It took 29 tries, but Kemba Walker has finally tasted victory against LeBron James. The Boston Celtics didn't leave any doubt on Monday night as they pummelled the Los Angeles Lakers en route to a 32-point victory, marking the end of Walker's 28-game winless streak against the four-time MVP.
"I'm happy I got one at least, before he goes," Walker said following Boston's 139-107 win. "Who knows how long he can play, because he's just incredible. But you know, it's only one. One and 28."
Walker, who finished with 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds, praised LeBron after the win.
“I have the utmost respect for LeBron and, you know, he’s one of the greatest players of all time,” Walker said, per Boston.com. “ If there’s (a guy) I couldn’t beat, it’d be him. He’s such a great player and has done so much in this league. He’s been so far. It just feels good to win.”
"If anybody: him. The guy I couldn't beat, it'd be him. He's such a great player, he's done so much in this league," said Walker, per ESPN. "He's beaten a lot of guys. I bet you there's a lot of people who don't have a winning record against LeBron James."

Future & Drake’s "Life Is Good" Secures Gold Certification
Life, good. The numbers, also good.
True, Drake and the artist formerly known as Meathead have been hip-hop superstars for a minute now, having enjoyed prime runs throughout the past decade. Now, with both men having comfortably entered their thirties, they have seemingly discovered the perfect method of expressing their satisfaction: endearing smug flex anthems. It seems as if whenever they get together, the pair allow themselves room to get cockier than ever, perhaps emboldened by their shared net worth and admiration for the fast life.

Their latest concoction "Life Is Good" is no exception. By now, the song has become a fan favorite of sorts, with many playfully debating who reigned supreme. Driven by a badass beat switch courtesy of Ambezza, OZ & D. Hill, the precursor to an oft-teased What A Time To Be Alive 2 (never confirmed, but heavily speculated) has become yet another hit in Drake and Future's collective catalog.
According to chartdata's findings, "Life Is Good" has officially sold over 500,000 album-equivalent units in the United States alone, a staggering amount given that one such unit equates to 1,500 streams. While the milestone has yet to be confirmed by the RIAA, it's only a matter of time before Drizzy and Future find themselves sporting a shiny new addition to the wall.
Damian Lillard Reacts To His Career-High 61-Point Game: Watch
Damian Lillard had a field day against the Warriors.
There are some players in the NBA who can take over a game almost at will. Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers is one of those players. On Monday night, Lillard led his team to a 129-124 victory over the bottom-dwelling Golden State Warriors. This was a huge game for the Blazers as they have been struggling quite a bit as of late. Lillard's team was down for most of the game although he was able to score a career-high 61 points to secure the victory.
Lillard's statline was quite impressive as he also finished with 10 rebounds and 7 assists. His point total was a record for any Blazers player although he had the previous record so it only makes sense that he would top himself.
After the game, Lillard spoke to TNT about the win and how his performance was necessary for the team to get the win. Had Lillard not gone off like that, it's clear as day that the Warriors would have won.
“It was an opportunity to have a new career-high and to make right for the one where I missed the free throws a couple years ago,” Lillard said. “Just clinching the game, I felt like I had a great performance in a game that we needed to win, which is the most important thing.”
With the win, the Blazers are now 10th in the Western Conference with a record of 19-26.
Jaylen Brown Posterizes LeBron James: NBA Twitter Reacts
"I ain't going to lie, that was pretty nice, pretty awesome."
There are few people in the world who can say they have dunked on LeBron James and lived to tell about it. And two of them play for the Boston Celtics.
During Monday night's blowout victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown took flight over the #WashedKing for an emphatic two-handed stuff. As seen in the footage embedded below, Brown was also hit with a technical for hanging on the rim and staring LeBron down - the cherry on top of his posterizing finish.
Following Boston's 139-107 win at the TD Garden, Brown spoke candidly about how 'awesome' it was to get one on LeBron.
"I ain't going to lie, that was pretty nice, pretty awesome," Brown said, per ESPN. "LeBron, he's gotten so many other guys. Just to be out there against one of the best players to ever play the game is an honor. I always like like that matchup and it gives me a little extra boost."
James took it all in stride.
"Why would I take it personally? It's part of basketball," he said, per ESPN. "It's not the first time I got dunked on. It might not be the last time I get dunked on. But Jaylen's been playing exceptionally well this year. It was a good play."

