The Dodgers and the Lakers just won titles in the same month.
What a time we're living in.

- I've seen Shaq do this his entire career. He once bought the Lakers equipment manager a new truck that he didn't even ask for. He bought Mark Madsen and Mike Penberthy all new wardrobes. He bought the entire roster Rolex watches. Most generous athlete I've ever covered.“My motto lately is it could be worse, and that could be you.” Shaq says he goes into stores looking for moms to help out. In this moment, he said he saw a mom at the register who couldn’t afford school laptops for her kids. Shaq stepped up and said, “I got you.” 👏❤️
- Mychal's response to hearing that Klay broke the all-time record for 3's in a game: "14 of 24 from 3? Is that good? I would have thought somebody as good as Klay could make at least 18 if he took 24 shots." Once a Dad, always a Dad.
- The Angels just threw a combined no-hitter while every player was wearing Tyler Skaggs' uniform. There's no way there aren't baseball gods.
- This feels like the Lakers game one of the Finals. Boys in blue are locked in. #Dodgers
- Don't care that they lost. Might be my favorite UCLA team ever.
- My biggest supporter died today. Whenever I’ve had a game for the past 14 years, our statistician, Doug Mann, was the best in the business. He worked with Vin, Chick, Bob Miller, and thank God—Mychal and me. He made all of us better. I hope you, Vin, & Chick are having a laugh 💔
- If there was a Mount Rushmore of LA Sports Announcers, Dick Enberg is on it with Chick Hearn, Vin Scully and Bob Miller. Rams, Angels, UCLA, NBC, and so much more. Was the first famous announcer I ever met, and he couldn't have been nicer. Definition of a gentleman. RIP.
- I may be guilty of being captured by the moment, but I'm pretty sure Tony Romo is the best TV football analyst I've ever heard. Who's better?
- LeBron just advanced to the NBA Finals for the 8th year IN A ROW. He played all 82 games in the regular season. He played all 48 minutes tonight, finishing with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists. He's won 6 straight game 7s. Remind me why people criticize this guy?
- If you love sports, watch this Andre Ingram video today. And I talked to Luke Walton--he's not coming up just to sit. He'll play. Probably in both games. He's been in the G League for 10 years and has played 384 games there. But never made the NBA until now.Never stopped working. Never stopped believing. Never stopped dreaming. We can't wait to see you hit the court for the #LakeShow, Andre.
00:00 - Tony Dungy just nailed it on the Steelers non-catch: "In flag football, high school football, college football, any place you play football other than the NFL, that's a touchdown."
- Millions of Dodgers fans want to handcuff Dave Roberts to the top of that dugout rail right now. Don't even think about taking Urias out of this game. Three. Outs. Away.
- For those asking, here's Rondo's game winner with our @ESPNLosAngeles radio call: (special thanks @JoshWilliams89 )Replying to @AndrewWester24 @tynowell and @LAIreland
