How the legend of ‘Lead Us Kevin’ became the Miami Heat’s ultimate talking point

MIAMI – The legend of “Lead Us Kevin” dates only to late February, but it already has become lore in the Miami Heat locker room, replete with accompanying T-shirts. It also has spawned “Lead Us Max” and “Lead Us Kyle” and, this past Saturday, “Lead Us Cody.” But the leading man with the team’s new catchphrase is veteran power forward Kevin Love and it started in the most innocuous fashion by the most trite of comments from assistant coach Chris Quinn. “It was like a shooting drill that Chris Quinn was  running in practice,” Heat forward Max Strus told the Sun Sentinel ahead of Monday night’s...

By BETH HARRIS (AP Racing Writer) LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — After seven deaths raised questions about the future of horse racing, Mage earned a surprising Kentucky Derby victory on Saturday, capping a nerve-rattling day that included two more fatalities ahead of the 149th edition of the world’s most famous race. Mage, a 15-1 shot, had only one win in his career, giving little indication that he could triumph against 17 rivals in a race that is not kind to the inexperienced. Still, he made a gutsy stretch run, overtaking Two Phil’s to his inside and winning by a length. Mage, who didn’t race as...
