Stephen A. Smith is opening up about the moment he nearly went toe-to-toe with LeBron James on an arena floor. Smith told Kevin Garnett he wanted to confront the King directly but held back, saying flat out it was going to be a scene. The tension between these two runs deep, and clearly it hasn't cooled off.
Shifting to the gridiron, Aaron Rodgers is knocking on history's door. One more win puts him level with Drew Brees for fourth on the all-time victories list. That's a number that carries serious weight, and Rodgers is right there within reach at a stage in his career when most had already written his chapter closed.
And across the pond, Manchester United are moving fast. The club has opened talks with Mauricio Pochettino about taking over from Michael Carrick, who looks set to lose the job. Pochettino knows the Premier League inside out from his Tottenham days, and United are clearly looking for a name with pedigree to steady the ship at Old Trafford.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
