MORE: 13 players who have been NBA MVP more than once It all started when Cavs big man Tristan Thompson got tangled up with Raptors center Bismack Biyombo, who was clearly frustrated with a recent no-call on Thompson. When Biyombo’s teammate, DeMarre Carroll, tried to break them apart, he swung his arm into Thompson’s arm, which grazed the oncoming James in the face. James, perhaps thinking it was a possible punch, immediately backpedaled, dropped to the floor and slid nearly 10 feet from the initial contact....

Their responses, particularly those from Chris Bosh, have not always been flattering. James is aware of the answers. He told Cleveland.com that he heard “a lot of words " and “some of it was surprising.” MORE: Bosh to Love: Playing with LeBron ’extremely frustrating’ | LeBron selling $17 million home | Coach contracts Of course, the list of things said is a long one.

The Lakers forward has been in the spotlight since his high school days, famously earning Michael Jordan comparisons and appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a junior. Given his stature — both in terms of his physical size and what he means for the game of basketball — James hasn’t been able to enjoy certain elements of a normal lifestyle.

MORE: Top 25 NBA stars to switch teams in their prime The Cavaliers signed Chris “Birdman” Andersen to a one-year deal (expected to be for the veteran’s minimum) Friday, Cleveland.com reported. That means Andersen will be reunited with his Miami Heat championship buddy, LeBron James. The Cavaliers traded Sasha Kaun to the 76ers for Chukwudiebere Maduabum and cash considerations, which cleared up cap space for Andersen. Andersen, 38, averaged 4....

On Wednesday night, James posted three pictures on Instagram, which include a shot of him with Bryant’s jersey resting over his knee, a close-up of the NBA trophy and a montage of pictures of him and Bryant which featured James’ pledge from earlier this year to continue Bryant’s legacy. “Hope I’ve made you proud my brother!! Love and miss you Champ!!,” James wrote as a caption.

The NBA play-in tournament provides that stage when the Lakers and Warriors meet Wednesday at the Staples Center. It’s not the biggest stage James and Curry have faced off on — but it’s a captivating first for both superstars. Curry won the NBA scoring title for the second time in his career with 32.0 points per game this season. The Warriors won their last six games to make the play-in....

James later deleted the tweet, which was screen-captured and then reposted across the internet. James wrote in a follow-up tweet that he took down the original post because it was “being used to create more hate,” but he also wrote that he is “so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police.” Minutes before that post, he tweeted he felt “anger” over Bryant’s death. James’ “You’re next” declaration was a reference to Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted Tuesday of murder and manslaughter in the 2020 death of George Floyd....

On Saturday’s episode of College GameDay, Corso seemed to look a bit off his rocker. When it came his turn to pick a winner between Alabama and Ole Miss, he picked… Texas? Oops. Other fans were concerned when they saw Scooter pick Florida over Texas A&M, and follow it up with a Florida State chop. But not so fast, my friends. Corso played his college ball at FSU and earned both his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1957 and a master’s degree in administration and supervision in 1958....

They were among a four-way tie for the lead after the opening round of the Valspar Championship, a day so challenging that 3-under 68 was the highest score to lead after the first round in the 14-year history of this event. Pat Perez and Greg Chalmers also had 68s to share the lead. Every was the only one among the leaders to play in the morning, when the temperatures were in the mid-50s and felt even colder because of a strong wind....

It was all Billy Joe Saunders tonight. It’s as simple as that: Billy Joe dominated from the outset. It wasn’t even close. David Lemieux couldn’t land anything on Saunders all night: His daunting power was completely nullified. What’s next for Saunders? Seems like GGG is in his crosshairs. All times Eastern. Lemieux vs. Saunders results 12:12 a.m.: 120-108, 117-111 and 118-110. I mean, OK, but the decision was correct....

Fitzgerald said that there are no second acts in American lives. Now everyone lives in a series–no final curtain, just one episode after another. From Woody Allen to Mike Tyson, no one, it seems, ever really goes away after a scandal. They just carry on. And so will Albert, who got good news and bad news last week. A Virginia judge went easy on the sportscaster, suspending sentencing for a year....

At least that’s how critics of organic farming see it. Organic farmers are just skimming the cream. Agrochemicals, the argument goes, were an essential part of the “green revolution” of the 1950s and 1960s that made it possible for Third World countries like India to feed their fast-growing populations. But is this really true? No, say scientists at two Swiss agricultural research institutes. Their study, published recently in the journal Science, shows that organic farming may make more economic sense than conventional farming for medium and small farms....
