Julius Randle fined $50K for dustup with Suns' Cam Johnson, 'hurt' about letting Knicks down with his ejection

  New York Knicks forward Julius Randle struck an apologetic tone at shootaround Sunday morning as his team prepares to take on the Los Angeles Clippers. Randle, who was ejected from New York's tough 115-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night, said he felt bad about letting his teammates down in a game that was certainly winnable for the Knicks. "It hurts not to win," Randle said. "I'm more upset I wasn't available for my team down the stretch. That's what hurt me more than anything. I apologize to the guys for it. It hurt I couldn't be there down the stretch." The altercation occurred with 2:30 left in the third quarter when Randle and Suns forward Cam Johnson got physical as Randle attempted to box out Johnson on a made Evan Fournier 3-point attempt. After the bucket, Randle beelined toward Johnson and chest-bumped him. A referee stepped in between the two players as they were exchanging words, but Randle then shoved the official's ha...

Suns' Cam Johnson buries Knicks with game-winning, 30-foot buzzer-beater to cap off career night

  Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson has been playing basketball for a long time, but it's hard to imagine he's had a better night on the hardwood than he did in Friday's nationally televised 115-114 win over the New York Knick Johnson scored a career-high 38 points, 21 of which came in the fourth quarter, and banked in a game-winning, 30-foot 3-pointer as time expired, much to the delight of the raucous Footprint Center crow Knicks guard Alec Burks had a chance to put the Knicks up by three points before Johnson's heroics, but missed the second free throw. Suns forward Mikal Bridges came up with the loose ball off the rebound and found Cameron Payne, who pushed the ball into the frontcourt before eventually delivering the game-winning assist to Johnso "Mikal came up with a big possession, and Cam Payne got it. Instead of running, I kind of curled behind and slowed down," Johnson said after the game. "He gave it right to me and I kind of had my mind mad...

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

  The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

  If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

Zion Williamson posts Instagram video of monster between-the-legs dunk while recovering from foot injury

  Zion Williamson's status has been one of the great mysteries of the 2021-22 season. When he was initially diagnosed with a fractured foot, he was expected to be available in time for the beginning of the season. And then he wasn't. The New Orleans Pelicans offered only vague and inconsistent updates. Williamson himself never spoke. And now, with the season coming to an end, it appears as though Williamson won't be returning to the floor at all. After missing most of his rookie year, his third season is on track to come and go without a minute of game time as well.  Where that leaves Williamson moving forward, we can't say, but for the first time in months, the Pelicans forward gave fans a morsel of optimism. On his Instagram story, he posted this video of him doing a monster between-the-legs dunk. Zion Williamson just posted this to his IG story:  (And if you’re wondering if it’s recent, he’s wearing his new Zion 2 shoe in it) As Andrew Lopez of ESPN notes, the video ...
