Some links to get you through the afternoon:
1. David So is that pickup basketball player you hate [Deadspin]

If you haven’t played against Ball Handles, you probably are Ball Handles.
2. People’s thirst for LeBron James news is very real [ESPN]

The above instagram post from LeBron James’ wife, included with the caption “Home sweet home!! The countdown is real! #330”, caused everyone to freak out about the prospect of LeBron James reuniting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Because if anyone is going to spill the details of James’ thinking, it’s his wife. The James family vacations in Akron every summer. This isn’t anything new. James has until June 30th to make a (sigh) decision on whether to opt out of his contract with Miami. Expect many more rumors between now and then.
3. Don’t expect the Bucks to draft Joel Embiid [For the Win!]
Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry pretty much came out and said that the team wouldn’t draft Joel Embiid because the team wants someone who will be ready to play immediately. Embiid had surgery on a broken bone in his foot that could take anywhere from four to eight months to heal.
4. Katy Perry offered to write Hillary Clinton’s theme song [AV Club]
It’s going to be “Roar” because of course it is.
5. Dragon Ball Z is still a thing, will have a new movie coming in August where Goku fights a cat [ComicsAlliance]
.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; height: auto; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
It’s probably not a good thing that I’m excited about the prospect of Goku battling an evil alien cat.
6. Virginian House Representative says that Washington’s NFL Club should change its name [TMZ Sports]
Add Jim Moran (D-VA) to those who think Dan Snyder should change the team’s name – “They should give the football team a name that’s respectful of all Americans … particularly Native Americans.”
