Police and California Highway Patrol officers shut down ramps leading to the Los Angeles downtown area after the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Finals on Sunday. Thousands of people gathered outside Staples Center after the team beat the Miami Heat in the bubble in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, created to protect players from the coronavirus. Celebrations were mostly peaceful, but some rocks and bottles were thrown at officers, KABC-TV reported. Videos posted online showed cars doing "donuts" and fireworks being set off in the street, which is illegal without a permit, KCAL-TV reported.
“I’m fine, thanks for asking,” Curry said Saturday night. Of course the accident ended in typical Steph way: with a selfie taken with the California Highway Patrol officers, which was posted on Instagram with a reminder to wear your seat belts. What Kerr meant, by calling Curry a unicorn, was that he’s that elusive magical creature that appears only in fantasies. And while NBA general managers may search far and wide for “a Curry” they probably never will find one.
California Highway Patrol Officer Herman Baza said Curry stopped in the center median and as he waited for officers to arrive, another sedan lost control and rear-ended his Porsche. Baza said no one was injured or arrested and that rain was a factor in the crash.

Warriors Star Steph Curry was just involved in a three-car crash. The crash happened just before 9 a.m. on Westbound Highway 24 on the Oakland side of the Caldecott Tunnel. A California Highway Patrol spokesman said Curry was hit twice; first a car spun out and hit him, then a second car rear-ended him. Curry's Porsche was damaged. But everyone, including Curry, appears to be okay. The CHP says weather likely played a role.

With the conclusion of a police investigation, prosecutors will decide whether to file charges against famed basketball player Dennis Rodman in an alleged hit-and-run accident, officials said Thursday. The star player formerly known as “The Worm” has not been cited or arrested, said California Highway Patrol officer Florentino Olivera, but the agency recommended the Orange County District Attorney’s office charge Rodman with felony hit-and-run and driving the wrong way on a freeway. The potential charges stem from a 12:30 a.m. July 20 Santa Ana crash in which a black BMW sedan traveled south in the carpool lane on the 5 freeway. Officials allege Rodman was driving a white luxury SUV north in the southbound carpool lane.

We spoke with the California Highway Patrol to find out if they're investigating the situation and they told us straight up -- no. "The CHP is not investigating this video because it’s not at the level of reckless driving," CHP public information officer Daniel Hill tells us. Driving over 100, though dangerous, is not necessarily reckless. It would just be an infraction and we can’t investigate an infraction that wasn’t committed in our presence."
