The Oklahoma City Thunder won the draft. This was the first year in my Thunder fandom where I was nervous about the draft. This was going to be the make-or-break it for the rebuild. For Thunder fans in the last ten years, the draft meant drafting raw athletic long-term projects with later picks. Players like Josh Huestis, Terrance Ferguson, and...
It's draft day! The time of year when we welcome the next wave of talent into our league. Outside of the top 3-5 players, this is the first time most fans hear the names of their next favorite player. Admittedly, I only started paying attention to college prospects during March Madness, and that's only through the view of the...
The Chicago Bulls surprised everyone last year by making the biggest splash in free agency, signing Demar Derozan, Alex Caruso, and Lonzo Ball to pair with Zach Lavine and Nikola Vucevic. Safe to say, the Bulls exceed expectations. Before the season, it was unclear how Lavine and Derozan would fit next to each other. They put those conversations to...
This past season's title race was as open as it has been in a long time. There were 4-5 teams with a legitimate shot at winning the NBA championship, and barring an impossible trade of a top-tier superstar (Jokic, Giannis, Luka) to turn the tides for a franchise, next year will be just as competitive. Where do the Los Angeles...
Well, we are in the middle of June during a World Cup year, but unfortunately, we have no games to watch because of FIFA's decision to give the tournament to Qatar. But, with all 32 teams decided, there is plenty of time to make predictions for the tournament that will now be played this November. Since losing to the Czech...
Jamal Musiala is one of the best youth prospects in soccer, but it does not always feel that way. Behind the many stars of Bayern Munich, the 19 year old has taken a back seat since his breakthrough a couple of seasons ago. Well, I am here to say, with the imminent exit of Robert Lewandowski and other changes...
Lost in the disarray of the Sun's embarrassing loss in game 7 against the Dallas Mavericks was the fact that DeAndre Ayton got benched in the second half. When asked to explain the decision after the game, Head Coach Monty Williams told reporters, "it's Internal," Is this the dramatic climax to the drama that started after last year's finals...
This Champions League final promises to be one of the most entertaining we've had in recent years, at least on paper. There are a plethora of great storylines at hand. We have the Ballon d'Or race, and what say Mane could have if he tops Benzema in the final. You have Mo Salah's opportunity for revenge. You have...
The NFL is a copycat league, and the latest trend is how expendable teams are looking at the Wide receiver position. In today's pass-heavy league, it seems Coaches and GMs have determined that the quarterback makes the wide receiver, not the other way around.
With the 4th pick of the 2nd round, the struggling New York Jets selected running back Breece Hall out of Iowa State. The soon to be 21 years old unanimous college All-American was the first running back selected in the draft, and I believe he has the talent to lead the NFL in rushing as a rookie.
