NBA Finals Game 6 ESPN on ABC broadcast takeaways: Warm welcome for TNT"s Craig Sager


Warriors vs Cavaliers: Game 6 NBA Finals - 06.16.16 Full Highlights

CLEVELAND, Ohio Doris Burke said she felt "woefully underdressed" standing next to Craig Sager.

The longtime NBA sideline reporter never covered an NBA Finals until Thursday night. Wearing a popping blue and black jacket covered in a flower design, Sagerjoined Burke for Game 6 at The Q. Sager is battling leukemia and earlier this week agreed to a one-day deal to cover the Cavaliers" 115-101 winagainst the Golden State Warriors.

Sager normally works for TNT. He"s spent 34 years with the Turner networks, but began Thursday"s game covering the Warriors" bench.

He also interviewed Tyronn Lue after the third quarter and capped the night with LeBron James for a postgame chat.

Sager asked James numerous questions after a 41-point performance to push the Finals to a Game 7 that will be played Sunday night in Oakland, Calif.

James fired back one queryto Sager.

"First of all, let me ask you a question," James said. "How in the h**l do you go 30-plus years without getting a finals game? That don"t make no sense."

Sager was diagnosed in March 2014 with leukemia. He returned a year later, but revealed in April during an interview on HBO that his cancer was no longer in remission.

Sager will receive the Jimmy V Perseverance Award in July at The ESPYS.

Here"s some social media highlights of Sager"s first Finals game.

She knows her dad

J.R. Smith"s daughter, Demi, found herself with Jamie Foxx and a slew of children to join ESPN"s Lindsay Czarniak before Game 6.

Demi"s thoughts on her father"splay? Watch for yourself and enjoy.

Sorry, Mr. Russell

Mike Breen struck again. Amid a shot to the luxury suites, Breen pointed out Tracy McGrady and Mike Miller.

He omitted the Hall of Famer at the right.

Mark Jackson provided the save to acknowledge Bill Russell.

Early, late-night predictions

If you didn"t stay up till almost 1:30 a.m. watching SportsCenter"s postgame coverage, Chauncey Billups and Michael Wilbon gave their Game 7 predictions for Sunday night.

Both picked the Cavaliers.

Billups played on the road in an NBA Finals Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs in 2005. His Detroit Pistons lost to the Spurs that year. He cited momentum as the reason for his choice.

Wilbon, the ESPN commentator and former Washington Post columnist, swayed from his original pick of the Warriors. His reason is James.

OnePlus 3 release date, specs rumors 2016: Another set of images leaked through Twitter


OnePlus 3 - Official Unboxing

(OnePlus official website)OnePlus 2 showcasing the OxygenOS.

Another set of images of the alleged OnePlus 3 has been leaked in Twitter, cementing the design of the upcoming handset.

The Twitter user @krispitech previously leaked photos of a handset that the user claims to be the OnePlus 3. It can be noted that the design is different from the OnePlus 2, the company"s current flagship smartphone. Now, another Twitter user leaked OnePlus 3 photos, which feature the same design as that of the previous leak.

The Malignant, with the Twitter handle @the_malignant, posted two photos showcasing the front and bottom parts. The rear side was not shown because it "is not the retail shape."

The front features a physical home button in the shape of a beefed up-Samsung home button, which the phone shares with the OnePlus 2. A fingerprint scanner is assumed to be sitting on the home button. The camera and the flash are seated at the left side of the top bezel. For comparison, both features are at the right side of the top bezel of the OnePlus 2.

Moving on to the bottom part, a single speaker grille can be seen on the left side of the USB Type-C port. OnePlus 2 has two speaker grilles, one on each side of the USB port. Now, a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack can be seen on the right side.

The OnePlus 3 was previously expected to arrive by the end of May, but an interview with OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei revealed that it will come in June.

According to Cnet, Pei revealed to Cnet en Espaolthat OnePlus 3 will be launched "at the end of the second quarter," which is in June.

Pei also added that they will be directly selling the OnePlus 3 to the United States using more "traditional marketing." It is unknown if that means they will be demolishing the invitation-only tactic they used in OnePlus 2.

They will also start accepting payment via credit card. So far, the company has only accepted PayPal payments.

Jennifer Aniston Wears a Bikini on Vacation Sparks Pregnancy Rumors


Jennifer Aniston (47) schwanger? 1. Auftritt nach Baby-Gerüchten!

By Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic/Getty Images.

Can I live?!?! Kim Kardashian West once asked in a tweet. When it comes to Jennifer Aniston being photographed wearing bikinis, much like Kim in that particular moment, no, Aniston most certainly cannot live. She cant eat. She cant sit. She cant do anything besides have washboard-flat abs. If, heaven forbid, she has even the tiniest hint of a stomach, our nations pre-eminent sad, childless woman is immediately declared as pregnant by the media.

In fact, Anistons alleged pregnancy is a top-trending topic on Facebook right now. Some outlets are hedging, with headlines that say sparks new pregnancy rumors. They have to put new in there, because by our estimates, Jennifer Aniston has been reported as pregnant for the past 20 years of her life. She can live, but only if shes gestating a fetus. Its the only way the tabloids believe our minds can be at restknowing that finally, at long last, Aniston will get the child she has spoken candidly about wanting.

