Despite pressures, LeBron 'focused on the job at hand'
However, what had made the fantastic flourish possible in the first place was not ethereal, but literally earthbound. There was James flicking away a pass by Stephen Curry, falling to the floor, doing a crab walk on hands and knees across the hardwood to control the ball and shovel it to Irving, all while gathering himself to get it back off the launch pad. Just the other day, with the Cavaliers staring up out of a 2-0 hole in The Finals, James had been asked if he needed to play "like a man..>> view originalAs FIFA Reels, UEFA's Euro 2016 Will Make More Money Than Ever

The most manic and condensed golf summer ever starts next week at historic Oakmont and here are some of the players we want the USGA to put together for the season's second major. The USGA has carved out a tradition at the U.S. Open of putting together some of the spiciest and more enjoyable, on paper, tee times and groupings of the golf season. They look for any kind of common thread or reason to put players together — surnames that rhyme, nationality, players with preexisting drama or past co..>> view originalRutgers 'secret order' fires at Jim Harbaugh, Harbaugh fires back

Mexico probably gave up more chances than they wanted to against Jamaica in their second Copa America Centenario Group C match on Thursday, but the fact that they were still able to come away with a 2-0 win and a quarterfinal berth is seen as a positive sign for El Tri. "It wasn’t the team's best game, but in front of adversity you have to know how to win," goalkeeper Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa told Univision after the match. "The team [Mexico] made some mistakes and lost the ball, which cost us on ..>> view originalMuhammad Ali Was Her First, and Greatest, Love
As Lonnie navigated adolescence, Ali was like another big brother to her, dispensing advice that included never getting romantically involved with athletes because they wouldn’t treat her well. “We were all enchanted with Muhammad,” Richardson said, “but as we got older, that enchantment turned into something deeper for Lonnie. I think Muhammad is probably the only man that Lonnie has ever loved.”At 17, Lonnie had an epiphany. “I knew I was going to marry Muhammad,” she said in the 2012 New Yor..>> view originalMets-Brewers preview
MILWAUKEE -- Curtis Granderson isn't off to the best of starts, but New York Mets manager Terry Collins has no plans to pull the veteran center fielder from his familiar spot atop the order.Granderson rewarded Collins' faith Thursday, picking up two hits -- including his fifth leadoff home run of the season -- and scoring twice in the Mets' 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park."I think he's our best option," Collins said.

CLEVELAND — Turns out, Stephen Curry has not entered some level of basketball infallibility. His unanimous MVP selection, the record 3-point total, the league scoring title, all those accolades while he was leading the Golden State Warriors to an NBA-record 73 regular-season wins may have made it seem like he was in some sort of permanent video-game mode. And then came the NBA Finals. The MVP is struggling, and what once looked like a Golden State stranglehold on a repeat title no longe..>> view originalSorry, Pittsburgh, but Martin Jones rained all over your parade
