It was a busy night in the NBA but I need to take a second to acknowledge Kevin Klein. The Rangers defenseman had part of his ear ripped off in the first period last night after a high stick by Pittsburgh's Zach Sill. The piece was sewn back and Klein would go on to score the game-winner in overtime. I have a feeling it will make SI's most painful NHL injury moments of the year.

LeBron James met Prince William and Kate (a.k.a. - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) and gave them Cavs shirts before last night's game against the Nets. James wore an "I Can't Breathe" t-shirt in honor of Staten Island victim Eric Garner ... The Clippers beat the Suns on a Blake Griffin three-pointer that clanged around the rim before dropping in. Big Baby is still in shock ... A distraught John Wall broke down in tears after the Wizards beat the Celtics; he was reacting to the death of his 6-year-old friend Miyah, who succumbed to cancer earlier that day.
100 Best GameDay Signs of 2014

Got some time on your hands? I recommend this Indianapolis Monthly feature titled "Larry Bird’s Greatest Shot Was the One He Didn’t Take." The story focuses on Bird's life after Indiana University and how he ended up at Indiana State, though it's much better than the description I just gave.