Tom Brady Would Reportedly Prefer To Be A Mentor With Next Team
Could Tom Brady be on the move?
Tom Brady will go down as the best football player of all-time when everything is said and done. He has six Super Bowls and countless records on his resume. While he may not be the most talented football player ever, he is certainly the most accomplished which is saying something when you consider everyone who has played the sport. This Spring, Brady has a huge decision to make as he will be a free agent for the first time in his career. The 42-year-old has been with the New England Patriots for 20 years and fans are curious as to who he would want to play for.
In a new report from Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, it was revealed that Brady would prefer to go to a team with a young quarterback who he could mentor. Of course, the Patriots have a young QB in Jarrett Stidham although there is no guarantee Brady would want to come back to the Patriots just for Stidham’s sake.

Brady still wants to be the starter but he would reportedly prefer to retire having left the franchise he’s playing for in good hands. Brady has plenty of experience to share with young players so a mentor role would fit him perfectly, especially at this point in his storied career.
Where do you think Brady should go? Let us know in the comments below.

Conor McGregor Claims Donald Trump Might Be The GOAT Of The USA
McGregor just came off of a win at UFC 246.
Twenty-twenty is a big year for politics in the United States of America. Later this year, the Democratic party will have chosen their candidate who will go to battle against President Donald Trump in the general election. It remains to be seen how the election will go down, even with all of the criticism surrounding Trump. While many speak out against the president, there are still plenty of people who are ride or die for him. As it turns out, one of those people is none other than UFC star Conor McGregor.
Yesterday, Trump celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by talking about himself and his accomplishments as President. That's when McGregor jumped into the comments section to express his love for the 45th president of the United States.
"Phenomenal President. Quite possibly the USA ?," McGregor wrote. "Most certainly one of them anyway, as he sits atop the shoulders of many amazing giants that came before him. No easy feet. Early stages of term also. Incredible. Congrats and Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day America."
McGregor's comments were met with a mix of support and strong disagreement. There is no denying both McGregor and Trump are polarizing people. Perhaps that's why they attract each other. Either way, we're sure some McGregor fans won't be too impressed with these comments.

Porsha Williams Dodges Questions About Recent Dennis McKinley Cheating Rumors
Things were a tad awkward.
Reality star Porsha Williams’s relationship was back in the headlines after another accusation of infidelity surfaced. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s storyline for the current season is centered around the rebuilding of her relationship with fiancé Dennis McKinley. It was revealed that Dennis cheated on Porsha while she was pregnant because he claims he wasn’t as sexually attracte to her whicle she was with child. The couple broke up only to reconcile months later, and now there are reports that he was spotted at a diner in Atlanta with multiple women at four o’clock in the morning.
Porsha was in the hot set when she visited Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, and things got awkward when she struggled to answer questions about her romance. “You know, we’re working on our relationship,” she said with a smile. Andy then asked her if she trusts Dennis. “Huh?… I think you ask that every time I come here.” It seems as if she was trying to avoid the question as she laughed. “I think every relationship is a work in progress. We have a daughter together and just pray for us.”
Later, Andy questioned Porsha about the recent rumors that Dennis was spotted at a diner. “Was that blip in your relationship when you read about that?” Andy asked. Porsha replied, “Um, uh, I don’t know.” Andy wanted to know what she meant. “What do you mean, I don’t know,” Porsha stated. “I don’t know!… The blogs, you know, he was out, I don’t know. Can y’all juts continue to comment and speculate and let me just figure out my life?”
Meanwhile, Dennis recently openly apologized to Porsha’s family for his previous infidelities. Check out Porsha’s Watch What Happens Live clip below.
