NBA Playoffs
- Spurs sweep: they’ve proven to be the best in the west, it’ll be interesting to see if they can get another championship; it’s been a while
- Miami and Indiana battling it out in the Eastern Conference finals: definitely an entertaining series, I’m pretty sure this definitely won’t be the last time we see these two teams in the conference finals; Pacers have proven to be a very worthy opponent to the Heat, this one could go to 7

NHL playoffs
I don’t really watch hockey, but the past two games have been insane!
- LA Kings defeat San Jose Sharks in game 7, defending champs trying to repeat
- Chicago Blackhawks beat the Red Wings in OT, another Game 7 nailbiter

Soccer
- MLS season is up and going, along with the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) with a lot of exciting matches
* note: you can watch/stream all NWSL games online at the NWSL youtube channel here

- USWNT have a friendly match against Canada this weekend June 2nd — it’ll be the first time the two have played against each other since the EPIC Olympic semifinal 2012 (US came back 3 times, to only have Alex Morgan score in extra time).
* note: the game will be broadcast on ESPN news

- USMNT: mehhhh, losing a friendly to Belgium 4–2, they have Germany this Sunday which will be a very… interesting match, and then they have World Cup qualifiers which are the ones that REALLY count.

- International: Congrats to Bayern Munich for winning the Champions League. Congrats to FC Barcelona for winning the La Liga title.
