KiKi VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President of NBA basketball Operations explained to USA TODAY Sports: “Why we want to be fully transparent on the (calls) we missed and certainly the ones we do well on.”
Was LSU’s Ben Simmons’ Australian high School coach Kevin Gorian was right on target when he told USA TODAY Sports: “He is going to be the best basketballer Australia has produced. He (Simmons) is the No0. 1 pick. It’s clear.”
Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. is being counted on to top the University’s Houston’s last season’s 13-1 report card and lead the Cougars’ to the national title. But Ward says: “We’re just worrying about what today holds.”
Check This! Did the selectors name the GSWs’ Stephen Curry MVP for the season before the Playoffs were over? . Why the question? Reason! Several other players have played in more games as MVPs than Curry, Included in his group are the OKCs’ Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. . Durant’s 27 points made him look like an MVP as he led the Thunder to a 133-105 victory to take a 2-1 lead in game 3 of the Western Conference series.
As this is written, LeBron James et al had a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference race. . LeBron’s play was the answer for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ winning ways. . The Cavs had posted a 10-0 Payoff report card going into game three in the Western Conference Finals. LeBron’s triple doubles was the highlights of game two. However, Toronto spoiled this perfect record with a (99-84) upset win in game three as the Cavs countered to lead in the series with a 2-1 mark.

Brian Shaw, former Lakers player and assistant coach, should be newly named Lakers head coach Luke Walton’s assistants before the next edition. Walton and Shaw played the same roles on Phil Jackson’s Lakers’ clubs. Shaw posted a 56-85 in two years with Denver Nuggets before he was let go.
Sloane Stephens, one of the few female tennis stars of color has recently won three major matches. Sisters, Serena and Venus and Madison Keys are also tennis players that are consistent women winners of color
Stephen Curry told Sports Illustrated’s Lee Jenkins: “The Voice of the Warriors Dares You To Define him.” Curry made this headline come as he helped the Warriors bounce to knot the Western finals playoff at 1-1 in cooling down OKC’s Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Curry announced to the world he’s back, Draymond Green is a versatile man when it comes to defense. Do you agree the GSW’s Stephen Curry is the NBA’s best player and greatest entertainer? I do! However on a one and one I would have to pick the Cavs’ LeBron James over Curry,
