Bob Ryan on Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers in '84 NBA Finals, epic trash talk
When it comes to some truly historic trash talk on the parquet, few people have born witness to what went down in the old Boston Garden during the 1980s as Boston Celtics beat writer emeritus Bob Ryan has. And the unofficial historian of the Celtics media recently took some time to talk about such trash talk, electing to regale us with the words that were thrown around as the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers battled for the 1984 NBA Finals.
Lakers legend James Worthy in particular has a major role, and as one might have imagined, the Hick From French Lick (as Larry Bird was often lovingly called for a nickname) did as well.

Unsung heroes? Underrated players who could make a difference in NBA Finals
Unsung heroes? Underrated players who could make a difference in NBA Finals Show Caption Hide Caption Pacers and Thunder NBA Finals is better than it's 'small-market' billing USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt breaks down the star-studded NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Sports Pulse In the NBA playoffs, the outcome often rests on the underrated. Certainly, the performances of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Haliburton will be scrutinized and big games can propel their respective teams to victories. But it's often the role players, sometimes off the bench, erupting on a scoring streak or clamping down on defense, who can make the difference between winning and losing. Think Steve Kerr's nine points off the bench for the Chicago Bulls — seven of which came in the fourth quarter — in the closeout Game 6 of the 1997 Finals, including the game-winning, 14-foot jumper with 5 seconds to play. Think Andre Iguodala winning Most Valuable Player of the 2015 NBA Finals for the Golden State Warriors, despite being a sixth man for most of the series. Now, not every role player will win MVP, but steady contributions, in a series with two deep teams, will go a long way. Here's a look at three under-the-radar players for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers who could make the difference between winning and losing in the 2025 NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder Alex Caruso, guard He gives them incredible defensive versatility off the bench, as he's capable of guarding any position on the floor. This postseason, he has been tasked with defending Nuggets center Nikola Jokić and Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards. Plus, when he's on the floor, the Thunder can go to an incredibly small lineup — with Caruso serving as the center — which could come in handy against a quick and athletic Pacers team. Kenrich Williams, forward He was essentially out of the rotation in the first and second rounds of the playoffs, but Williams provided energy and offense in limited minutes off the bench during the Western Conference finals. In the five games of that series, Williams played just 47:42 and posted a +32 in plus-minus. Known affectionately as Kenny Hustle, Williams is a quintessential spark off the bench whose effort — tipping rebounds to teammates and saving loose balls — often doesn't appear in box scores. Luguentz Dort, guard Though Dort is a starter, he's the fourth- or fifth-best offensive option on the unit, on a similar level as center Isaiah Hartenstein. But Dort, who is persistent and physical, will likely be the primary defender on Tyrese Haliburton. Using his hands to slow the players he defends, Dort can easily frustrate opposing guards into mistakes or foul trouble. This is exactly the type of matchup that he gets up for. ANALYSIS: Haters gonna hate, but NBA's 3-point shot is crucial to winning titles PACERS VS. THUNDER: Which team has the edge in NBA Finals? Indiana Pacers Bennedict Mathurin, forward When the Pacers need a scoring lift off the bench, it's usually Mathurin who provides it. Though he struggled in the first three games of the Eastern Conference finals, Mathurin played with intention and force in Games 4 and 5. He attacked and drew contact, often getting Knicks guards into foul trouble. And when he got to the line, he was lethal, draining all but one of his 29 attempts from the stripe in the series. Indiana will need his scoring off the bench with the second unit. Pacers vs. Thunder: Outside of stars, who could be difference in NBA Finals? IndyStar's Dustin Dopirak and The Oklahoman's Jenni Carlson look at players outside the spotlight who may make the difference in NBA Finals. T.J. McConnell, guard Speaking of the second unit, Haliburton's backup will need to step up, too. McConnell is a 33-year-old veteran whose game is often deliberate, but he provides high energy, scoring from the mid-range and play-making out of the point guard spot. He rarely plays more than 20 minutes a game, but McConnell will play a massive part in making sure the Pacers don't fall behind when Haliburton gets a rest. Thomas Bryant and Tony Bradley, centers The Thunder have excellent height in their starting lineup with Chet Holmgren and Hartenstein, a pair of 7-footers looming in the frontcourt. Bryant, who flushed 3-of-4 attempts from 3 in the Game 6 clincher in the Eastern Conference finals, played because Bradley was nursing a hip injury. Given OKC's height, this could be a series where Bryant and Bradley both play, even if Bradley isn't a full go. The biggest stories, every morning.

World Cup Athletes Are Among the Exceptions to Trump's New Travel Ban
President Trump signed a travel ban on Wednesday that prohibits citizens of 12 countries from entering the United States. The primarily targets nations in Africa and the Middle East. The ban, which goes into effect on Monday, bars travel to the United States by citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. And it limits travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. But there were some exceptions to the expansive order: Green card holders People with green cards — individuals who have a pathway to U.S. citizenship — are exempted from the ban. When a travel ban was introduced by Mr. Trump during his first term in 2017, chaos and confusion ensued at airports. The Department of Homeland Security had to put out a statement clarifying that green card holders could enter the country. This time, the administration is making that exemption clear in the order itself. Dual citizens People who are American citizens but also hold citizenship with a banned country will not be effected by the order. Those who seek visas through connections to an American family member Immigrants from the banned countries who seek visas through connections to their spouses, children, or parents who are American citizens will still be able to apply for them. Certain athletes Athletes and coaches traveling to the United States to play in major sporting events, along with their families, will still be allowed into the country, despite the ban. The United States is one of the hosts of the World Cup in 2026, and Los Angeles is the site of the Summer Olympics in 2028. This exception will allow soccer players from targeted countries, like Iran, to enter the United States for the World Cup. Refugees granted asylum Those who have been admitted as refugees or were granted asylum are exempted under the order. Afghans who helped the U.S. The order exempts Afghans who seek to enter the U.S. under a special visa program for those helped the U.S. government during the two decades of war after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Iranians fleeing religious persecution Iranians who are escaping the country because they belong to a religious minority, like Christianity, are also exempted.

Climber dies after falling 3,000 feet from Mount McKinley in Alaska's Denali National Park
The body of a climber who dreamed of summiting Alaska's Mount McKinley, also known as Denali, has been found two days after he fell approximately 3,000 feet, the National Parks Service said. Alex Chiu, 41, was ascending the West Buttress climbing route of Mount McKinley — the tallest mountain in North America and third highest in the world — with two others on Monday when he fell at a spot known as Squirrel Point, according to park officials. After his friends witnessed the fall, they tried to lower themselves as far over the edge as they possibly could, but they weren't able to hear or see Chiu, NPS said in a news release. They then went back down the mountain for help. High winds and snow prevented rescue teams from getting to the area where Chiu fell until Wednesday morning, NPS said. Chiu is one of multiple climbers who have died in falls since 1980 along this section of Mount McKinley's West Buttress route, according to NPS. There are currently 500 climbers on Mount McKinley, the park said. The beginning of June is right in the middle of the climbing season, which generally begins in early May and ends in early July, NPS said.
