Pat Summitt won more games than any men's or women's coach in college basketball history.

The Cavaliers will bring the city of Cleveland its first professional championship since 1964.

The Sixers own the first selection in what is considered by many to be a two-player draft between LSU’s Ben Simmons and Duke’s Brandon Ingram.

Next up: LeBron James, who hasn't missed the NBA finals since "The Decision," and the heavily favored Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron James never did it. Neither did Magic Johnson or Larry Bird, or Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. Even Michael Jordan never did it. But on Tuesday, Stephen Curry did. After a record-breaking season, he became the first player in N.B.A. history to be elected most valuable player by a unanimous vote.

The league also said...

Kobe Bryant's 30,699th and final field goal came from 19 feet with 31 seconds left against the Utah Jazz.
