The proud and storied Puerto Rico national basketball team has no practice court and little funding in the wake of Hurricane Marias devastation, but it remains undaunted and determined to recruit a prodigal son to wear the island nations uniform. If Carmelo Anthony wants a new team, Puerto Rico has a No. 15 jersey awaiting him. Anthony and the Houston Rockets are parting ways, leaving the 10-time All-Star searching for a landing spot in the NBA once the franchise waives him. For Puerto Rico, an association with Anthony, 34, and its national team could go a long way for the beleaguered island. Officials want Anthony to know: Theres an open invitation. With his connection to Puerto Rico, his NBA stardom and his experiences, our fans would love it, said Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea, who has been a cornerstone of the national team and a tireless advocate in Puerto Ricos relief efforts. We tried a bunch to...

Ahead of this weeks UCLA- USCrivalry game,a well-known UCLA statue was vandalized with red and yellow paint, according to school police. Sometime this week, vandals broke into a wooden box intended to protect the Bruin Bear, a focal point on campus, and spray-painted USC colors on the body and foundation of the statue, UCLA police lieutenant Kevin Kilgore said. The only thing we have determined is that someone pried the wooden box open that the bear hibernates in this time of year, Kilgore said, referring to the standard rivalry-week security. The Bruin Bear is one of a few landmarks on campus that received extra protection in the days leading up to the USC game. Across town, USC wraps Tommy Trojan, a statue and one of the schools most famous landmarks, in duct tape before playing UCLA. Earlier this week, USC athletic director Lynn Swann delivered cookies and hot chocolate to the USC students protecting their statues. ...

The car used by Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as a high school senior is headed to the auction block. The 2003 Hummer H2 will go up for auction by Goldin Auctions on Monday, and the car will be sold on Dec. 8. Goldin Auctions president Ken Goldin said he feels the car is definitely a six figure piece. The car became the subject of an investigation by Ohio basketball officials before documentation cleared questions of LeBrons eligibility when it became apparent that his mother Gloria took out a $50,000 loan to pay for the car. She had given it to him for his 18th birthday. The car was bought in 2013 for an undisclosed sum. It has been displayed at the Greater Cleveland Auction since. The Kelley Blue Book value of the car is only worth about $18,000, though that doesnt account for the custom sound system and TVs that James had installed. Just last month, Walter Paytons 1979 Porsche was sold in Chicago for...
