The Milwaukee Bucks took a 2-1 Eastern Conference finals series lead over the Atlanta Hawks but not without some drama. Hawks’ Trae Young got hurt on a fluke play. Late in the third quarter of the game, Young was breaking to go back on defense. As he stepped back, his right ankle landed on referee Sean Wright’s foot. Young twisted his right ankle in the process and had to head to the locker room.

Young returned the game with 8:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, but only attempted one more three pointer for the rest of the game. Hawks coach Nate McMillan spoke about Young’s injury after the game: “I don’t know right now. I think, when he returned to the floor, he was obviously limping on that, and when I subbed him, we decided just keep him out.” With the Hawks down in the series...

Damian Lillard has been the face of the Portland Trailblazers for the last eight years and a chance of scenery might be in his future. Lillard has become frustrated with the Blazers over their coaching search and inability to build a championship-level roster, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports. Lillard’s current stance with the franchise is so bad right now, he is considering asking for a trade. The Blazers have hired Chauncey Billups as their next head coach. According to Haynes, Lillard is frustrated with the backlash he has received on social media from fans who think he played a role in Portland’s decision to go with Billups. Lillard was personally the victim of the team’s hiring blunder when fans attacked him on Twitter this week regarding Billups’ past sexual assault allegation. Really? I was asked what coaches I like of the names I “heard” and I named them. Sorry I wasn’t aware of their history I didn’t read the news when I was 7/8yrs old. I don’t suppor...

On this date in 1988, Public Enemy released their second LP It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back following up their debut album, which was released just a little over a year earlier. The album, which was released by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin’s Def Jam Recordings, was recorded primarily in the legendary Chung King Studios, while other sessions included Greene St. and Sabella Studios in NYC.

The Los Angeles Clippers are currently down 3-1 in the NBA Western Conference Finals. With Game 5 being a possible conclusion to their season, head coach Ty Lue is not showing fear heading into the game. “Just got to take it one game at a time,” Lue said. “Just focus on Monday’s game, that’s it. Not focus on winning three games. Got to take it one game at a time, and that’s got to be our mindset. We beat Utah and won four games in a row. So it’s very doable. We’ve just got to make sure we’re locked in and understand what we’re doing offensively. I think we’ve got to be more locked in offensively to beat this team.” The Clippers will once again suit up for the game without Kawhi Leonard who is still out with an unspecified knee injury. In his absence, Paul George is attempting to step up for the team, however, free throws have been a bug for him. “We’re definitely hopeful,” George said. “Definitely positive. I mean, this series could be very different with a handful of plays that we...

Just last week, Kanye West and his Yeezy brand filed a complaint against Walmart as they found bootleg Adidas Yeezy Foam Runners being sold on Walmart's platform . Kanye's Yeezys have been faked in the past and he has always made sure to protect his intellectual property, especially since it is his designs that have turned him into a billionaire. The Foam Runner is a shoe that is easy to fake and  while the Walmart listing wasn't surprising, it was still troubling. In the end, Walmart apologized for the error, noting that the shoes were sold by third-party listers. According to TMZ, since that time, Walmart has taken the shoe down and they have even cracked down on those who are selling bootlegs. Unfortunately for Kanye, it isn't just Walmart sellers who are the culprit. Image via Walmart TMZ has found that there are dozens of fakes being sold on websites like Etsy, where the shoes go for much cheaper than the usual $75 USD price point. The bootlegs seems pretty con...
