2018 NBA All-Star Game score, highlights: Team LeBron squeaks past Team Stephen

Score Center

2018 NBA All-Star Game score, highlights: Team LeBron squeaks past Team Stephen The 2018 NBA All-Star Game is in the books. Featuring a new format, the game pitted Team LeBron against Team Stephen. The teams, as has been well documented, were picked playground style a few weeks ago by the two captains, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. The night got off to a bizarre start, with a lengthy sketch comedy routine featuring Kevin Hart and a number of other celebrities. Then, following the player introductions, it was time for the national anthems. And, well, the American rendition did not go so well. Not only was everyone on social media clowning Fergie for her ridiculous rendition, but so too were the players on the court, who could be seen laughing. But finally, the game got un...

Sports

These 5 cities could host NFL Draft in 2019, 2020 | Is New York or Philadelphia in the running? Remember when the NFL Draft was a staple of the spring calendar at Radio City Music Hall? Well, it isn't coming back anytime soon. The NFL put the draft in New York in 1965 and held it there until 2015, when scheduling conflicts at Radio City Music Hall prompted the league to leave the Big Apple entirely and go to Chicago in back-to-back years. Philadelphia hosted in 2017, Dallas will host in April and now there are five franchises who are finalists after submitting bids for hosting the 2019 and 2020 drafts. The NFL is considering Tennessee (the Titans play in Nashville), Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas and Cleveland/Canton, according to multiple reports. 2018 NFL mock draft: F

Nebraska's bench mob went bobsledding, imitated WWE wrestlers against Indiana By: Nina Mandell | February 21, 2018 9:09 am Follow @ninamandell College basketball’s best “bench mob” this season belongs to Nebraska and in their win against Indiana on Tuesday, they did not disappoint.
