Former NBA player and human rights advocate Enes Kanter Freedom joined OutKick’s Dan Dakich on the Thursday edition of Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich. During the show, Dakich and Freedom discussed Kyrie Irving, who despite signing a lucrative deal with Chinese athletic company, Anta, insists that he’s a warrior for social justice.
For obvious reasons, those two things don’t exactly jive.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted arguably the biggest ‘feel good’ story of 2023 to social media on Thursday.
“No more sleeping on a gym couch.”
The selfless story of UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo reached tremendous heights when the retired professional wrestler and actor gifted the inspirational athlete with a new house in Miami.
After only previously exchanging messages on Twitter, the 51-year-old Johnson shared the emotional surprise meeting.
Michigan State is one of the biggest brands in college basketball. The Spartans are as close to a “blue blood” program as it gets, if they’re not one already.
As a result, the NIL opportunities that surround the program’s star athletes are endless. There is the collective element to Name, Image and Likeness, but there is also the most localized advertising side of things.
A.J. Hoggard and Tre Holloman recently got involved with the latter.
Hoggard is a former four-star recruit. He averaged 12.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game as a junior last season.

Kyrie Irving took some time out of his day Thursday to show one of his longest rivals some love. The Mavericks star posted a video of some Russell Westbrook highlights on Instagram with a message for the veteran point guard.
“Let’s not pretend this Dude right here didn’t revolutionize the Game and inspire all of us to do things YOUR way and say f**k em ALL,” Irving wrote on his Instagram story.
Westbrook revolutionizing the game is debatable, because quite frankly there’s never been another player who can do what he does.

NBA trends tend to take their time trickling down to the college game. Several modern concepts—how to use pace and space offensively, a ball-screen-centric style of play—are just now beginning to influence college basketball. And as high-profile moves at some of the nation’s biggest programs over the past week have shown, the NBA and basketball’s global tilt has officially reached college hoops.
Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good. That’s no more true in sports than the game of golf. Every golfer knows the feeling of hitting a great shot that turns out terrible. But occasionally, that bad shot turns out great. Peter Malnati hit a bad putt on his 18th hole of the first round of the Wyndham Championship … but it still went in.
Sitting at even par on the day, Malnati arrived at the 18th tee. The final hole at Sedgefield Country Club is one of the toughest on the course.
It’s a 503-yard par-4.
Details have emerged regarding an incident involving pitcher Domingo Germán a day after the Yankees said the pitcher was being placed on the restricted list to undergo inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse.
According to SNY’s Andy Martino, Germán “grew belligerent” in the clubhouse Tuesday night and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and “did not appear in control of his emotions.” It’s unclear whether there was any type of altercation or if any of his teammates were involved.
