Hours after his son declared for college, LeBron James let it be known again he would like Bronny to join him in the league.

LeBron James has enjoyed his fair share of playoff experiences, with 16 trips to the postseason during a storied 20-year NBA career.
But some of James’s Lakers teammates have far less postseason seasoning. For example, Austin Reaves and Mo Bamba are in the playoffs for the first time this season.
After Saturday’s Game 3 win over the Warriors, James was asked how his teammates can stay focused amid increased scrutiny during the playoffs, especially when additional days off means more time for the media to obsess over storylines.
“Stay off the TV.

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, passed away on Saturday. A funeral service for the 26-year-old will be held on Tuesday, May 9 at 1:00 p.m. at the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan.
Gilbert, who was known for his bowties, suffered from neurofibromatosis. The genetic disorder causes tumors to grow on nerve pathways throughout the body and does not have a known cure.
In addition to his incredible fashion sense, Gilbert was known to bring good luck to the Cavaliers as the team’s representative during NBA Draft lotteries.

Former WWE wrestler Sara Lee died by suicide in October.
Lee, who won Season 6 of WWE’s “Tough Enough” reality series, ingested a lethal combination of alcohol and pills. That’s according to Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office documents obtained by TMZ.
The coroner’s report said Lee left “letters of intent” at the scene. Officials suspect Lee suffered a fall just before her death. She was found with bruises and abrasions on her head and body.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel still seems to be holding a grudge against the Eagles after Philadelphia beat his team in this past season’s NFC championship game.
In a recent interview with Zion Olojede of Complex, Samuel expressed his “hatred” for the Eagles, and he went on to explain his belief that if the 49ers would have been healthy, they would’ve won.
Samuel was asked about fellow 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s comment about the 49ers being “hands down” the best team in the league last season despite their disappointing loss in Philadelphia.

It is the year 2023, and it is time to implement replay across the board, in all sports, on every level possible— especially lacrosse. Or, at the very least, it needs to be used during the postseason to avoid situations like what happened on Friday.
Princeton lacrosse advanced to the Ivy League Tournament final by one goal, but the margin of victory might have been greater if there was a chance to review a controversial shot during the second quarter. It didn’t end up factoring into the final result, but it raises a larger point.
Princeton lacrosse got out to an early lead.

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, died Saturday after a lifelong battle with neurofibromatosis. He was 26 years old.
Nick was the eldest of Dan Gilbert’s five children, and he became a good luck charm for the Cavaliers organization. He represented Cleveland during the 2011 draft lottery at age 14, when the team won the No. 1 pick that it would later use on Kyrie Irving. From then on, he would represent the Cavaliers several more times at the lottery. Cleveland won the No. 1 pick again in 2013.

East Carolina wide receiver Isaiah Winstead didn’t receive a phone call during this year’s NFL draft, so he decided to attempt another route of appealing to NFL teams.
Winstead posted a highlight video to Twitter on the night of April 30, a day after the draft ended. The brief clip, which lasts just over a minute, received over 20,000 likes and 3,000 retweets. By Tuesday, Winstead’s video had been viewed millions of times.

The writing was always on the wall, but Bronny James made his college commitment official on Saturday. LeBron James Jr. is staying home to play for USC.

Bronny James Announces Commitment to USC

Although Ohio State and Oregon were also reportedly in the mix, it seemed unlikely that the biggest name in college basketball would be headed to Columbus and a year in Eugene only made sense because of the Nike connection. Bronny and his father both have deals with Phil Knight’s brand.

J.J. Watt and Zach Ertz were Cardinals teammates for just a season and a half, but the two seem to be great friends. And with friendship comes accountability, even when it comes to throwing a baseball.
On Saturday night, Zach and Julie Ertz threw out the ceremonial first pitches at the Red Sox-Phillies game in Philadelphia. While Julie made a solid throw, Zach had some trouble. The Arizona tight end bounced his pitch in the dirt in front of the batter’s box.
Watt saw this and took to Twitter to playfully plead to the internet to take the video down.
