The premier of the documentary ‘NYC Point Gods’ brought an NBA crowd Tuesday night to the Midnight Theatre in Manhattan, and the red carpet provided some interesting notes that we’ll detail below. The producer of the film, Kevin Durant, didn’t speak amid his trade request, and his agent, Rich Kleiman, declined to address why his…

Knott’s Berry Farm has tacked on an additional day to its new weekend chaperone policy that went into effect after multiple fights broke out involving teenagers and may extend age restrictions even further to help restore order and confidence at the Buena Park theme park.

Amid a typical NBA calendar, such as the one the league has gotten back to after a pair of pandemic-altered seasons, August tends to be the month of escape. Jimmy Butler touring Europe. Bam Adebayo with a vacation planned with his mother. Pat Riley on the Isle of Capri off the Amalfi. This year, when…

The food is good — nutritional — but not to the young players who have spent their college careers dining on fast food. Meetings seem to take forever, but not…

The one thing that speaks for a designer or artist’s talents is their work. And the best way to feature your work is through a portfolio. A well-built portfolio site gives global exposure to your work and makes it easy for potential clients to reach out to you. Creating a portfolio site shouldn’t be a…

Sometimes in football, as in life, you only need a chance. For Terrell Buckley, it comes in the form of a head coaching job in the XFL. After a stellar playing career as an All-American cornerback at Florida State and in the NFL — and assistant coaching in stops at FSU, Louisville, Mississippi State and…

At least the pandemic had a silver lining. It taught parents that there are better alternatives to government schools. When COVID hit, bureaucrats in control were eager to close schools. Many closed them if just one child tested positive, even though COVID is little threat to kids. Union teachers seemed eager to be paid not…

Q: If Boston has now set the mark that an All-Star needs to be included in the package for Kevin Durant, it should be Jimmy Butler and not Bam Adebayo. The combination of Butler and Durant is simply not as lethal as a combination of Bam and Durant. Not to mention, having two 34-year-olds is…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — José Suarez pitched one of his best games of the season on Tuesday night, while giving the team hope that perhaps he’s discovered something that will make a long-term difference for the 24-year-old left-hander. Suarez threw more sliders than he ever had before in the Angels’ 6-0 victory over the Kansas…

R.J. Hampton, the third-year Orlando Magic guard, was in the same position during the spring of 2019 many ubertalented boys basketball players find themselves in the latter stages of high school. He had his sights on the NBA but had a decision to make about the one year between graduating and being eligible for the…

Tears started to fill Willson Contreras’ red-rimmed eyes. For months the Chicago Cubs All-Star catcher had kept thoughts about his future at bay. Free agency, the trade deadline, all the uncertainties after 13 years with the only big-league organization he has known — those were things to worry about later. He had maintained since spring…

The first game of the 2022 Subway Series hit all the notes one would expect. Players on both sides stepping up, delivering big home runs and scintillating defensive plays? Check. Fans of both teams displaying behavior that should probably get them institutionalized? You bet. A game time well over three hours? Absolutely. “Was that under…

Nikki Spoelstra, the wife of Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, posted on Instagram on Friday evening a heartfelt message detailing a health issue that has affected their 4-year-old son, Santiago.

Fourteen years in the making downtown, the Jackie Robinson Museum opened its doors to friends and supporters Tuesday.
