LeBron James reacts during a game against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 17, 2019 in Los Angeles.
The women of Team USA were on fire this past week. The U.S. women’s sitting volleyball team capped off its undefeated season at the World ParaVolley Super 6, speedskater Brittany Bowe kicked off the world cup season with two medals, and Para sprinter Deja Young defended her world title. Also, legendary tennis duo Bob and Mike Bryan announced they will be retiring in 2020, and LeBron James had a special visitor at the Lakers game on Sunday. Did you miss anything? It's OK, we've got you covered.
Unstoppable

9. We love some good throwback photos. Paralympian Tatyana McFadden reflects on the day she was adopted from Russia, and it’s the sweetest thing we’ve seen in a while.
#fbf to adopted day. Many first’s happened in these photos. My very first wheelchair that I used just only while I was in #Russia 🇷🇺( had a new one waiting for me in the US). My very first time trying ice cream which I asked to be heated because I didn’t understand why it cold😅 pic.twitter.com/TQyxA5iy8d
