For the third year in a row, the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers are facing off in the NBA Finals. Each team has claimed a title over the last two years. This year will settle the argument about which team is greater. And during the epic rubber match, which features some of the best basketball players of this generation, we’ll bear witness to one of the most monumental championship rounds in sports history. The stakes couldn’t be higher for these athletes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s great and all, but Rihanna stole the show.
The Grammy Award-winner is a LeBron James superfan, so she was in attendance for Game 1 to support King James. She was also there to troll Warriors players and Warriors fans, and pretty much everyone had their eyes on her.
It started when she walked in fashionably late, and color commentator Jeff Van Gundy ignored an epic James dunk to let the people at home know the diva had arrived.
At one point, when LeBron lost a ball out of bounds, she let him know it was cool with her by bowing to the King, making Apple’s Senior Vice President Eddy Cue none too happy, which you can see here.
As you can imagine, a rich, dorky white dude calling Rihanna a derogatory slur and telling her to “sit down” hasn’t gone over very well with her fan base. So RiRi’s navy has proceeded to drag him across the internet for the last 16 hours.
But it doesn’t stop there. She dabbed on another Warriors fan and then caught the attention of Kevin Durant, who stared her down after hitting a three-pointer that pretty much sealed the game for Golden State.
After the game, Durant was asked about the stare down, but unlike Eddy Cue, Durant had the good sense to not disrespect Rihanna. Just check out the look between Durant and his teammate Steph Curry when asked the question.
Although the Cavs lost, Rihanna let a troll know that her LeBron fandom had not faded.
Game 2 is Sunday night.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
