When you get LeBron watching live sports, you can count on getting live tweets to accompany them. While watching Game 3 of the first-round series between the Heat and Hawks, James first commented on the acumen of color analyst JJ Redick before making a bold proclamation for the rest of his career: “I can/will NOT miss the post season again for my career!” James tweeted. “This s– HURT. Ok back to watching these games....

There is plenty of blame to go around in Los Angeles for what has become an ugly season, but despite all of the drama surrounding the franchise, the 2018-19 campaign wouldn’t feel like such a disaster if the Lakers were still on target to make the playoffs. There is one big reason why that’s not the case — the Lakers stink at beating bad teams. MORE: Clippers’ Ivica Zubac throws shade at Lakers...

While he entered uncharted waters on the minutes front, he also recently experienced something else that was new to him — time away from the court. James has missed eight games with back and knee injuries, a time he called “the most difficult thing I’ve been through,” according to Cleveland.com.

“Before competition for me would be like a chicken breast and maybe a little pasta. The carbs help because you’re going out and playing a lot of minutes,” James told Business Insider. “But a salad and some veggies will have me perfectly fine. And before the game I might have a protein shake and some fruit, and I’ll be ready to go. But as far as pies or pizza and sandwiches and french fries — I can’t....

James appeared in his 260th postseason game, moving him into first place on the all-time list for playoff appearances, surpassing Derek Fisher. Of the 4,489 players to have participated in an NBA regular-season contest, 63% have not reached 260 games. The sixth showdown at Walt Disney World Resort is also James’ 55th NBA Finals clash – tying Jerry West for fourth in league history as Bill Russell (70) tops the list....

James wore a heat pad when he was on the sidelines Thursday and stretched out the back, which has given him trouble for the past couple weeks, according to ESPN.com. Even with his physical issues, James is averaging 25.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 8.0 assists through six games. James did not suggest he could miss any games, ESPN pointed out. He is expected to play against the Boston Celtics on Saturday....

Since the Warriors set the NBA single-season record for wins, Las Vegas oddsmakers have made Golden State 2-to-1 favorites to win the Finals. Being the “underdog” is familiar territory for James, who is entering his seventh NBA Finals and his fifth as the supposed underdog. MORE: SN’s NBA Finals predictions Turns out James doesn’t care much about the label. James said being called an “underdog” isn’t his concern, which makes sense, but it’s interesting given his stance a season ago....

It was no small coincidence that James did not agree with the Heat’s decision to amnesty Miller during the height of the Heat’s title run. He sought Miller out when given the chance, and they will play together in Cleveland. This can be taken as an indication that James was unhappy with the decision to axe Miller, something Miller himself explained to the Northeast Ohio Media Group (Via the Sun Sentinel)....

James said he always wanted to square off against Kobe Bryant on the league’s biggest stage. There are probably a couple million NBA fans who would have loved to see it as well. MORE: Classic photos of Kobe Bryant | Tiger Woods hates watching Kobe struggle “I didn’t hold up my end of the bargain in 2009 for the fans, for us, to meet in the Finals,” James said, via ESPN....

Los Angeles will have max salary cap space in the offseason and multiple top-level players – including Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson – could be available. James told Bleacher Report he will “be as active” as he needs to be to help the team improve. “That’s why I came here. I came here to win. And obviously, we need to get better, as far as our personnel [goes],” he said....

James took to his Instagram page to reveal that he will wear No. 23 in the upcoming season. The reason James chose to return to No. 23, which he previously said should be retired league-wide, served as a nod to his former Miami Heat “family.” In the post, James said, “23 it is! It’s only right I go back. 2*3=6. We still family 6. #HomeTeam #StriveForGreatness” MILLSAP FILLS IN With Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge backing out of Team USA obligations, an interjection was needed at power forward....

Smith was with the Double-A Midland Cubs in 1978 when a home game at Christensen Stadium in Texas was postponed by tarantulas. A lot of tarantulas. “It was really strange, man. Randy Velarde’s dad was the grounds crew guy there and he mixed up some kind of different chemicals for the grass and for some reason the tarantula spiders enjoyed it,” Smith recalled. MORE: Revisiting SN’s all-1990s MLB team...

The Championship club, currently 12th in the English second tier, will play matches against an MNL All-Star Team and the Myanmar national team, which is ranked 135th in the world, in May. The move is a bizarre one, given that there is serious unrest in the country at present, with the UK foreign office advising against “all but essential travel” due to violent conflict in the region. Myanmar has been involved in “ethnic cleansing” of Rohingya Muslims throughout the last year, with estimates from Doctors Without Borders putting the death toll in the first month alone at 6,700 people, per Al Jazeera ....

But despite the potential to be a slam-dunk with voters in a critical election year, comprehensive proposals to legalize marijuana on the federal level have yet to gain significant traction in Congress’ current term. Eighteen states have already legalized the recreational use of marijuana, a number of them through voter-initiated referendums, while many more allow medicinal cannabis, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Only three states have no state cannabis program....

Once upon a time a great King by name of Vincent Kennedy McMahon ruled a giant kingdom called the WWE. He was known as “the genius king” for he always knew what his people known as the WWE Universe wanted. He had an army like none seen before. An army full of giants, monsters and champions. No one ever messed with the kingdom of WWE. Names like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant were synonymous of fear in hearts of the rival kingdoms....

India Capitals are comfortably sitting at the top of the table and have one foot in the Qualifiers because of their healthy run rate. They defeated Gujarat Giants convincingly in their last match and will hope to keep the momentum going against the Tigers. Manipal Tigers, on the other hand, secured their first win of the Legends League Cricket 2022, beating Bhilwara Kings by three runs. Jesse Ryder and Tatenda Taibu made significant contributions with the bat, while Dilhara Fernando picked up a four-wicket haul....

RELATED: 10 Best LEGO Games Ever Made (According To Metacritic) It’s not a perfect game, but re-enacting all the dino-infested set pieces from the movies is plenty of fun for Jurassic Park fans. Ultimately, Lego Jurassic World is a mixed bag, with both flaws and redeeming qualities. 10 Right: The Open World The hub in Lego Jurassic World is an open world in which players can get a helicopter onto Isla Nublar or Isla Sorna, or even take a boat to San Diego (because The Lost World’s third act takes a weird detour into Godzilla homage)....
