Any postseason glory Tim Duncan takes from these particular NBA playoffs might be bittersweet as he may be going through a divorce at the moment. 

The San Antonio Express-News' Patrick Danner (h/t Slam Online) does a sizable amount of legal sleuthing to uncover what very well might be a pending divorce between Duncan and his wife of over 11 years, Amy. 

So far there has been no confirmation that Duncan is indeed one of the parties featured in divorce documents at the Bexar County District Court. However, Danner spotted evidence to assume that the end of Duncan's season will coincide with a split from his wife. 

The report notes that the pending divorce includes a specific request that, "legal discovery in the case be postponed until after the Spurs' last playoff game."

They get us through timeouts, halftimes and between-innings. No, I am not talking about your smartphones, but the classic entertainment that plays out on Jumbotrons across America.

Nothing sends a warm tingle down the back of the spine like a finger-pointing legal battle between wealthy divorcees now, does it?

If for some reason you felt like your life was lacking the icy tang of baby-mama drama this week, relief is on its way. Steve Nash has found himself locked in a legal battle with his ex-wife, Alejandra Amarilla, who claims the Lakers guard is trying to block her from moving to Los Angeles to avoid paying child support.

According to TMZ, Amarilla has filed court documents alleging that Nash is trying to block her from relocating her and their children from Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, California. 

Allegedly, Nash has asked her not to make the move because he believes he might be traded from the Lakers or have to retire from the game. Amarilla says this isn’t the case, and that the ballplayer is trying to avoid paying out for the huge child support settlement that could be imposed on him under California state law.

Working in the news media industry means working in a business where accuracy is pretty much everything.

We don’t always get it right, but rarely do we ever get it as wrong as Fox Sports did while airing Thursday night’s game between the Kansas City Royals and the Los Angeles Angels, as Awful Announcing points out.

During a break in the action, a graphic arrived on viewers’ screens posing a question for baseball fans: "Which young player would you like to start a franchise with?”

Me? I’ve always wanted to open a Chipotle with Derek Holland, but we can assume they meant “baseball franchise.” We can also assume they didn’t proofread this graphic even once.

Is there a family of “Quicks” on your block? Do you live in Kansas City?

If so, then you might know the fan who ran onto the field during the Royals-Angels game on Thursday night, May 23. He was quick as the bunny rabbit, and at least one cop ate dirt as he pulled off the ultimate baseball heist of stealing the rosin bag, according to Larry Brown Sports. 

It was the bottom of the eighth when the game ratcheted up to Benny Hill chase levels. Angels reliever Michael Kohn was on the mound when the fan hit the field. It was a spectacle only fans in the stadium were able to see in its entirety, but the camera did capture the pivotal moment—the heist.

Someone better teach Koji Uehara proper high-five form before he kills someone.
