Before the Heat-Celtics game, Shaq said Miami would win by 10.
Barkley said let’s bet on it.
Shaq doubled the bet at halftime.
Cut to Shaq with wads of hundreds.
This is why Inside the NBA = 🐐
There are certain videos I periodically rewatch because they are so good. Jerry Seinfeld going off on Larry King for asking if "Seinfeld" got cancelled is one of them.
LeBron James - the best player in the NBA - OPENED AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL today for at risk kids. Negative always sells better than positive, but this should be the lead story on every single sports website, not only for what he did, but for the example he’s set for other athletes.
Jeopardy 'Greatest of All Time' viewership numbers:

This is tremendous television.

Shocking the ratings are down.
So if you push on one leg of a parlay, ESPN Bet voids the entire bet. Don’t know one other book that does this. You’d have to be insane to ever use ESPN Bet.
I asked the legendary Bill Raftery today if he's ever thought about joining Twitter. His outstanding response: “No, and I’ll tell you why -- because at 11:30 at night when I’ve had my 10th drink, I’m liable to say something that will cost me my job.”
This is pretty great.

, about to call Florida-Florida St., reacts to Alabama’s insane win over Auburn by beating up Chris Fowler in the booth.
It will be a complete and total disgrace if CBS/Turner and ESPN don’t work out some sort of deal this year to allow Dick Vitale to call an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in his career.
ESPN says Serena Williams' loss on Friday night was the most-watched tennis match in the history of the network with 4.8 million viewers. Previous high was 3.9 million for Roger Federer's Wimbledon win in 2012.
So
@WWERomanReigns
was nice enough to come on my podcast. I asked him about being 42 years old. He's 32 years old. So much awkwardness (begins at the 38-minute mark).
If the Lightning-Rangers series goes seven games, Game 7 is scheduled to be played at Madison Square Garden on June 14.
Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform at Madison Square Garden on June 14.
I enjoy anarchy like this.
It was 21 years ago today - May 6, 2001 - that HBO aired a show about “two assholes lost in the woods,” of Pine Barrens who survived on ketchup and relish packets.
Here’s Pat McAfee giving ESPN executives a heart attack by cursing on First Take and talking about people who were laid off before Molly Qerim tries to make the save.
The Oakland A’s gave Miguel Cabrera a $90 bottle of wine as a retirement gift. Not only are the A's cheap, but Miguel Cabrera is a recovering alcoholic.

It’s tragic that so many people don’t understand that during the Riley-Van Gundy-Ewing years, the Knicks we’re almost as popular as the Yankees in NY. They owned the city. Fans were in love w the team. The Garden was electric every night. So sad it’s all been destroyed.
Apologies for the really difficult question here, but for some unknown reason, Laura Ingraham is now totally OK with Drew Brees speaking out after she told LeBron to shut up and dribble. I just can't figure out why? What could possibly be the reason?
I don’t want to exaggerate or oversell this, but Pat Summerall narrating over “November Rain” = the single greatest opening to an NFL game ever. Holy hell this is awesome.
Listen, President Biden is going to speak soon, then Dave Chappelle hosts SNL w Foo Fighters and then we have a full day of NFL tomorrow.
But on Monday we really must spend the day discussing the Trump campaign booking Four Seasons Total Landscaping instead of Four Season Hotel.
FOX was supposed to air the canceled Holiday Bowl tonight. Would make sense for them to fill the timeslot now with the John Madden doc that aired on xmas day.
No matter what you feel about John McCain, it's fascinating to see how far this country has regressed when it comes to just basic human common decency in politics.
So many great nuggets from

on this week's SI MEDIA PODCAST, but the highlight was hearing him talk about his promo in which he compared John Cena to the missionary position and revealing that he is unscripted: TRAINA THOUGHTS
