NASCAR acted quickly & erred on side of caution for obvious & tangible reasons. FBI conducted a thorough investigation that concluded it wasn’t a hate crime. Which should be a good thing.
Yet people on here dragging NASCAR, Bubba Wallace & media?
You’re telling on yourself.

Michael Jordan was arguably the best ever & got swept out of the first round… twice. You guys out here making fun of LeBron for dragging a lottery team (without him) to the Finals and getting swept by one of the most talented teams in #NBA history.
I mean, do you. I guess.

Kobe Bryant united LA unlike anyone... Whether rich or poor and regardless of race.
He had a specific connection to the Latino community. He once said, "They mean everything to me...'
Here's my monologue on that relationship between the Latino community and Kobe from #TheJump

Dwyane Wade is getting his jersey retired this weekend. Hard to encapsulate what he means to the @MiamiHEAT & the city of Miami.
Here's my best shot at it for @SportsCenter
It's simply titled: Thank you, Dwyane.

Btw: The biggest difference between LeBron and the guys who were challenging him for the top spot this season...
He’s willing to guard the opposing teams best player in the 4th Q.

Lakers survive with no LeBron, no true PG, against the best D in the league and down 10 in the 4th.
That’s a good win

Are people really debating that the Giannis block is better than LeBron’s?
Man, listen. Both were incredible. However, the stakes weren’t exactly the same. Let’s not be prisoners of the moment.

I think a cool way to honor Kobe & Gianna would be for the @NBA to have Team @KingJames & Team @Giannis_An34 all wear either 24 or 8 jersey’s at the All Star game.
Each team wears one of Kobe’s numbers.

If that is indeed the matchup and ratings are “bad,” it’s a failure of ours as a collective media covering the sport.
Part of the job should be to teach, educate and inform the audience. Tell the stories all season long. This way the audience is engaged.
The NBA does a lot of great things. Other sports do a better job of this particular thing.

I’ve been working in media for a long time now. I’ve never seen an athlete get covered like LeBron.
Dude can’t even have fun with his kids in peace. Let the man enjoy being a parent.
Not everything needs to be a hot take.
The End ✌🏼

Is KG really trying to say the NBA had an “agenda” and that’s why they lost to the Heat in 2012?
Man, stop.
Lebron roasted you in Gm 6 in your own building. Maybe, his best individual performance.
Then Bron, Wade, Bosh combined for 73 pts. They blew you out in 2nd half in Gm7
“We broke LeBron. So get your a** out of here with that.”
Watch to find out what exactly @KevinGarnett5KG is referencing. #BSPodcast

That game right there... THAT is the epitome of HEAT Culture.
Spo showed again why he's the best coach in the NBA. He made the adjustments and his undermanned team fought/executed.
Not some Code Red nonsense, where you question the integrity and the character of Hall of Fame coach

The Lakers have a Rondo problem.
They can’t hold a lead when he’s in.
There... I said it.
I know he’s had a great career and he’s arguably as smart a player that’s ever played the game. However, Father Time is undefeated.

I know it was 10 years ago, but there were literally stories that were written that Heat should trade Bosh as soon as 7 games into the Big 3’s first season.
There has never been a team that received more scrutiny from the media in the history of the NBA.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of being at ESPN. It’s been 6 fun years. Thankfully, now, a few more beyond that.
I work w/ a lot of ridiculously talented people. They make it fun to be part of the team.

With all due respect, you need a life.
Darvin Ham is a rookie coach that started 2-10, got a completely new roster w/ 23 games left in the regular season, and has his team in the WCF.
I’ve covered him all season. Guy works his a$$ off. He can take a moment to support the WNBA
Darvin Ham is having fun hanging out at WNBA game ahead of MUST WIN Game down 0-2.
We got bloggers all over this app working for free 14 hours a day, coming up with all the counters & adjustments.
Im supposed to believe that he’s a real NBA coach?

I don’t get why the Lakers don’t play with size? It’s their obvious inherent advantage, but they don’t utilize it enough.
I don’t get why Vanderbilt isn’t playing more at the 3 than Prince? Also, why Rui Hachimura isn’t playing more minutes nightly?

Man, I feel for this man. A young coach gets his first gig & a lot of stuff goes down that’s out of his control.
You could see early on in the season there was some good moments. Now he’s gotta deal w/ the wreckage.
I hope the Rockets get that.

Miami tied it, sent game to OT & closed the game on a 24-5 run
Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo both finish w/ triple-doubles. (3rd of season for Butler)

Wait, so the @Dodgers Joe Kelly gets suspended 8 games & Manager Dave Roberts gets a 1 game suspension....
Yet, the team w/ the one of the biggest cheating scadals in MLB history had ZERO players suspended for that situation. Gotcha.
Is this some sort of kangaroo court?

Separately, Chris Bosh not being a finalist is just mind boggling.
Numbers are there. He sacrificed as much as any player I’ve ever seen on a championship team.
He’ll clearly get it. Should have been now.

An update: After a battle of 5 months in ICU, my remaining friend that was hospitalized was told, they’ve done everything they can do for him.
Known him since I was 12 & a groomsman at my wedding. A cold reminder this is very real.
Please be safe. Tell people you love them.

It’s crazy to say this, but Anthony Davis is on a different level now that he’s playing with LeBron.
