James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Athletes were given an unforgettable moment at the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles when they were joined by celebrities for a game of basketball. Metta World Peace, Dikembe Mutumbo, Doc Rivers, Michelle Beadle and more teamed up with the Special Olympics athletes.

Metta drained a three from the corner, Dikembe had fun playing keep away and Beadle couldn’t help making fun of Doc Rivers’ age. It was a fantastic event for everyone involved.
