excuse me, what
NBA Players Drinking Breast Milk, And More Of This Week's Best Sports Moments
False alarm everyone, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. The Boston Celtics have been eliminated, and that means the Denver Nuggets will most likely win in a sweep or gentlemen's sweep over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Nobody has to hear about the Red Sox coming back in a reverse sweep in 2004 anymore, we can all go back to living our lives in peace from Boston fans.
Apologizes to Annie, Digg's social media expert and guru, who will have to wait many more months until she can get angry about her Boston teams again.
Now we can get onto the moments of the week, with peace of mind. Thank you, Miami, you did your jobs for all of us Boston haters.
MVP of the Week: Raheem Morris
Rams DC Raheem Morris helps save drowning child, credits AED training.

Incredible, life saving reaction by Morris. https://t.co/wJ1aP9um3C
Raheem Morris was in Las Vegas and saw a child drowning in a pool, and didn't hesitate to help. He asked "where is the AED?", rushed over to get it and helped doctors open it. AED is an acronym for "automatic external defibrillator" and the only reason Morris knew about it was that the Rams had first aid training. Reggie Scott, the team's VP of sports medicine and performance, taught the team and coaching staff about CPR and AEDs. The child in question is doing okay now, and has been discharged from the hospital.

This was a real controversy for a day, until it got pointed out this was a non-story. And then Miami won anyways.

1,765 miles: Boston to Denver

1,724 miles: Miami to Denver
you're telling me you think it's offensive that a team who could play in Denver at altitude would fly straight there to get acclimated after a grueling 7-game series instead of flying an additional 1,258 miles back to…
The Oakland A's are currently 12-46.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver:
Adam Silver on Ja Morant: “We’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information. We probably could have brought it to a head now, but we’ve made the decision that it would be unfair to these players and these teams to announce that decision in the middle of this series.”

We should note that the NBA Finals have never been on cable, they were either ABC or NBC so he could have watched it at any point.
