Worst All-Star Weekend EVER!? NBA, TNT, LeBron & Kevin Hart TORCHED by KOC!
Kevin O'Connor spared no one from a total evisceration of the NBA All-Star Weekend, especially the new Sunday night game format. Why did TNT make the night more about themselves than the players? How did Commissioner Adam Silver allow an All-Star Weekend in San Francisco without Steph Curry in the 3-point contest? How is Kevin supposed to be excited about a "G-Leaguer" that "only uses props" in the Slam Dunk contest? KOC loves LeBron but says he's to blame as well for pulling out of the All-Star Game last-minute! EVERYTHING All-Star is a mess according to Kevin and Dan Titus. The guys also break down the several weird sound bytes from Draymond Green, including he and Jimmy Butler both being "alpha" personalities, Dray's prediction that the Warriors will win the title THIS season, and Green allegedly "turning down" the Warriors' Head Coaching position in the future once Steve Kerr retires.

Warriors Facing Potential $30 Million Decision in Offseason
Warriors Facing Potential $30 Million Decision in Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Steph Curry's injury might just turn out to be some form of blessing in disguise for the Golden State Warriors. Advertisement The former back-to-back Most Valuable Player winner suffered a hamstring injury in Game 1 of the Warriors' second-round NBA playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which ultimately cost him the rest of the series. The Warriors struggled mightily without Curry, eventually falling to Minnesota, 4-1, and it just emphasized the need to get this man some help. The result of losing their best player in the Wolves series might just force the Warriors' hand to make a big move in the offseason. They already swung for the fences with the Jimmy Butler deal, and it appears it still wasn't enough. Curry's injury, along with the fact that he has just a few more prime years remaining, could serve as enough motivation for the Warriors to go all out this summer. One player that has already been linked to Golden State is Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner, who is competing for a championship in the NBA Finals. The 6-foot-11 center is entering free agency this summer, where he is expected to be one of the most coveted players on the market. Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (33) controls the rebound against New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (3). Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images A new report from NBA insider Jake Fischer has indicated the Pacers remain in the driver's seat in terms of re-signing Turner in free agency. The report also indicated the 29-year-old is expected to bag a massive deal in the offseason. Advertisement "There is a strong sentiment among various league executives that Turner will re-sign with Indiana," Fischer reported. "Cap strategists are projecting his salary to land in the $30 million range in terms of average annual value." In 72 regular-season games with the Pacers, Turner averaged 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. During Indiana's postseason run, Turner is scoring 15.2 points, pulling down 5.1 rebounds and blocking 2.2 shots. Given their salary cap situation, the Warriors won't be able to compete with other teams in free agency. They could, however, still acquire his services via a potential sign-and-trade deal. With the Pacers seemingly determined to retain Turner, the only way he ends up with the Warriors is if Turner is unable to agree to terms with his current team. This could open a window of opportunity for Golden State, but this will force them to make a big decision on whether or not they are willing to give Turner the money he wants. Advertisement The Warriors will also need to let go of some major assets — potentially Jonathan Kuminga and draft capital — in order to lure Turner away from Indiana. On top of that, Golden State also will need to perform significant cap-space maneuvering in order to accommodate Turner's potential $30 million contract. There's no denying that it's going to be a risky move for the Warriors, but considering what Turner brings to the table on both ends of the floor, it could be the type of make-or-break decision Golden State needs to make to contend for a championship in 2026 and beyond.

Victims of Chaotic Crowd Stampede at Dallas Cheer Competition File Lawsuit
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lawyers representing hundreds of people who were injured during a chaotic crowd stampede at a March cheerleading competition in Dallas have sued the organizer, Varsity Spirit, and facility management saying they failed to provide proper security at the event. In their court filing, the attorneys say those failures led to parents and children being trampled and suffering broken bones, concussions, brain bleeds, and other physical injuries when participants and attendees went running from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, following reports of gunshots being fired. Many others, including children, continue to suffer from the emotional trauma they endured. 'This wasn't a little something. This was mass chaos,' said Ashlea Schwarz of Paul LLP in Kansas City, Mo., who represents the victims. 'You had parents separated from their kids for hours. You had a facility that had no plan for reunification in place. People had no idea where they would go to find their children.' Video of attorney Ashlea Schwarz and victim Rachel Meyer 'It was pure chaos,' said Rachel Meyer of St. Louis, who attended the event along with her 9-year-old daughter. 'Nobody knew what was happening. Everybody was screaming, looking every way. There were people pushing other people. And the pure panic in everybody's voices – that's something I'll never forget.' Records show there were approximately 25,000 participants – most under the age of 18 – who attended the 2025 National Cheerleaders Association All-Star National Championship event, from Feb. 28 to March 2. An estimated 38,000 spectators attended. Police and event officials have said the crowd crush was ignited by the sound of metal poles crashing to the concrete floor of the convention center following a fight between two parents. 'It really doesn't matter what started the panic,' said Charla Aldous of Dallas-based Aldous Law. 'What matters is the chaos and crowd crush happened because Varsity and the convention center were not prepared. And that resulted in the injuries these people suffered.' The lawsuit details injuries suffered by attendees from Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. They include a woman knocked unconscious during the stampede who suffered a series of brain bleeds; a mother who was slammed face-first into the concrete and was so severely hurt that her young daughter thought her mom had been fatally shot; and an event participant suffering from a concussion who sheltered alone under tractor-trailers outside the convention center. Varsity Brands is the parent company of Varsity Spirit, and is headquartered in Farmers Branch, Texas. The lawsuit is Albold, et al. v. Varsity Spirit LLC et al., No. CC-25-04400-C in Dallas County Court at Law No. 3.

Fans React to Slow-Mo Video of Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner vs. OKC
Fans React to Slow-Mo Video of Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner vs. OKC originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers are up 1-0 in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder thanks to Tyrese Haliburton. Advertisement The two-time All-Star did not have the best of games on Thursday night, finishing with 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting, 10 rebounds, six assists, a block, three turnovers and two three-pointers in 39 minutes of action. Haliburton, however, stepped it up for the Pacers when it mattered the most. The 6-foot-5 point guard knocked down a game-winning jumper, leaving just 0.3 seconds on the game clock to lead Indiana to a thrilling 111-110 victory. The NBA posted a couple of slow-mo videos of Haliburton's incredible shot, and as expected, it drew quite a lot of reactions from the fans on social media. The folks on Instagram were left utterly impressed by Haliburton's heroics for the Pacers. Advertisement "This could be one of the most clutch playoff runs ever by a player," a comment read. "Straight cinema 🎥" said another. "Poetry in motion," declared a user. Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) during NBA Finals Media Day at Paycom Adams-Imagn Images "This was tough," a reaction read. "Overrate that," another said. "This cam is amazing 🔥 Haliburton has been using it a lot lately," a fan wrote. The Thunder came into Game 1 at Paycom Center as the favorites, and they proved why this was the case for virtually the entire game. It wasn't until Haliburton's shot found the bottom of the net with just 0.3 seconds remaining that the Pacers took their first lead of the evening. Indiana led this game for just three-tenths of a second, but it was enough for them to escape with what could very well be a series-defining victory.
