There was a moment late in the 2008 men’s basketball gold medal match in Beijing — a tense matchup between a superstar-filled United States team and reigning world champions Spain — when Dwyane Wade drives with the ball past a defender, stopping short just as his feet hit the paint. Wade then kicks the ball out to Kobe Bryant, open and just beyond the three point line.
“I found him across the court, he jabbed, raised up and hit a three. It was at that moment that we realized it was over,” recalled Wade Thursday night while standing on the red carpet for the Netflix documentary The Redeem Team outside Netflix’s Tudum Theater in Hollywood. He knows the play well because it’s one of his favorites from the game, one that ended with gold medals around the necks of Wade, Bryant, LeBron James,...

Screen Media announced today the acquisition of all rights to the documentary film Vince Carter: Legacy, which will premiere on the Crackle Plus Networks as an original title in October.
“Air Canada,” “Flying Man” and “Half-Man/Half-Amazing” were just a few nicknames attached to NBA star Vince Carter in his time with the Toronto Raptors, where he won Rookie of the Year honors with his high-flying game. Carter went on to become a Slam-Dunk Contest champion, an eight-time All Star, an Olympic gold medalist and one of the handful of players to score 51 points in a single game. He also may be the only player to ever to dunk on a 7’2″ defender by literally jumping over him.
What might be even more impressive, however, is Carter’s durability. High fly acts generally burn fast and bright, but Carter managed to play an NBA-record 22 seasons and, as his career wound down,...

Apollo Crews will be the WWE name of standout independent wrestler Uhaa Nation. The name was announced during this week’s WWE Nxt broadcast. It was also announced that he’ll make his WWE TV debut at the Nxt Takeover Brooklyn event on August 22.
The inspiration for the name appears to be from the fictional boxer Apollo Creed from the Rocky movies and Crews is the same last name as actor Terry Crews, who has the look of a professional wrestler.
Twitter
He isn’t the first wrestler to do something like that since Christian (Cage) got his name from actors Christian Slater and Nicolas C age. Tyson Kidd got his name from boxer Mike Tyson and basketball player Jason Kidd, so getting names off famous people is more common than you might think.
The reason WWE makes their performers change their names is because they want to trademark everything.

Absolutely nothing to the average focus group. But to Gearbox Software, those fun-loving dreamers behind Borderlands, it’s the makings of a new shooter mash-up, entitled Battleborn. We got a chance to get an early view of this game in pre-alpha.
Battleborn is designed as a cooperative and competitive shooter, complete with pirates, swordsmen, elves, steroid freaks, mushroom killers and piss-on-the-poor, upper class assassins.

Randy’s naked Dwi arrest from August of 2012 has landed the country singer a whopping six months in jail, though chances he will have to serve any time are slim! Read on for all the details.
Though it may have taken five months for Randy Travis to be formally charged with a Dwi on Jan. 11 after he was arrested in Sherman, TX for driving while intoxicated on Aug. 7, the sentencing from his guilty plea has been much swifter. On Jan. 31, the country singer was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
Randy, 53, plead guilty to the misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated on Jan. 31, TMZ reports. According to the Grayson County District Attorney, though he received the 180 day jail sentence, it’s been probated for two years — which means if he can manage to stay out of trouble in that time, he’ll also stay out of jail. He’s also been ordered to pay a $2,000 fine.
