Garrett EllwoodThis has been a tremendous season for LeBron James thus far. From celebrating Taco Tuesday with the enthusiasm of a toddler on Christmas morning to rejuvenating Dwight Howard's career (perhaps his greatest feat yet), LeBron has had quite the second half to his 2019, and last night summed up all the fun LeBron has been having to end the decade.
In a 25-point blowout win over his Western Conference foe Utah Jazz, LeBron not only got away with perhaps the travel of the year, but also with giving away his sneakers before the actual basketball game he was playing in even ended.

There was still at least 2 minutes of game time left when LeBron gave his shoes away, which is a gloriously disrespectful move that Utah will for sure remember the next time the two teams face off. The Jazz announcers didn't take the offense lightly complaining during the broadcast about his antics.

If there's anything Tiger Woods loves more than winning, it's some good old-fashioned needling. And when one of golf's younger stars is involved? Even better.
Justin Thomas became the latest (repeat) victim of a Woods jab during Wednesday's opening round of the Hero World Challenge. The soon-to-be 44-year-old Woods had just pumped his drive on the par-5 12th some 20 yards past the 26-year-old Thomas. And the reigning Masters champ took advantage of the opportunity to rub it in.

We're not sure if Woods gave the standard, “You could build a Walmart between those two drives” line, but the message was received.
Unfortunately for Tiger, though, Thomas got the last laugh on the scorecard. And if he really wants to get his elder back, he should ask Woods if he needs his reading glasses to see he got beat by three shots.
