Less than halfway through the season, the AL MVP race appears over. And it’s not even close. Shohei Ohtani is playing the best baseball of his career for the best Angels team of his career.
If not for Aaron Judge hitting 62 home runs last year, Ohtani would be looking at a third straight MVP. Think about this when you want a quick appreciation of the wonder of Ohtani: The same guy who leads the major leagues in home runs (22, tied with Pete Alonso) also is the toughest pitcher to hit (5.6 hits per nine innings).
There’s a common misconception about just how much strength and conditioning it takes to drive a Formula One car, week in and week out. With intense g-forces placed on drivers throughout the laps of a circuit, a race can certainly take a physical toll on the body. But it’s also equally important for drivers to be striving for peak performance mentally—that’s where Michael Italiano comes in.
Ja Morant will be handed a 25-game suspension by the NBA for his second offense of flashing a gun on Instagram Live. The suspension comes exactly 34 days after the video of Morant holding a gun inside a vehicle went viral.
The NBA released a statement about Morant’s suspension and confirmed he will not be paid during his time away from the Memphis Grizzlies.
“The league office found that, on May 13, Morant intentionally and prominently displayed a gun while in a care with several other individuals as they were leaving a social gathering in Memphis,” the statement reads in part.
The NBA is suspending Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant 25 games, the league announced on Friday.
Morant has been suspended indefinitely by the Grizzlies last month following an incident where he was seen holding a gun on an Instagram Live video. It was the second incident this year involving Morant and a firearm, the first of which resulted in an eight game suspension after he brought a gun into a Denver nightclub.

How Jamal Murray meditated, celebrated and visualized his way to the top of the NBA.
There are some things you grow into, others out of, and rare things that never leave you. When Jamal Murray first shot an arrow it was at his Kentucky Wildcat teammate, E. J. Floreal, watching from the bench. Murray had fired off a corner 3-pointer, springing up in the air with enormous lift, and turned to Floreal when he made it back to earth to just as fluidly pull his right arm back and spear his left arm forward into an archer’s stance.
Michael Jordan’s run as an NBA owner is coming to an end. Jordan’s reportedly agreed to sell the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall. Jordan has owned the Hornets for 13 seasons. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the pending sale.
In 2010 Jordan purchased a majority stake in the Hornets for $275 million. The price that Plotkin and Schnall are expected to pay Michael Jordan has not been announced, but expectations are that the team will sell for well more than $1 billion.
Matt Ishbia purchased the Phoenix Suns in late 2022 for $4 billion.
Shortly before the thrilling and controversial match between the USMNT and Mexico kicked off on Thursday night, a report from The Athletic indicated that Gregg Berhalter would be returning as manager of the American side. To say that decision is surprising would be an understatement.
While Berhalter was able to lead the USMNT out of the group stage during the 2022 World Cup, he was on thin ice among many American supporters. That ice became paper thin shortly after the U.S. fell to the Netherlands.
