by

Woo-hoo! Draft lottery day has arrived, and there will be a whole new level of hope for some playoff outlier by the time the second half of the Spurs-Grizzlies game begins. Do we know who is going to go No. 1? No we don’t. As mentioned here, Orlando and New Orleans are likely to trade the No. 1 pick if they win. But the way the ping-pong balls fly will change the landscape across the NBA, and could lead to a significant amount

He has been on four different teams in four seasons, and was picked up by the Boston Celtics this season to play a limited role for the team. If he’s in the

Tweet of the Day: Kenneth Faried

by

While Sunday played host to Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals in the NBA, the world of music was treated to hilarity. Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards—which netted their highest ratings in 12 years—R&B singer Miguel attempted to platform jump over a group of fans during a performance. Needless to say, his jump did not end well. Additionally, hip hop fans were given behind-the-scenes pictures of Drake on the set of a forthcoming music video for his song,
