s shot selection in key moments of the fourth quarter in the Lakers’ 108–103 loss to the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday.
While James finished one rebound shy of a triple-double—registering 22 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds—the Lakers star went 0-for-6 from beyond the arc while the Nuggets used a stunning fourth quarter performance from Jamal Murray to take a commanding 2–0 lead in the best-of-seven-series.

The sports world is paying its respects to the late, great Jim Brown, widely regarded as one of, if not the best to ever step on a football field. One athlete who had immense respect for Brown, and even knew him personally, is fellow NFL great Eddie George.
George appeared on OutKick Hot Mic and told hosts Jonathan Hutton and Chad Withrow that he’d describe Jim Brown as “Superman.”
I can recall my father always talking about the great Jim Brown,” George said. “And he would always refer to him as the greatest he’s ever seen.
A memorable moment of respect from Lakers star LeBron James from back in 2015 went viral after the death of NFL legend Jim Brown on Friday.
Prior to tip-off of the Cleveland’s victory over the Warriors in Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals, James put his hands together and bowed in the direction of Jim Brown, who was sitting courtside. Given that the clip showed arguably one of three greatest basketball players ever paying homage to one of football’s greatest running backs, the moment became one of the lasting images from that year’s NBA season.

The PGA Championship week continues to weigh heavy on Young as he had to take a 2-stroke penalty during his second round.
Cameron Young’s tough luck at Oak Hill Country Club continues as he received a two-stroke penalty during his second round at the PGA Championship. After signing for a 4-over 74 on Day 1 of the event, Oak Hill gripped even tighter on him.
During his second round, he was on the par-4 16th hole with a 59-foot birdie putt — he hit it short, and that is when the simple mistake happened.
NFL pioneer Jim Brown died at the age of 87 in his Los Angeles home Thursday night. The former Browns running back “passed peacefully,” according to his wife, Monique Brown.
Considered the greatest running back in league history, Brown spent his entire nine-year career in Cleveland, picking up MVP awards, Pro Bowl selections and the team’s lone championship in 1964.
Over the decades, Sports Illustrated has captured Brown’s career and impact—his playing days, acting and activism, and controversial personal life. Below is some of the best from the pages of SI.
Mike Bohn, the USC athletic director, has resigned from his position, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
Bohn, who became the Trojans athletic director in November 2019 after former AD Lynn Swann resigned, wrote in a statement to the Times saying that it was the “right time” for him to step away as USC’s athletic director “after more than 40 years of college athletics leadership.”
“I have dedicated my life to serving student-athletes and advancing the enterprise of intercollegiate athletics,” Bohn wrote in the statement.
Jim Brown, one of the greatest professional and college football players of all time, “passed peacefully” in his Los Angeles home on Thursday night.
Here’s a look at six players who helped themselves the most at the NBA Draft Combine and could hear their named called sooner than previously projected on June 22.
On Friday, Jim Brown’s wife announced that the legendary running back has died at the age of 87. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was one of the all-time great running backs, winning multiple MVPs and leading the league in rushing in eight of his nine NFL seasons.
As a result, many fans, analysts and organizations began to mourn the loss of such an important player in football, and American history.
NFL officials left the March owners’ meetings in Arizona with the idea that a new rule governing kickoffs would be rubber-stamped in late May in Minnesota. They’ll end up there next week with a lot more to think about than they bargained for.
According to several sources, strong opposition to the rule change has coalesced among special teams coaches and players over the last week, bonding them to form an organized effort to kill the proposal.
