In one sense, James caught up to at least part of that ghost when he passed Jordan for the most points scored in NBA Playoffs history with a 35-point showing in a 135-102 closeout win over the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at TD Garden last month.
The 39-point effort in Game 5 capped a series when he was the best player nearly every night, no small feat when LeBron James was putting up a performance for the ages, averaging a triple-double for the Cavs. Ten years after becoming the No. 2 draft pick behind Greg Oden, Durant has reached the pinnacle. He can't do it alone. I work hard, I belie...
A year ago, these Warriors fell short after a record-setting season that included a 24-0 start and 73 victories at the end to break the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls' wins mark.

India came into the tournament as the favourites and lived up to that tag so far. We have had so many matches against each other since then, and we are certainly not going out to prove a point to anyone. On the big stage, in the big games, few players have risen to the occasion as consistently or spectacularly in limited-overs cricket as Yuvraj...

She cheered him on courtside during Game 1 on this year's Finals, with some reports claiming she yelled "brick!" at Durant as he shot a free throw. "They're going to be here for a wh...
As the gold confetti fell and a fresh gray National Basketball Association champion cap sat a tad off-kilter on his head, Kevin Durant embraced mother Wanda.

And such was the confidence the team took from beating a well-known team in foreign conditions, it propelled them to the most consistent run of results they have enjoyed in their global history.
