MSU student John Hao, who is one of the five injured survivors from last week’s MSU on-campus shooting and is now paralyzed from the chest down, received a special call this week from his favorite NBA player...76ers star James Harden. What a touching moment.

Why LeBron will never be greater than the GOAT, Michael Jordan. Can someone PLEASE make these two videos make sense. AFTER A SUPERB first half, he does THIS in the second half??? In an elimination game? Where’s the aggressiveness!? Where’s the urgency?
