Oh, word?

Doc Rivers had a great case to be the NBA's Coach of the Year. He guided a team with no All-Stars to the postseason in the West. He won 48 games with a team that traded away its best player at the deadline to set itself up for free agency and the future.

But, at Monday's NBA Awards, it was Mike Budenholzer of the Bucks who took home the trophy.

And Doc was shocked.

That is the look of a man who expected to walk away from this ceremony with something in his hand.

There's always next year, Doc.

Please, no more hugs

Apparently, Cody Bellinger looks super huggable from the stands at baseball games because two days in a row, a fan has climbed from their seat to attempt to embrace the Dodgers outfielder.

This was Sunday.

And this was Monday.

And Bellinger's reactions to each incident?

Seriously, stop trying to hug Cody Bellinger.

Challenge completed

A couple years back, Kobe Bryant issued challenges to players around the league.

After not getting one, Giannis Antetokounmpo decided to ask for one, and Kobe answered.

And now, Giannis has the trophy to himself and can say he completed Kobe's challenge.
