NBA (National Basketball Association)
Injuries continue to plague the defending NBA Champion Golden State Warriors in the Finals, with the Toronto Raptors up 2-1 in the series. To add insult to injury (pun intended), one of their minority owners shouted an obscenity at a Raptors player and shoved him during the last game. Mark Stevens has been fined $500,000 by the NBA and banned from attending games for one year. COME AT ME BRO

If you thought you were a champ for showing up to work today, wait until you read this. Boston Bruins player Zdeno Chara broke his jaw in game four of the NHL (National Hockey League) Stanley Cup Finals but he played in game five last night, broken jaw and all. Sadly, his grit didn’t equal a win as the St. Louis Blues pulled within one game of winning it all. PROOF THAT HOCKEY PLAYERS ARE HARDCORE

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then the New England Patriots (NFL - National Football League) are a sorority. The team received their Super Bowl rings yesterday and, put on your sunglasses, they’re blinding. Tom Brady celebrated receiving his sixth Super Bowl ring by joining in the now viral quarterbacks' off-season challenge, chugging an entire beer in two gulps. GREATEST OF ALL TIME?

NHL (National Hockey League)
When the unthinkable happens. The Washington Capitals are NHL Champions. The team, which capitalized on a 3-1 lead in the series against the Vegas Golden Knights, hoisted the Stanley Cup last night for the first time in franchise history. The playoff MVP and one of hockey’s best Alex Ovechkin, helped break the 44-year curse for the Washington, D.C. franchise. MAKING HISTORY

That being said, the two teams play tonight in a do or die situation for King James and his Cavs. HITTING THE HARDWOOD

The Race For The Triple Crown
When there’s no surprise here. Kentucky Derby winner, Justify, was the heavy favorite in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. It wasn’t pretty but Justify easily won the sloppy, muddy race. The Preakness is the second of three races a horse has to win to achieve the Triple Crown. With two of those races in the bag, the next stop for Justify is the Belmont Stakes on June 9, where he hopes to become the next Triple Crown winner. MORE ON THE RACE

With “Star Wars” favorite Chewbacca sitting courtside, the Cleveland Cavaliers (NBA – National Basketball Association) embodied the power of the force when they dominated the Boston Celtics in their playoff game this weekend. Did you know that new Chewbacca is actually played by former Penn State and Finnish basketball player Joonas Suotamo? So maybe the wookie does have game? (PS – the Cavs are down 2-1 in the semifinal series against the Celtics).
