Mario Hezonja says that the toughest player to guard isn’t currently playing in the NBA (Is it Carmelo?)

ElsaNew York Knicks small forward Mario Hezonja has guarded some of the NBA's best players this season. Ben Simmons, Blake Griffin, Giannis Antetokounmpo, just to name a few. In other words, he's got firsthand experience, enough to form an opinion on who the toughest guy to defend is. According to Hezonja, the holder of that title is not even playing in the league right now.

On Wednesday, Super Mario tweeted out this opinion, and we cannot stress “opinion” enough, to his 12.1K followers (kind of low for a New York Knick, wouldn't you say?), igniting a fiery debate about who he could be talking about:

Since this is Twitter, we all had more than one guess. Though it didn't take long for everyone to agree on an answer, especially with the help of this exchange in Hezonja's replies:

Luke Donald’s wife filmed him leaving the mall—and boy, was he a happy camper

A bad back has kept Luke Donald away from the golf course for most of the past year. And while we feel for the former World No. 1 being sidelined from doing what he loves, our heart goes out to him even more for being forced to do something he hates instead. Shopping.

On Wednesday, while many of the game's best golfers were at Bay Hill preparing for this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, Donald was about three hours south at the Boca Raton Town Center. And his wife, Diane, took this funny video of Luke that makes his exit from the mall look like Andy Dufresne's prison escape in The Shawshank Redemption.

Poor guy. And a long day of shopping can't be good for the back, either.

Rory McIlroy uses Abraham Lincoln reference in press conference, remains the best quote in golf

David CannonIf we listed off (and linked to) all the times Rory McIlroy had delivered press-conference gold, we'd be here all day. As good as that would be for our website's traffic, we'll spare you the clicking back and forth.
Instead, we'll just praise the Northern Irishman for his latest and greatest quote, one that's already making the rounds on social media. On Wednesday, McIlroy met with the media at Bay Hill in Orlando, site of his 2018 Arnold Palmer Invitational victory, his only win last season and his only worldwide victory since the 2016 Tour Championship. Naturally, following a final-round 64 (birdies on five of his last six holes) that vaulted McIlroy past the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Henrik Stenson, Tiger Woods and Justin Rose, Rory was declared BACK. With Augusta looming, career Grand Slam talk got ramped all the way up to 11.
Of course, McIlroy had a prime chance to pull it off at the Masters, only to falter in the final round, something that..

The most insufferable announcer in pro sports was in PEAK form with this game-ending call

Let's start with this: Jack Edwards is an excellent play-by-play man. His passion for hockey is unmatched, and if you've ever listened to him call a game, it's obvious he knows his stuff. That being said, he is the biggest homer for the team he calls in all of professional sports.
Edwards is not alone. There are homers in every sport, on both radio and TV. One of the great homers ever is former Chicago White Sock and White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson, who produced some hilarious calls and catchphrases over the years. My New York Yankees have one of the all-time homers in history on the radio in John Sterling, who literally screams “THEEEEEE YANKEEESSSSSS….WIN!” after each Bronx Bombers victory. All the sports with local broadcasts, basketball, baseball and hockey, have homers left and right. But you cannot tell me anyone is worse than Edwards, as he displayed Tuesday night when the Bruins defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in OT:

They’re making a movie about Genie Bouchard dating that random Twitter guy, “love” puns sure to follow

Mike StobeOne can only wonder what first compelled tennis star and part-time swimsuit model Genie Bouchard to agree over Twitter to a date with a complete stranger a couple of years ago. Perhaps Bouchard was bored, or romantically adrift, or some combination of the two.
Or perhaps, in the deep recesses of her mind, Bouchard thought this one day might make for a great rom-com.
OK, probably not (please tell us not), but what we do know is that the story of Bouchard’s dalliance with random Twitter guy John Goehrke, who she dated after losing a Super Bowl bet in 2017, has been green-lit as a project by Fox 2000, according to Deadline Hollywood. Think of it as a cross between Notting Hill and . . . actually, we can’t think of any worthwhile tennis movies, but you get the idea. According to Deadline, “The film version centers on dating and love in the modern digital age, asking if a relationship born on social media can survive the glare of the public eye.”
The real life answer based on the ..

Have we reached peak Las Vegas with this new $100,000-a-night suite at the Palms?

Remember in The Hangover when Bradley Cooper convinced forced everyone's favorite bachelor party crew to spring for the fancy room at Caesar's Palace? That place was awesome. At least, until they wrecked it during a long night of shenanigans. It also only cost $4,200 a night. Why do we say only $4,200 a night? Because Las Vegas' newest hot spot goes for nearly 25 times(!) that.

After undergoing a $690 million renovation, The Palms Casino Resort now features a $100,000-a-night suite. Yep, that's $100,000. For one night. Actually, technically, you have to plunk down $200,000 because there's a two-night minimum stay. I'm not even sure Bradley Cooper has that kind of cash in real life.
As you can imagine, the Empathy Suite (Not the name we'd have picked for possibly the most gluttonous purchase in the world) is spectacular. According to KTNV Las Vegas, it is a 9,000-square-foot sky villa designed by world-famous ar..
