It’s always dangerous to get conclusive about a draft class before the picks are called, let alone before the players step on the court, but the preliminary consensus among scouts and experts is that 2022 is top heavy. Specifically, there are four players that sit as the cream. So for the Knicks, who enter the draft lottery at No. 11, the drawing of Ping Pong balls Tuesday night in Chicago is consequential. Potentially franchise altering. There is a decent enough chance for them to crack the top-4 (9.4%) to pay attention, and the reaction of the always demonstrative William Wesley, who is sitting for the Knicks on the dais , will be worth a view regardless of the outcome. And if the Knicks’ lottery luck changes and the franchise moves up in the lottery for the first time since 1985, here’s a breakdown of the four prospective rewards (we’re ignoring that the team could also use such a lucrative pick to trade for a star. Ahem, Donovan Mitchell): JABARI SMITH JR. AGE: … [Read more...] about The tantalizing possibilities of the Knicks’ best-case lottery scenario

A Georgia university is in mourning after the sudden deaths of two student-athletes who recently helped the school win a title. Stephen Bartolotta and Jacob Brown, freshman pitchers at LaGrange University, were killed in a car crash on Saturday, only hours after their team, the Panthers, won the conference championship. The team defeated North Carolina Wesleyan and won its way into the NCAA Division III national championship, according to 11 Alive News. The pair had been celebrating with the rest of the team before the crash took place. Georgia State Patrol responded to the incident at around 9:15 p.m. local time, finding that three vehicles had been involved in the crash. Alongside Bartolotta and Brown, the Troup County coroner confirmed one other death caused by the crash, that of 24-year-old Rico Dunn. Brown and Bartolotta were pronounced dead at the scene. "Coming on the heels of the team's conference championship win yesterday, this news hits our baseball players … [Read more...] about Baseball players killed in crash after winning title mourned by university

Nazem Kadri is prepared for whatever shenanigans might develop in Game 1 Tuesday of the Western Conference semifinals against St. Louis. The Avalanche center might be asked to fight for the third time in four meetings against the Blues this season. Or, he could be targeted for big hits and taunted. What is known is that St. Louis will try to take Kadri off his game. Just as the Avs will try to make it uneasy for the Blues’ stars. There is no forgetting in hockey, however, and for TNT/Blues analyst Darren Pang, the bad blood between Kadri and the Blues is a juicy storyline heading into Game 1 at Ball Arena. “No question about it. Every single time there is a skirmish or a hit, it’s one of those individual battles you don’t take your eyes off of, and you wonder if there’s anything more, is something else going to happen?” Pang said in a phone interview. The anniversary of Kadri’s check-to-the-head of Blues defenseman Justin Faulk is Thursday, which will be Game 2 of the … [Read more...] about Will Nazem Kadri be a marked man against St. Louis?

BALTIMORE — After taking over as the American League ERA leader on Sunday, Nestor Cortes took down his Twitter account. While the 27-year-old was on the mound in Chicago, fans had combed through his social media accounts and found Tweets and Instagram posts from 2012-2015 where he used a racial slur. Some of his tweets appeared to be quoting from rap lyrics. Cortes took responsibility Monday. “I hate myself for having done that, it’s not who I am or want to be,” Cortes said. “I found out about it [the social media posts going viral], I sought out help on how to handle it and I am taking a break so that going forward I can use [social media] in the right way. I want to have a good message, especially for kids.” While Cortes was mowing down the White Sox Sunday , fans of a Yankees rival found the tweets and social media posts and put them together. At the time of the posts, Cortes would have between 17 and 20 years old. “I didn’t know how it happened, but it doesn’t … [Read more...] about Nestor Cortes deletes his Twitter account after old tweets surface: ‘It’s not who I am’

C ongratulations to Jake Daniels , the Blackpool FC player who has come out as gay aged 17, becoming the first active male player to come out at the top of the British male game since Justin Fashanu , who tragically took his own life in 1998. Conversations have spiralled for decades about why male footballers haven’t come out when statistically there are obviously gay men playing – and by contrast, the women’s team is replete with “out” players. Daniels becoming the first openly gay professional player in 30 years should be rightly praised, but questions remain: namely, why has it taken so long? In many ways, football feels like the last bastion of sexual intolerance; the last sport where you can’t say you’re gay, even though rugby, cricket and swimming have all had openly gay players for years. And while not enough praise can be heaped on Daniels for coming out, the reality of the scale of representation at the top of the Premier League is woeful. While football … [Read more...] about Jake Daniels is a hero – more LGBT+ football players should follow suit
