Suns forward Josh Jackson was at “The Malice at the Palace” when he was 8 (!), says he “threw a water bottle”
Allen Einstein'The Malice at the Palace' was one of the all-time “where were you when it happened?” moments not only in NBA history, but in sports history. As I recall, I was in my house watching the jaw-dropping replays of the fight on SportsCenter. I know, cool story bro.
Now, just imagine you were in attendance on the fateful night that Ron Artest went into the stands and started swinging? I think that would produce some vivid memories. Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson remembers it well, because he was in the building at the young age of EIGHT years old. File this story in the “feel old yet?” department.
Jackson, now 21 and in just his second year in the NBA, is penning a diary chronicling his sophomore season for “The Undefeated” with the help of one of the site's writers Marc J. Spears. In the third entry published on Wednesday, the recent fight between Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul came up in the first paragraph, with Jackson stating he hadn't seen anything like..

The Ultimate Buddies Trip
The golf “buddies trip” is a tradition as old as the game itself—a group of friends plan a trip to a golf destination where they will play more golf in a long weekend than they thought humanly possible, and pair it with great food, activities and camaraderie. The golf professionals at the American Club Resort in Kohler, Wis., are used to seeing buddies trips visit their facilities year-round, and they've recently created a service called “The Ultimate Buddies Trip that customizes these trips for the groups of men and women who come to Kohler for this specific purpose.
Kobe Bryant tells Jimmy Kimmel he’ll “think about” unretiring if the Lakers start 0-5 (he’s just kidding…we think)
On Monday night, following the L.A. Lakers third straight loss to open the season, the talk of social media revolved around Kobe Bryant, of all people. Why? Because newest Laker LeBron James missed two potential game-sealing free throws, something Kobe would NEVER do according to his lovable legion of lunatic fanboys, or “stans” as many on Twitter refer to them as (urban dictionary definition here).

Those same Kobe “stans” must have lit up like a Christmas tree when they saw Kobe was conveniently going to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” the next night. Among many other topics discussed, the Lakers 0-3 start to the season obviously came up, with Kimmel first asking if Bryant had seen any of the overtime thriller between his former team and the San Antonio Spurs. Bryant says he only caught the final eight minutes and all of overtime because he was coaching his daughter's basketball team. Wha..
Chicago bar to host wake for soon-to-be demolished Wrigleyville Taco Bell
Life is full of hardship and grief. Loss and devastation. Just ask Cubs fans. Partly because they went 108 years without winning a World Series and partly because now, just as the deep emotional wounds we're beginning to heal, the fates have struck the goat-fearing psycopaths of North Chicago (and their late-adopting army of bandwagoneers) another cruel blow: Wrigleyville's iconic Taco Bell—a beacon of light in many a dark night for Cubs fans—will be demolished next month to make way for some suspender-wearing mortgage developers' luxury condo development for people who grew up playing squash instead of baseball. Rest in Power, 1111 West Addison Street.

The field in the Asian Tour’s Panasonic Open India in New Delhi this week might redefine the word choking as we know it in golf.
Smog, rather than pressure with a back-nine lead on Sunday, is far more likely to the culprit in a region plagued by some of the worst air pollution in the world. It could have golfers choking on the front nine on Thursday.
In 2017, Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, called the city a “gas chamber,” and barring a stiff breeze the situation at Delhi Golf Club won’t be appreciably different.
An Agence France-Presse story on the city’s FirstPost news website previewing the tournament noted how bad the smog was for the Delhi half marathon on Sunday.
