Leukemia patient Brody Stephens visits Stephen Curry and Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors lost to the Jazz on Monday night, but this is too awesome not to mention. They welcomed their friend, 8-year-old Brody Stephens, as a guest at Oracle Arena during that game.
Brody is currently battling
leukemia for the second time at a hospital in Indianapolis. He’s a huge Steph Curry fan and first met Steph last year.
Brody got to sit at the podium for the pregame in- terview, and he got to interact with players, including, of course, Steph.
Cavaliers Will Waive Larry Sanders And Sign Center Edy Tavares
team over the weekend. He has spent the entire season playing for the Toronto Rap-
tors' D-League team after being waived by the Atlanta Hawks last fall.
Khloe Kardashian Says If
Cavs' Tristan Thompson
Proposed To Her, She'd Say Yes
LARRY SANDERS
The Cleveland Cavaliers have moved on from the comeback of Larry Sanders and will waive him ahead of their final game of the season.
Sanders played sparingly in five games over the last month after returning to the NBA following a two-plus- year absence. It was a sur- prising move as the Cavs signed Sanders to a two- year, non-guaranteed deal in March with the goal of preparing him for next sea- son. He had spent most of his time with the Cavs' D- League team.
In his place the Cavs plan to sign center Edy Tavares, sources said. He blocked 11 shots in two playoff games against the Cavs' D-League
Khloe Kardashian and the Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson have been dat- ing for less than a year, but Kardashian is already get- ting questions about mar- riage, family, and whether or not they have wedding plans yet.
In an interview with the Evening Standard that pub- lished on Tuesday, Kar- dashian said that while they don’t have wedding plans, she would marry the NBA champ now if he asked. Per ES, Kar- dashian says:
‘I would love to have a fam- ily,’ she says. With Thomp- son? ‘We’ve talked about it. He [already] is a father, and I know for a fact that he would be an impeccable father. I definitely want to be a mom.
TRISTAN THOMPSON AND KHLOE KARDASHIAN
But I don’t put the pressure on it. It’s not like, “the clock is ticking”. I feel in my soul it will happen.’
There are no immediate plans to walk down the aisle but she does say she has ‘never been in this type of love’. If he proposed, would she accept? ‘Yes I would.’ Spoiler alert? Only time will tell.