InTouch is taking a more direct approach. The tabloid says they have confirmation from a source that Aniston is definitely expecting her first child with husband Justin Theroux. The cover of the latest issue features the supposed baby-bump-baring bikini photos, which again, might just be the result of a large meal or a camera angle or any number of things. Aniston and Theroux are clearly trying to enjoy a private vacation, and instead there they are, proud new parents on the cover of a magazine.

But guess what? Those large meal rumors are the real story here. Anistons rep has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she isnt with child. She is not pregnant. Shame on InTouch for making up the whole story, but this is not the first time they have done so. What you see is her having just enjoyed a delicious big lunch and her feeling safe on private property.

Let Jennifer Aniston eat lunch and go to the beach, everyone. Let her live.

Argentina vs. Bolivia | Copa America Centenario Match Preview


Argentina vs Bolivia 3-0 GOLES RESUMEN Copa America 2016

Argentina vs. BoliviaCopa America Centenario | Group DJune 14 | 10 pm ET | CenturyLink Field, SeattleTV: FS1, UniMs, UDN

Argentina will try to finish group play with a perfect 3-0-0 record when they take on Group D stragglers Bolivia on Tuesday night.

La Albicelestewill be prohibitive favorites against their South American rivals, who lost both of their first two matches and have already been eliminated from contention for the knockout stages. A win or a draw would seal Group D for Leo Messi and friends, and they could even secure the top spot with a loss pending the result of the preceding Chile-Panama match.

Will Messi get a start?

After missing Argentinas opener against Chile due to a back injury, Messi got his tournament off to a torrid start against Panama last week, coming on for the final 30 minutes and scoring a hat trick in their 5-0 victory.

Manager Gerardo Martino said Messi will play on Tuesday night, but didnt commit to starting the Barcelona superstar.

Messi will play in the game, Martino said, in his pregame press conference. We will do what we believe [best], according to the opinion of the player and the doctor. It seems to me that Leo lost his fear in the game against Panama. [When scoring his first goal] Leo made a run at speed and he felt more comfortable, much better in the game. As the days pass he will feel even better still.

Di Maria in doubt

Messi isnt the only Argentina star with an injury concern. Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria left Fridays win against Panama late in the first half due to an adductor injury and, despite making a partial return to training on Monday, is unlikely to play on Tuesday.

Ive seen him running around the pitch, and I see him in good spirits as well, Martino said. But I cant tell you when he will be available to play.

Regardless of whether or not they finish first or second in Group D, Argentina will play in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Martino didnt yet know if Di Maria would be available for that game.

Battling Bolivia

Theyre already out of the running for the Knockouts, but Bolivia have been feisty in both of their first two Copa America Centenario matches. They entered the final minutes of both of their games tied at 1-1, but allowed an 87th-minute Blas Perez strike in their 2-1 opening loss against Panama and were buried by a 100th-minute (yes, you read that right) penalty in Fridays 2-1 loss to Chile.

Boliviawill hope to put up a similar fight against Argentina in their Copa finale on Tuesday night.La Albicelesteare a different animal, however, andBolivia will need to be at their sharpest just to keep it close.

Forthcoming Documentary Fights Cultural Erasure in Oakland


6/14/16: Rangers outmuscle the A"s 10-6 in Oakland
Earlier this week, the Community Rejuvenation Project (CRP), a local arts nonprofit, released a trailer and crowdfunding campaign for its anticipated documentary, Alice Street. The film recounts the genesis of a mural that has thrust public art into the forefront of its neighborhoods gentrification debate.

Nestled at the crossroads of Oaklands Chinatown district and the Afro-diasporic community based at the adjacent Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Performing Arts, the CRP mural aimed to capture the neighborhoods historic intersectionality. The art, which celebrates artists and folk traditions from both cultural enclaves, has been hailed as a beacon of resilience in the face of heightening community displacement due to gentrification.Oakland muralists Pancho Peskador and Desi Mundo were commissioned in 2010 to paint the three blighted walls surrounding a parking lot at 1401 Alice Street. The artists filmed extensive interviews with both Chinese-American and Black residents to understand their respective communities histories of out-group discrimination and personal experiences of cultural perseverance.

These oral histories, along with twenty-five days of time-lapse videography showing the murals installation and footage of the Malonga Center community meetings and performances that fostered the murals conception, were the nascent vision of director Spencer Wilkinsons documentary.

But then the tangible reality of Oaklands gentrification problem presented itself directly in front of the Alice Street mural.

As the Express has previously reported, only three-months after the mural"scompletion, CRP leaders learned of plans to develop a 126-unit condominium complex in a privately-owned parking lot in front of the artwork. The mural, which cost $80,000 in grant money from the City of Oakland and community crowdfunding, would be entirely obscured.

The film follows the community polemic launched in response to the development and the wider dialogue surrounding housing inequity in the region. The Alice Street mural has become a chief symbol of cultural resilience in a neighborhood that is being threatened by Oaklands displacement crisis.

Alice Street is scheduled to premiere in October 2016. But the filmmakers are currently fundraising the cost of post-production in order to complete it. They aim to raise $12,000, the first $8,000 of which will be matched by the East Bay Community Foundation. Contribute to the Generosity page here or watch the trailer below.
