Arnold Schwarzenegger unhurt after taking a flying kick in the back from a ‘mischievous fan’

Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared completely unaffected after a man surprised a gym full of people with a flying, two-footed drop kick to the former California governor’s back during a public appearance Saturday near Johannesburg.

Schwarzenegger, 71, was recording a Snapchat video with fans as part of his annual Arnold Classic Africa event when the unidentified assailant ran toward him and threw himself feet-first at the Terminator. Video shows Schwarzenegger jolt forward but stay on his feet as the man hits him and falls to the ground, where he was quickly subdued by a security guard.

“I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you," Schwarzenegger tweeted shortly after the attack. "I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat.”

“By the way ... block or charge?” he wrote in another tweet, an amusing homage to former NBA player Rex Chapman’s Twitter-video meme.

We have 90 sports here in South Africa at the @ArnoldSports, and 24,000 athletes of all ages and abilities inspiring all of us to get off the couch. Let’s put this spotlight on them.

And if you have to share the video (I get it), pick a blurry one without whatever he was yelling so he doesn’t get the spotlight.

The annual Arnold Classic Africa event is bringing together 24,000 athletes for three days of competition in the affluent Johannesburg suburb of Sandton. In another tweet after the attack, Schwarzenegger urged his followers to ignore his assailant and instead “put this spotlight” on the athletes “inspiring all of us to get off the couch.”

As he was being dragged away by the security guard, the kicker apparently shouted, “Help me! I need a Lamborghini!” repeatedly. A site promoting Johannesburg tourism proudly boasts of the exotic cars of Sandton, which it calls “the richest square mile in Africa,” but according to sales figures from South Africa’s auto manufacturers’ association, Lamborghinis are the rarest brand in the country.

In a statement, event organizer Wayne Price said he “believes this incident was carefully planned by the offender, as he is known to the police for orchestrating similar events in the past.” Despite this history, Price says, “None of us could have foreseen that something like this could have taken place.”

The statement said that Schwarzenegger has no intention of pressing charges against the drop-kicker. “He views this as an unfortunate event by a mischievous fan.”

Schwarzenegger was back on social media Sunday, posting a selfie video showing a martial arts demonstration in the background.

The video also showed that Schwarzenegger still has jokes: “I’m so lucky that none of those girls drop-kicked me yesterday,” he said.

the Warriors aren’t better without Kevin Durant?

We have that and more in Sunday’s NBA newsletter.

Everyone keeps saying that it’s absurd to claim that the Warriors are better with Kevin Durant. This makes a lot of sense: Durant is one of the best players in the world, and the Warriors have won the past two NBA championships with him while losing the NBA Finals the year prior to his arrival. Durant was the MVP of the Finals in each of the past two years. Over the past two seasons, Durant has been the best player on the Warriors.

But then how do we explain why the Warriors were 7-4 with Durant this postseason and are 4-0 without him, including Saturday’s Game 3 in Portland to go up 3-0 on the Blazers?

Are we absolutely sure the Warriors aren’t better without KD?

Draymond Green has been incredible lately, and did it again on Saturday. Stephen Curry was excellent, too. The Warriors miss Durant in very specific ways (especially when possessions break down) but also thrive in his absence in very specific ways. Portland doesn’t have a wing scorer to require Durant’s long, agile defense. Thompson and even Curry are doing outstanding jobs making life difficult for the exhausted Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, and not having Jusuf Nurkic hurts the Blazers even more in this series than in the prior two.

It’s probably just a confluence of factors making the Warriors look like a revelation just one win from a fifth straight NBA Finals: Blazers injury and wear, Green’s ecstatic performance, a hot stretch for Curry. Perhaps with Durant the Warriors would be not just winning these games, but winning them in blowouts.

But we can’t rule out completely that the Original Warriors are feeling themselves in the absence of KD, knowing that he’s been flirting with an offseason exit all year and preparing for life without him for real. Maybe they just want to remind us all -- and most especially the other teams in the NBA -- that even if Durant does leave they are still the champions until someone says otherwise.

Eibar vs Barcelona, La Liga: Final Score 2-2, Barça finish league season with depressing draw

 May 19, 2019, 6:10pm CEST

The last La Liga match of the season had a similar feel for Barcelona fans: poor play, bad defending, some luck, and a lot of Lionel Messi. The Blaugrana totally deserved to lose the league finale away to Eibar, but the greatest player of all time scored twice in 60 seconds to save his team from losing and finish their championship campaign with 87 points.

FIRST HALF

Eibar started the game as the dominant force, using possession well and creating a crazy amount of chances in the first 20 minutes that forced Jasper Cillessen into a few key saves. Barça had a few good moments on the counter, but Jordi Alba always made a bad decision on the final pass despite finding himself in great attacking positions.

The home team deserved to score, and they did on a hilarious play: after a cross from Cote on the left, Gerard Piqué slipped inside the box and the ball found Barça loanee Marc Cucurella, who fired a powerful shot that hit Cillessen’s leg and found the back of the net. Eibar increased the pressure even more after scoring, while Barça showed zero creativity on the final third and constantly gave the ball away.

And then, in one amazing minute, Barça turned the game completely around: first Arturo Vidalplayed a gorgeous pass through to Lionel Messi, who easily scored the equalizer; then right from kickoff, Barça recovered the ball, Ivan Rakitic played a great pass in space to put Messi alone in front of goal, and the captain chipped the keeper to give the visitors a shocking 2-1 lead.

Eibar were not deflated by the sudden change of events and continued to press high and try to create chances, and they found an equalizer right before halftime in another hilarious play: Cillessen cleared a long ball from Eibar with his head at the edge of the box but was slow to get back to his goal, and Pablo De Blasis decided to try a shot from 35 yards to see if he could catch Cillessen of guard. It worked. Incredible goal, and Eibar were back in the game.

At halftime, a very entertaining match for the neutrals was all square, and Barça had 45 minutes to leave some kind of good impression in the season finale.

SECOND HALF

There wasn’t much action in the second half. Eibar continued to be the team with more intent and hunger on the pitch, and their press kept causing problems for the Barça defense. But they weren’t as good at creating chances, and Cillessen didn’t really have much work to do for most of the period.

Barça weren’t good at all in the second half, struggling to beat the press and find good passes in the final third. They also allowed Eibar some dangerous counter attacks, and in one of them Cucurella had a giant chance to give his team the lead but somehow sent a shot from eight yards into the stands.

That ended up being the only real chance of the final period, and the final whistle came to end a very depressing 90 minutes for the champions. If this is what we’re seeing in the Copa del ReyFinal, congratulations to Valencia!
