Ginobili still undecided on retirement
- May 30, 2017
They became the first team in league history to start the playoffs 12-0 as they cruised to their third successive NBA Finals and face another possible showdown with Cleveland, who lead Boston 2-1 in the East finals. "I don't think he needs that". With Golden State completing an inevitable 4-0 series sweep over the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, the contest became an ode to Argentinian great Ginobili who may announce his retirement this off-season after 15 years in the ...

Tony Adams: 'I hope Arsene Wenger steps down'
- May 30, 2017
The 50 year old who served as Granada's caretaker manager in La Liga at the end of last season in an unsuccessful bid to keep them from relegation, had previously criticised Wenger's abilities as a coach despite the fact that they won league and cup titles together prior to Adams' retirement in 2002.

Victor Moses dived because he was exhausted against Arsenal - Antonio Conte
- May 30, 2017
Conte didn't have a great record in Cup competitions in Italy and I suspect the FA Cup wasn't a priority. However that would all remain academic as Arsenal claimed another famous FA Cup final win, a victory over their capital nemesis, and that familiar double arm Wenger celebration was once again seen on the touchline.

Kerr not well yet, but hasn't ruled himself out for Game 1
- May 30, 2017
They're going to challenge our ballclub. They are plus-31.2 points per 100 possessions in the first quarter, while going plus-19.8 points in the fourth. Alonso put on a thrilling show and even led 27 laps - third most in the race - but he was sent to the paddock when his engine blew with 20 laps remaining. (more...)

Isaiah Thomas 'Would Love' To Be With Celtics Long Term, Win Championships
- May 30, 2017
We made a lot of mistakes you don't make at this stage and they capitalized. "The stuff they're running, it's harder to defend than Golden State's [offense] for me, as far as the actions and all the running around and all the guys who are making all the plays, so it's a totally different thing".

Atletico boss on Griezmann - 'No one is above the club'
- May 30, 2017
He also secured qualification to the Champions League - but fell well short of a title challenge. Since then the Burnley defender has won two caps for England and become one of the best Premier League centre-backs. However, regardless of what happens with United's current number one this summer, Ederson looks very likely to be lining up for rivals City next season rather than in Mourinho's side. (more...)

Manchester City beats out United, signs young Monaco star Bernardo Silva
- May 30, 2017
He represents the first of what is expected to be a number of high-profile recruits as Guardiola, the City head coach, seeks to overhaul his squad after finishing his first season in charge without any silverware. Silva was enticed by the opportunity of working under the world's best trainer, but the playmaker is blessed with many qualities that are unteachable. (more...)

Boston Celtics Guard Isaiah Thomas Eligible for Contract Extension
- May 30, 2017
Thomas said he never doubted that coach Brad Stevens and general manager Danny Ainge were more concerned about his future than getting him back into the game. While Jordan has a slightly better playoff three-point percentage than James, James has a higher percentage on two-point shots. This is the second-straight season where he's had to miss time, and his absence from the first 43 games of 2015-16 led to the incredible rise of Luke Walton. (more...)

Price makes season debut as Red Sox fall in Chicago
- May 30, 2017
But as much as Boston's David Price kept the Sox off-balance in his season debut, Cabrera - who gave the Sox a 3-1 lead with a 3-run homer - and the Sox scored when they had to win for the fourth time in their last five games. "It wasn't as insane as I thought", Sale said. It's a play you want to be able to have an opportunity to make. It isn't exactly apples-to-apples, however. (more...)

It's one-all at the moment between these two super teams, with the Warriors claiming the 2015 title, 4-2, before the Cavaliers fought back from 3-1 down to turn the tables on Golden State last season. In James' four years with the Heat 12 players from the West were first team All-NBA and eight from the East, including James all four years. "I can't lie", Durant said when comparing the 2012 Finals trip to this one. (more...)

French Open '17: Novak Djokovic, Garbine Muguruza try to defend titles
- May 30, 2017
Fourth-seed Muguruza , who had been woefully out of form in the run-up to Roland Garros , never looked in danger and outclassed her Italian opponent 6-2 6-4 in muggy conditions. "She's still playing. She's fitter than most of the players". "I knew this day would come but sometimes when I was watching tennis on TV, I didn't really feel great". (more...)

Huddersfield promoted to Premier League after penalty shootout win over Reading
- May 30, 2017
David Wagner's side will play in the English top-flight for the first time in 45 years after holding their nerve in the nerve-shredding penalty shoot-out that followed a tense 0-0 draw at Wembley. His consistency was remarkable, missing just one of Huddersfield's 48 league matches. But Liam Moore fired his penalty over the bar for Reading which allowed Huddersfield to level it up at 3-3.

Huddersfield Town promoted to Premier League: David Wagner 'in fairy tale'
- May 30, 2017
We said we wanted to sit deeper and play on the transition to the counter and I think it worked well. "The heart rate was pretty high". I think he's done a brilliant job. He said: "By the way, Ian Holloway, all the best for next season". Some of his methods have been unconventional - a three-day survival camp in pre-season raised eyebrows - but Wagner has now proven his pedigree as a young manager of some talent, and he will continue to make his name in the Premier League next season.

- May 30, 2017
On what it will take to beat Real Madrid ... It will be a thrilling game, everybody wants to watch it and the players want to be on the pitch to enjoy it. But after the final day victory that sealed this championship, he said: "I'd like to get up here [on the table in the press room] and dance". Real Madrid's attacking prominence isn't just impressive when matched up to the likes of Atletico, Villarreal and Real Sociedad but also across the continent. (more...)
