Did James Harden take that last shot just so he wouldn't finish 2-for-11 again?

(He was 2-for-12.)

banda's nwsl career ain't even 200 minutes old and she already has two goals, two assists, and one penalty drawn

Three playoff teams at the Crypt and tonight might be the last postseason game.

Second straight penalty kill that got ruined one second later. UGGHHH

Kiki Rice, Lauren Betts, Charlisse Leger-Walker and Timea Gardiner vs. JuJu Watkins, Kiki Iriafen, Rayah Marshall and Talia von Oelhoffen. It's like a Pac-12 All-Star game 😆 and it'll be incredible (Big Ten) basketball

This picture is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It literally is like a 30 rock cutaway gag. 'Liz Lemon, I haven't been this angry since Ben Stiller and I got kicked out of Madison Square Garden for trying to fight Tyrese Maxey!'

Incredibly cool that LeBron James would blurb this.

The country of Colombia picked the funniest possible time to do this

So now the NYPD is threatening student journalists and the Dean of Columbia Journalism school?! In case there is any confusion, student journalists have the same protections under the First Amendment as professional journalists. This is completely unacceptable! #JournalismIsNotACrime

Tyrese Maxey is so good. Jalen Brunson is so good.

Great listen, but worth noting that the Wolves did not complete the first sweep in Minnesota sports history. The Lynx have done it 10 times, including five times in 5-game series.

Very curious about East playoff schedule if Pacers advance. If they follow usual pattern of last several years, Pacers would have a home Game 6 on May 16 ... a date which is scheduled to be Caitlin Clark's first regular season home game for the Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

In the midst of her seventh WNBA training camp, Kelsey Plum is trying to make things easier for the new generation of players going through their first.

I went to Plum's Dawg Class to learn how Plum is facilitating the transition from college to the pros. theathletic.com/5458929/2024/0…
