LeBron James clacked off an all-time absurd take about Michael Jordan and his dreams.
The Los Angeles Lakers star is known for playing pretty fast and loose with his claims, but this one is truly next level.
He tweeted Sunday that he regularly dreams about watching with Michael Jordan a UNC/Duke national title game that is tied at 94 with just five seconds left.
Then, before finding out who wins in this *VERY REAL* dream LeBron apparently often has, he has to wake up to use the bathroom.
“Never get to the end. Anyways felt real as hell,” the four-time NBA champion claimed.

Giannis showed us what stat-padding really looks like.
If you follow the NBA like an absolute sicko, you surely noticed the debate over stat-padding last week between ESPN commentators JJ Redick and Kendrick Perkins. Perkins accused Nikola Jokic of stat-padding as the Denver Nuggets big man inches closer to becoming the first player to win three straight MVP awards since Larry Bird. Redick strongly pushed back, and ESPN had something to argue about for a few days.

Future NFL starters — Utah’s Dalton Kincaid, Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer and Oregon State’s Luke Musgrave — will duke it out for this draft’s top tight end.

Derek Carr will have a new home next season in New Orleans, but how will he fit in their offense?
The first big domino in the offseason quarterback market appears ready to topple over.
While the league year is yet to officially begin, reports broke on Monday morning that the New Orleans Saints and quarterback Derek Carr are nearing an agreement to bring the veteran passer to the NFC South. As reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Saints “have emerged as the front runners” to sign Carr, and an agreement “could be reached as early as” Monday.

The UFC Hall of Famer will be leading the network’s coverage of WWE’s signature event from Los Angeles.
UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier has never been shy about his affinity for pro wrestling.
Currently working as an analyst for the UFC—Cormier did outstanding work on the broadcast Saturday during UFC 285—he will fuse his two passions next month during WWE’s signature event.
“I’m going to WrestleMania,” says Cormier. “The first week of April for ESPN, I’ll be leading the coverage for WrestleMania. I’m so excited about it.

The Falcons need to figure out their QB situation, their pass rush, their receivers and much more. Good thing they have money to spend.

If you thought the NFL’s script was bad, wait till you see the NASCAR one! At least that’s what poor Chase Elliott (probably) thought as he was breaking his leg into a million pieces while tumbling down a Colorado mountain.
Yeah … didn’t think we’d start there today, but that’s why you have to keep your head on a swivel in this sport.
We’ll get to NASCAR denying Chase’s request in just a bit.

Nice try, Giannis. But this “rebound” shouldn’t have counted.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best basketball players in the world and seems to be a really good human being, too, which is always nice. 
But what he did at the end of Sunday’s Bucks-Wizards game was a pretty lame, and the NBA should take action on it and strike the big man’s triple-double from the books. 
In case you missed it, Antetokounmpo was a rebound shy of getting a triple-double.

The Big Ten appears likely to have a heavy presence in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, according to Mike DeCourcy’s latest NCAA Tournament projections.

What the exclusive or non-exclusive tag could mean for the Ravens signal-caller. Plus, Bryce Young not working out at the combine opened the door for Anthony Richardson and C.J. Stroud and more in this week’s takeaways from the scouting combine.
You’ve heard it from me, by now—whether Baltimore puts the exclusive or nonexclusive tag on Lamar Jackson, which will determine Jackson’s availability, will certainly have an impact on the quarterback market. And so one more time, here’s the way the decision on which tag to use will shape Jackson’s immediate future.
