Two years ago, DeMarcus Cousins was leading LeFlore High to the 5A state basketball tournament. Now the Sacramento Kings hope he can lead them to an NBA title.

Sacramento selected the 6-foot-11, 290-pound Cousins with the fifth overall pick of the NBA draft on Thursday night. Cousins, considered one of the best frontcourt players in the draft, averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds last season as a freshman at Kentucky and will now join a squad that has added some serious size with Cousins and recently acquired 6-11 former 76ers center Samuel Dalembert.

WIMBLEDON, England — Even the scoreboard couldn’t keep up.

The electronic sign keeping track courtside as the points passed and the game totals rose went blank while 23rd-seeded John Isner of Tampa, Fla., and qualifier Nicolas Mahut of France played — and played and played — the longest match in tennis history, until action was suspended because of darkness at 59-59 in the fifth set Wednesday night at Wimbledon.

“Nothing like this will ever happen again. Ever,” Isner said in a courtside TV interview.
