8 Lady Delilah Briarwood Lady Briarwood served as the big bad evil guy in the first season of Legend of Vox Machina. At the same time, villains often feel very stale or lacking in motivation; this was nowhere near the case for the necromantic Delilah Briarwood. What made Lady Briarwood such a breath of fresh air was how much depth her character possessed. Instead of a typical villainous agenda, wanting to do bad things simply because they are bad, Lady Briarwoods horrendous actions were fueled by a desperate need to hold on to the man she loved....

As coach at St. Joseph High School, a private Catholic school in Westchester, west of the city, Pingatore became the winningest coach in Illinois high school history, going 1,103-383 in 50 years and, along the way, coaching future Basketball Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas and Wooden Award winner and NBA player Evan Turner. Thomas and Turner were among those in the basketball community who paid tribute to Pingatore. “I always told you, you saved my life,” Thomas said, in part, in a tweet early Thursday....

The Swede Bjorn Borg played amazing tennis almost every time he walked onto his favorite grass court. Borg began his Wimbledon journey as a 17-year-old in 1973. He reached the quarter finals in his first attempt. 1976: Borg won the championship without dropping a single set. He became the youngest champion aged 20 years and 1 month to win the championship (a record which was later broken in 1985 by Boris Becker)....

After signing for the Foxes from Schalke on a free transfer in the 2015 summer transfer window, Fuchs has been integral to the club’s dream run that has seen them top the Premier League table and extend their lead at the top to seven points with six games to go. A year ago, the Foxes were dead last and were staring relegation in the face. Now, Claudio Ranieri’s side look favourites to become only the sixth team to lift the Premier League title....

However, if there has been one thing severely lacking from Leicester’s performances for the most part of this season, it is fight. Players have been consistently slammed for showing a lack of effort in the Premier League, a characteristic which has seen them sucked into a relegation battle they do not look like winning. Real’s Mestalla curse gives Barca a boost In the Champions League, however, there have been signs of life from the English champions....

Claudio Ranieri’s men fell to another defeat on their travels at Bournemouth on Tuesday, Marc Pugh netting the winner, meaning the champions’ draw at Tottenham remains their only return after eight matches away from the King Power Stadium this term. Pugh fires Cherries past Foxes Incredibly, Leicester lost just two league away games in the whole of last season as they stunned more established title rivals. It is a different story this season, though, with the loss at Bournemouth following similar reverses at Hull City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Watford and Sunderland....

Stapley should know better. Earlier this year the chemical engineer from Loughborough University released what was billed as the definitive study on how to steep the perfect cup of tea. It’s an age-old question in a country where residents swill an average of three cups a day. The project’s sponsor, the Royal Society of Chemistry, commissioned the three-month study to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of writer George Orwell, a heavy tea drinker who set out his own views on tea-making in a 1946 essay....

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has been linked with Barca as Ernesto Valverde’s men prepare for the 2018-19 season. Rabiot rejected the chance to be on the reserve list for France, with Les Bleus going on to reach the World Cup final final without him. Nevertheless, Lenglet believes Rabiot would be a good fit for Barca, who were previously linked with his PSG team-mate Marco Verratti. “Of course,” Lenglet told reporters when asked if he wanted Barca to sign Rabiot....

To start with, we’re not really sure if we should classify it as an Ultrabook or as a hybrid. It can be used as a tablet, but its keyboard isn’t detachable – you can fold it back. So that makes it a little heavier to use as a tablet, but as a laptop, it sure is on the lighter side. Let’s get down to the tech specs first. The IdeaPad Yoga 11 sports an 11....

The four-time NBA MVP had a classic LeBron game; he posted a triple-double in the Cavaliers’ 124-91 rout of the Nuggets. The win, his team’s 50th in 70 games, clinched the Central Division title for Cleveland. MORE: Classic photos of LeBron | GREER: Chill out about this Twitter thing But instead of talk about James’ 41th career triple-double (33 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists), the Akron native is the talk of the NBA for unfollowing the Cavaliers’ official team account on Twitter....

Like, really close. Heading into Golden State’s matchup with Indiana on Monday, the Warriors star sits six 3-pointers away from tying Ray Allen on the leaderboard and seven from passing him. It’s no longer a matter of if, but when Curry becomes the all-time leader, and it’ll only strengthen his case as the greatest shooter in NBA history when he pushes Allen down to No. 2. Ahead of Curry adding another record to his resume, Lakers star LeBron James, who has had his fair share of battles against the two-time MVP over the years, spoke about his greatness, saying he’s been “phenomenal” his entire career and calling him a “once-in-a-lifetime” talent....

Two championships, two other NBA Finals appearances, two NBA MVPs. Then he wrote a letter.

I do now.” The reasons he decided to split and the way he did it don’t matter anymore, if they ever did. The four years he spent in Miami don’t matter much, either — not for this discussion, at least....

Davis was dealing with shoulder pain prior to the start of the Lakers’ 123-115 win over the Suns and had tape on his ribs by the end of the game at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Tuesday.

In case you didn’t know In his annual All-Star Weekend press conference, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver mentioned that in the hope of seeing the two best teams play in the NBA Finals, the league is considering seeding all Playoff teams 1 to 16, instead of the current Conference format. Heart of the matter After the All-Star Break, all teams returned back to practice on Wednesday. In a post-practice interaction with the media, James wasn’t too enthusiastic about the new format....

Even at age 35, in his 17th season in the NBA, it seemed inevitable that James would advance to the NBA Finals for the 10th time in his career and the ninth time in the last 10 seasons. He’s been doing this for so long, it just feels like it’s a given at this point. Of course, James reminded his teammates in his postgame interview that this kind of success is never given — it’s earned....

Yes, James surpassed Jordan as the top scorer in NBA postseason history.
