OH MY GOD THE KNICKS FETTY WAPPED THE CELTICS IN THE SECOND QUARTER THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE

A weird, wild NBA draft lottery left me (and some team execs) with a weird, maybe-not-so-wild thought: Could the three top picks all get traded? My latest at The Ringer: www.theringer.com/2025/05/15/n...

Wild how the next decade in the NBA changed in one night. Mavericks’ lottery uh, luck, Tatum injury drastically altering the landscape ahead.

The Cavs have a lot of good players. In theory, it's a good problem to have. But that doesn’t change the reality of an offseason decision tree that has a lot more dead branches than promising buds in Cleveland. http://dlvr.it/TKm5LY

IT’S RIGGED

Simply put we need to import British announcers to college football to say things like "left now to rue his choice" about coaches named Chunk Perkins who called for a 47-yard field goal that missed by sixty feet instead of going for it on 4th and 1.

HEY WHATS UP HELLOOOOOOO

LeBron James' comment about Anthony Davis was eyebrow-raising considering the context. His view of the roster, sources say, is part of his calculus this summer. More here on the Lakers' frustrating finish and their uncertain future, w/ @jovanbuha.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

DEEE-TROIT BASKETBALLLL is back. Now comes the hard part. Can the Pistons resist a summer of temptation? New from me, at The Ringer: www.theringer.com/2025/05/02/n...

Michael Johnson thinks track athletes should be better paid. Cue his global league, Grand Slam Track. The Olympic great talks to @adamcrafton.bsky.social about how the league will provide a platform for world-class athletes to demonstrate their talents regularly. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

Nikola Jokic is the smartest basketball player I’ve ever seen, so I spent most of this season working on a story that tries to explain every reason why: www.theringer.com/2025/04/24/n...

I wrote about this a few days ago but the hitch in Franz Wagner's three-point shot is a big deal. He's 0-2 from deep so far: www.theringer.com/2025/04/21/n...

Nice strikeout for Edwin Diaz but the velocity loss is concerning. Topping out at 95 today…

The bank-it-off-James-Harden's-ass buzzer beater had never been attempted before in am NBA game, and it turns out there was a reason for that.

Man good for the Pistons. I’m a NY fan so I’ll be rooting for the Knicks but that’s an awesome turn around story.

It's not just you. This just might be the most angsty, melancholy NBA season we've seen. I wrote about it: www.theringer.com/2025/04/11/n...

The Mets' new minor-league hitting coordinator has a championship pedigree -- in softball. And that's not the most remarkable part of his journey: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6271005/2025/04/11/mets-daniel-nicolaisen-hitting-coordinator-softball/

The winners in the NBA? They exhibit patience. The Suns are not among that group. Phoenix's disastrous season is over, and it's left the organization with only one way out — by trading Devin Booker. http://dlvr.it/TK4X3y

Happy Masters everyone. I am duty bound, for the 12th year in a row (the Masters is about tradition) to post my story about the time I tried to etch my name in Augusta history forever (by eating every concession item in one day) web.archive.org/web/20160302...

Honestly, incredible when you think about it 2021: make the NBA Finals 2022/2023: trade away a decade of draft picks to get superstars to Win Now 2024: swept in first round 2025: miss the playoffs with the most expensive team in the league

saw a Youtube comment yesterday where someone was listing 90s Sonics players and included the name "De La Shrimp." been stuck in my head ever since. De La Shrimp

I wrote about Denver’s shocking decision to fire Michael Malone and Calvin Booth in the final week of the regular season www.theringer.com/2025/04/08/n...

BREAKING: The Nuggets have fired coach Michael Malone, a source tells @samamick.bsky.social. Denver is 47-32, the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Rucking? You mean carrying a backpack

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
