Cavaliers fan living in California decides to troll the Warriors via vanity license plate
The past NBA Finals was a memorable one. For one Cleveland Cavaliers fan living in California, he decided to make sure no one in the Golden State forgets it.
Conor Kaczmarek, a longtime Cavs blogger, decided to sign up and get a vanity license plate with “31 Lead” on it to reminding all Warriors fans of the biggest collapse in Finals history while honor Cleveland’s 3-1 deficit comeback.

To add a cherry on top of it, Kacmarek told [CBS Sports](http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/cavs-fan-purchases-3-1-lead-personalized-license-plate-to-troll-warriors/) that the license plate will be surrounded by a “Cavaliers 2016 NBA Champions” license plate holder.
it's gonna be really great because it'll say 3 1 LEAD and be surrounded by this pic.twitter.com/iLwQxpk1YT — Conrad Kaczmarek (@ConradKaz) September 12, 2016
Well played, Mr. Kaczmarek.
Adrian Beltre slams his 30th home run of the season landing on one knee
Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre is one of Major League Baseball’s hardest hitting sluggers. And on Tuesday night, Beltre demonstrated his power in Houston.
During the top of the second inning in the Rangers vs. Astros game, Beltre launched his 30th home run of the season. But it wasn’t just any plain old home run. Beltre put so much power into his swing that it caused him to lose balance and land on one knee.
According to Statcast, Beltre homer flew at a rate of 107.6 mph, his hardest hit home run in 2016.
Power and looking smooth while doing so: That’s Adrian Beltre’s style.
