Despite much talk of significant roster changes, it seems that the Lakers’ ‘Big 3’ of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook have agreed to try and make it work, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes. Per Haynes, the Lakers players reaffirmed their commitment to one another over a phone call during the first week of the Las Vegas Summer League, with the belief that they still resemble something of a championship core....
With the game in the balance, and the Mavs looking to make a fourth-quarter run following a Luka Doncic triple that saw the score at just 99-93 in the Suns’ favor with just over eight minutes left in the final period, Chris Paul went atomic from that point on, spearheading a 23-2 run that blew the game wide open. Paul scored or assisted on the Phoenix’s first 19 points of the final term before finishing with 28 points (11-of-16 from the field), six rebounds and eight assists....
It’s been more than four long months, but the 2016-17 NBA regular season is finally upon us, and nobody is more prepared than LeBron James. James’ biggest deterrents from reaching a seventh-straight Finals could come from his team’s opening night opponent—the Knicks. New York secured the services of Derrick Rose, another former MVP, a defensive stopper in Joakim Noah and former lottery pick point guard Brandon Jennings to go along with Carmelo Anthony and second-year phenom Kristaps Porzingis....

Wednesday marked four weeks since the NBA halted the season on March 11 after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert became the first player to test positive for coronavirus. While league commissioner Adam Silver said last month all options were on the table as far as the NBA resuming operations was concerned, James suggested the prospect of not completing the season would be difficult to digest from a personal standpoint....
As James went up for the layup, he stepped on Derrick Rose’s foot, rolling his ankle in the process. LeBron was on the court writhing in pain for a few moments before getting up and off the court on his own power. After a brief respite, James returned to the game. The Cavaliers could ill afford to lose another player, let alone James. Kevin Love is out for the remainder of the playoffs due to a shoulder injury, and Kyrie Irving is playing despite a foot injury causing him much pain....
LeBron James threw down a monster alley-oop but went back down the court gingerly. Needless to say, the Cavaliers, already missing Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, can’t sustain another injury.

James helped build the anticipation earlier in the week when he said it would be “awesome” to play with Davis, who is rumored to be a Lakers trade target. James’ statement was met with cries of “Tampering!” from a handful of NBA general managers, but the league said James didn’t break any rules. After Friday’s game, James “tampered” some more, with other players, as he answered a question about his Davis comments....
This year it seemed that, finally, Hafez Assad’s time had come. As the clock ticked over into the new millennium, the gaunt, wily Arab leader looked ready to reap the rewards of his inexhaustible patience. At long last, the Israelis withdrew from southern Lebanon–after years of futilely fighting the Syrian-backed Hizbullah guerrillas–and seemed ready to give him the Golan. Assad had all but established his Western-educated son, Bashar, as his successor....
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced in a tweet on Thursday that marijuana sales would begin in the state on April 21.

Premier League champions in 2015-16, the Foxes have struggled to build on the form that delivered them the title, finishing 12th and ninth in the subsequent two years.

The Nigeria international played in the position for the King Power Stadium outfit against Southampton in their last English Premier League outing before he was replaced in the second half. The French tactician has previously tried Riyad Mahrez and Demarai Gray in the spot but they were returned to the natural positiions on the flanks.

In London, try the Serpentine Lido, a roped-off patch of the artificial lake in the center of Hyde Park. The water looks a tad murky, but the views of the skyline, including the Houses of Parliament, compensate. Berlin’s suburbs are dotted with lakes. A local favorite: Heiliger See–or Holy Lake–in Potsdam, fed by cool springs. Swimmers can ogle the neoclassical palaces of Prussian kings, as well as the lakeside homes of today’s superrich....
Don’t cry any tears for your local banker. Profits are still rolling in; bank earnings set another record in the first quarter of 1993, and many securities analysts expect even better reports in the year ahead. But a close look at banks’ income statements gives cause for caution. The banks have not turned around their fundamental long-term problem-their increasing irrelevance to American companies and consumers. Almost all the earnings gains come from cutting costs and putting less money aside to cover bad loans, not from building the business....
