COMMENT BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: It was the shot that breathed new life into an old debate while simultaneously giving the younger of heart a reason to yell at the newer clouds. By now, you'll have seen the pictures - they're both on the right and elsewhere on Thursday and elsewhere. One of Michael Jordan's last dance with the Chicago Bulls 25 years ago and the jump shot that bookended a remarkable body of work. The other is Lebron James, who is in a similar situation with the same result, and the two are worth more points than any bouncer of a basketball in history.

While on the PGA Tour to appear at'many tournaments,' a two-time Masters champion and LIV Golf Series pro Bubba Watson said he was 'paid behind closed doors.'
