SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It’s LeBron vs. Steph on the big stage, Take V.With a slightly different look in the playoffs these days for two of the game’s greatest players.“Just two of the most competitive players that have ever played this game,” James said Monday. “We want to etch our name in the history books as much as we can, and we’re playing our own way. I’ve got nothing but the greatest admiration and respect for Steph.”Curry and Draymond Green reflect back on Golden State’s many memorable NBA Finals battles with James and marvel how they’re all still playing such high-level basketball so many years later.Yet this Western Conference semifinal matchup starting Tuesday is new for everybody: Curry, Green, Klay Thompson and these Warriors have never faced LeBron’s Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs — even if they’re plenty familiar with James himself.“It is special to know the first series we played him in Cleveland in the ’14-15 to now, we’re blesse...Gwyneth Paltrow won’t recoup attorney fees in ski crash suit

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Gwyneth Paltrow will not recoup the attorneys’ fees she paid to successfully defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a posh Utah ski resort in 2016.In a ruling published on Saturday, a Utah judge said attorneys for Paltrow and Terry Sanderson had agreed to drop the matter of Paltrow’s attorneys’ fees. District Court Judge Kent Holmberg’s final judgment did not detail why the matter of attorneys’ fees that Paltrow sought in her 2019 countersuit was dropped.The judgment affirmed the jury’s unanimous verdict finding Terry Sanderson — the man who collided with Paltrow — to be “100% at fault,” awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit. It also said Sanderson would not appeal the verdict, effectively ending a protracted legal battle seven years after the two crashed on a beginner run near the base of Deer Valley Resort in Utah.Repr...California sues Elk Grove over housing project for homeless

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — When developers in the California city of Elk Grove pitched two new housing projects last year, the proposals appeared to have much in common: Both would build new housing in a quaint section of the city affectionately known as “Old Town” for its attractive stretch of historic buildings.One project was for people who could afford to purchase homes at the market rate in a state with some of the most expensive home prices in the nation. The other project was for people who were homeless. City officials approved the market rate project. But the homeless project has stalled as officials in the growing suburb of Sacramento argued it was not eligible to be fast-tracked under a 2017 state housing law.Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration jointly sued the Elk Grove, arguing city officials broke the law by denying the project and accusing them of discriminating against low income families. The lawsuit escala...Met Gala fashion: Bündchen, Lipa, Campbell on vintage train

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga will have arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone spur from his pitching elbow and likely will be sidelined until August.New York manager Aaron Boone said head team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad will operate Tuesday and Loáisiga will not be able to throw for three to six weeks. Loáisiga, 28, had been out since April 5 with right elbow inflammation.“After a few days of throwing, it wasn’t bothering him throwing, and then he came in one day and had the swelling, which they think is related to that spur. So they got to get it out of there,” Boone said before Monday’s series opener against Cleveland. New York put captain Aaron Judge on the 10-day IL with a strained right hip, a move retroactive to Friday. Center fielder Harrison Bader could be activated during the series against the Guardians.

AURORA (KDVR) -- Golfers are doing double takes at Meadow Hills Golf Course these days, because what they think they see, is actually true — scooters on the golf course.Golf is a game of tradition, so when someone spots something that is not traditional on the links, that someone is going to look. And a golf scooter is most definitely not traditional.“A couple years ago the guys in the pro shop wanted to just offer a different alternative for a way to get around the golf course. Instead of just either riding in a cart or walking,” said Karin “K-Lo” Rivale, Aurora Parks & Recreation.Right now, Meadow Hills is the only Aurora golf course that has the scooters. They cost $4,000 each. They are called PHAT Scooters. They are specially designed with wide tires to use safely on golf courses, similar to golf carts.
