LeBron Saves Cavs
AP
LeBron James capped off a weekend of NBA buzzer-beaters with one of his own, lifting Cleveland to a two-point victory over Chicago and tying the best-of-seven series at 2-2. This comes after Derrick Rose's game-winning three pointer on Friday and Paul Pierce's buzzer-beater on Saturday. Though LeBron's shot didn't come with internet memes like Rose's or an epic post-game quote like Pierce's, it did come with plenty of criticism directed at David Blatt after the Cavs coach. He tried to call a timeout the team didn't have then saw his last-second play call overruled by LeBron. Luckily for Blatt, the refs missed the timeout, the Cavs won and the internet went ballistic over LeBron's clutch shot, especially Odell Beckham Jr.
In other news, The Clippers took a 3-1 lead over the Rockets, who (much to the chagrin of James Harden) went all-in on the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy (with the role of Shaq played by DeAndre Jordan) ... Matt Barnes really dislikes Dwight Howard. So does this Lakers fan. I'm guessing this play had something to do with it ... The Hawks started a petition to ban game-winning bank shots ... Kanye West performed All Day during a break in the Bulls-Cavs game. Later in the game, he spoke with Scottie Pippen and gave the internet world a funny GIF ...Derrick Rose's young son was the star of the postgame press conference ... Most importantly, the LeBron James kid is back!
Speaking of LeBron
Josett LaTrice, better known as the girl who's perfect booty made LeBron James quit his social media ban, is now considering dropping out of veterinary school to pursue a career in modeling. She considers LeBron liking her Instagram photo a "sign from God" that she should become a model. Also of note: The Perfect Booties Instagram account (which has 1.1 million followers) makes women pay to have their pictures uploaded.
Derrick Coleman Gets His Degree
Derrick Coleman, 47, provided perhaps the best Mother's Day gift of anyone when he gave his mom a framed diploma from Syracuse. The former NBA star, known more for what he could have been than what he actually achieved on the court, had been taking online classes in secret. The video is just tremendous. In other "athletes going back to school" news, Panthers QB Cam Newton received his diploma from Auburn.
