Is trolling LeBron James the best LeBron James?

LeBron James takes on the Knicks and Phil Jackson, while Lonzo Ball struggles to put the ball in the basket.

Carm and Kayla episode number 40. Seems like a big number.

Kudos to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for riding the New York subway, coming back from 18-down to beat the Knicks and for trolling Phil Jackson all in one visit. Impressive. Props to New York Knick Enes Kanter as well for stepping up for his teammate Frank Ntilikina, whose name NBA fans are now starting to learn how to pronounce.

Very interesting backstory on Ntilikina and his journey to the NBA. Perhaps a hidden Michael Jordan reason, why LeBron voiced his opinion that the Knicks should have drafted Dennis Smith Jr.

Who do you got in the NFL owners stare down versus Jerry Jones? Arthur Blank seems to have the entire group behind him as the owners prepare to pay Roger Goodell somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-million per year. Don’t forget the private plane, health care insurance and lifetime supply of Snickers.

Is anyone more afraid of heath care premiums skyrocketing than Goodell? I thought I was worried. Goodell seems to have the leverage and he is going for it all.

Our winners and losers:

-The World Cup without Italy for the first time since 1958. Soccer fans are getting the short end of the stick.

-Chicago Bears head coach John Fox. Maybe the worst challenge in the history of the NFL.

-Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic won’t talk to teammate Bobby Portis after Portis hit him in the face.

-An emotional Teddy Bridgewater returns to the field.

-Taylor Swift surprised Jimmy Fallon.

-Marquise Goodwin played and scored a touchdown after his son’s death.
