Jameis Winston The Next
LeBron’s Son Likes Michael Jordan
The LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan debates will never end, but according to LeBron James, Jr. there's no competition.
The elder James passed the Bulls great on the all-time playoff assist list in Game 1, but the younger James kept it real with his father.
"(James') son was quick to tell him he doesn't think his dad could beat MJ in much of anything else," Rachel Nichols reported.
Cavs Sweep Celtics
LeBron James doing what he does best.
LeBron James made sure the Cavaliers would get a few extra days of rest before they play in the second round by sweeping the Celtics with a 101-93 victory over Boston on Sunday in Game 4 of their first round NBA Playoffs series.
The Cavs went to Kevin Love on their first possession of the game for their first two points but those would be his only points. Fighting for a re- bound with Kelly Olynyk, Love's left arm got tangled and his left shoulder appeared to pop out. He went running into the locker room, holding his left arm and did not return to the game.
After Beating On Friday, Clippers Come Back To Tie Series
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin combined for 54 points as the Clippers defeated the Spurs 114-105 Sunday in Game 4 of their first-round NBA Playoff series.
LA's Big Three of Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jor- dan, who combined for only 31 points in the Clippers' 100- 73 loss, did what Rivers needed them to do in Game 4 - - with the Clippers' 56-win season on the line. Paul had 34 points on 11-for-19 shoot- ing and 7 assists; Griffin had 20 points and 19 rebounds; and Jordan had 14 rebounds and four blocks in the Clippers victory.

JaMarcus Russell? 'Off Base,' Former GM Says In Report
LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell drops back to pass in the third quarter of play in Baton Rouge against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday 30, September, 2006. LSU would go on to win the game 48-17.
Many things could be said about Jameis Winston. Just don't call him the next JaMarcus Russell.
Former Tampa Bay Buc- caneers general manager Mark Dominik took of- fense at a comparison be- tween the two former college quarterbacks made by an anonymous NFL personnel

executive to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"They do dumb things," said the personnel executive, who also cited "lack of focus" and off-field problems as other concerns for Winston.
Dominik didn't under- stand the comparison.
"I think it's rude," he said, via NFL.com. "It think it's completely off base to call him JaMarcus Russell. I just don't see the compari- son."
Russell widely is re- garded as the biggest bust in NFL Draft history for his flop after the Oakland Raiders se- lected him first overall out of LSU in 2007. Many expect the Bucs to select Winston first overall out of Florida State when the 2015 NFL Draft begins Thursday in Chicago.

'He is not on Floyd's level. All he is is an opponent. That's all he is. Nothing more, nothing less.'
Mayweather, Jr., who is famed for his swagger in and out of the ring, goes into the bout with a record of 47 wins and no defeats, with 26 wins by knockout.

WNBA star Brittney Griner’s getting married to woman who understands her love of Basketball!
The Phoenix Mercury star revealed via Instagram that she’s gotten engaged to her girlfriend Glory Johnson, who once played for the Ten- nessee Vols. Glory now takes the court for the Tulsa Shock.
The two 24-year-olds were each arrested Wednes- day on counts of assault by recklessly causing physical injuries and disorderly con- duct for fighting. They were booked into the Maricopa County Jail in downtown Phoenix and later released.
"The last few months have been an extremely stressful time for Brittney and Glory. They will continue to work through these hard- ships together and ask that the media respect their pri- vacy as they handle this fam- ily matter," Griner's attorney, David Michael Cantor, said in a statement
released Thursday. "Glory and Brittney sincerely apol- ogize for the distraction this has caused their families, re- spective teams, the WNBA, sponsors and fans."
Griner told police that she and Johnson had been arguing every day and got into each other's faces Wednesday afternoon in the home they had bought two days earlier after Johnson said Griner "disrespected" her, according to a police re- port.
Johnson told police Griner had gotten too close, so she pushed her back to get some separation and began talking to her sister, Judy Johnson, when she was pushed in the back of the head by Griner. Glory Johnson turned around and the physical altercation began, with both fighting on the floor for 4 to 6 minutes. The entire episode lasted about 20 minutes, according to the report.

Tiger Woods is currently ranked No. 106 in the world. The last time he played TPC Sawgrass, in 2013, he won the tournament.
Though hardly a surprise, Tiger Woods announced via Twitter Friday he will make his next start at The Players Championship beginning May 7 at TPC Sawgrass.
“Looking forward to going back to THE PLAYERS this year, hoping for a repeat of 2013,” Woods tweeted, re- calling his fourth win of that comeback season. He missed last year’s event rehabbing from back surgery.
Woods finished tied for 17th at the Masters, a promis- ing return from a two-month layoff spent trying to rebuild his game.
TIGER WOODS
When asked after his final round where his next start would be, he said, “Not going to be for a while. I have a little time off, and go back to the drawing board, work on it again, refine what I’m doing. I really like what I’m doing, I got my distance back, and everything is good.”
It also appears Woods has committed to the Memorial in early June, ac- cording to Jack Nicklaus, the tournament host.
