As Rittenhouse joined the panel on stage, the mainly young crowd at the Phoenix Convention Center began chanting “Kyle!...

Several prominent people have taken inspiration from the COVID-19 pandemic and used their costumes as an opportunity to pay tribute to healthcare workers, like Katherine Schwarzenegger. Others, meanwhile, like Kim Kardashian West, decided to capitalize off of everyone’s favorite early-quarantine binge-watch, Tiger King. While we’re likely to see even more costumes over the weekend (and maybe even more from the celebrities featured below), these are some of the best celebrity Halloween costumes of the year so far:...

Brooklyn announced that it had suspended Kyrie Irving for at least five games after he repeatedly failed to apologize for a social media post that included a link to a film featuring antisemitic messaging. The seven-time All-Star told reporters that he took responsibility for his tweet, but he stopped short of apologizing during his afternoon media availability. “We were dismayed today, when given an opportunity in a media session, that Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs, nor acknowledge specific hateful material in the film,” the statement said....

Images of the damage: SBNation also reports the Bruins’ soccer and athletics facility, Drake Stadium, is taking on water. Sporting News contributor Mark J. Burns tweeted that UCLA officials are meeting on the matter. The broken water main near the UCLA campus spewed water some 30 feet in the air, stranding cars and people in underground parking structures and covering parts of campus in ankle-deep water.

His strength, not merely showing up but actually doing his job as an assistant coach at his alma mater, was amazing. Earlier in the day, Carr heard devastating news: Rasual Butler, his lifelong best friend, had died in a car wreck in California, as had Butler’s wife, Leah LaBelle.

“I will not speak ill of a sitting president. I’m not going to do it,” President Donald Trump’s former defense secretary told CBS News in an interview set to air Sunday morning.

Tyson prefers to call it a “complex female subjectivity.” OK, she’s earned the right. She started out as a commercial-art student in London, then dropped out to dive into the rock-band/club scene. “I had some adventures.” she says with English understatement. By the time she re-entered art college five years later, in 1986, political activists had taken over the academy, and the most inspirational pictures (“for their attitude”) she could find were photographer Cindy Sherman’s mock movie stills....

Urena currently leads Major League soccer with five assists and has played a major role in LAFC’s strong start to the club’s first ever season. Despite not having scored a goal to this point, Urena has started all seven matches for the expansion side, which has picked up five wins in that span and currently sits second in the Western Conference. While the 28-year-old missing time in MLS play will be a hindrance to Bob Bradley’s side, his availability for Costa Rica at this summer’s World Cup is also very much in question....

I made my pro-boxing debut in October 1999. I love the sport, but I knew from the beginning that I wanted to box for only a limited period of time. I was hopeful that I could reach my goal of becoming a world champion in that time frame.

Of course, when talking about James the comparisons to Michael Jordan came up. Laimbeer’s Pistons had a strong rivalry against Jordan’s Bulls during his playing days, so there’s a bit of bias. Nevertheless, Laimbeer made some strong statements comparing the two NBA legends.
