Rapper Drake has become the center of attention in the Milwaukee Bucks – Toronto Raptors playoff series. The Canadian is a big Raptors fan and therefore a local Milwaukee radio station is taking a break from playing his music during the series. A Canadian radio station fired back by refusing to play Steve Miller Band music. (Raptors lead the 7-game series 3-2, with game 6 tomorrow). TIT FOR TAT

The rich and famous and their super yachts come out for the most beautiful race on the F1 (Formula One) circuit. Keep an eye out for names like soccer’s Ronaldo and football’s Tom Brady at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. The usually festive weekend will have a bit of a sober tone with the passing of former F1 driver and team owner Niki Lauda.

When you feel like you’re doing three people’s jobs. King James still reigns supreme as his team beat the Boston Celtics last night in game seven to head to the NBA finals. Even though this will be LeBron James’ eighth consecutive appearance in the finals, some say this is his biggest feat yet because he has carried his team on his shoulders for the entire season.

Yesterday was a great day to be from the land down under, with the Aussies taking home victories in both the Indy 500 (IndyCar) and the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.
