Alabama forward Brandon Miller, a surefire top three prospect in Thursday’s NBA draft, met with reporters and made a baffling choice for his greatest player of all-time.
Forget the Michael Jordan-LeBron James debate, Miller has a pick that he believes trumps both players.
Paul George.
Yep, you read that right.
“I actually don’t think LeBron is the GOAT of basketball,” Miller began. “My GOAT of basketball is Paul George. I grew up watching him. It was never just LeBron.”

Let’s rank Victor Wembanyama’s 35 most mind-blowing plays in France ahead of the NBA Draft.
The NBA has never seen a prospect like Victor Wembanyama before. The 19-year-old born in suburban Paris will be both the tallest and longest player in the league next year. No one with his size has ever moved so gracefully on a basketball court. No one has ever been this skilled with the ball in their hands while also being this big, this fluid, and this young.
Wembanyama will be the No.
The staff at SI Fantasy recently participated in a 10-team PPR mock draft. The rosters required 1QB, 2 RB, 3WR, 1 TE and 2 FLX. Here is the final draft board and a breakdown from Michael Fabiano at SI.com.
I don’t do many 10-team drafts, and as the draft was unfolding, I realized maybe I should have approached my draft differently. I could have waited longer for a QB — just as Dave Seperson did, landing Dak Prescott in the 13th round.
The Lions became the latest team to unveil a new alternate helmet on Wednesday and they did so in truly Detroit fashion.
The unveiling video started with a classic Ford Mustang pulling up to Ford Field with an unrevealed person driving. In the back seat, the Lions typical gray helmet can be seen. But the individual instead grabs his duffle bag, unveiling a metallic light blue helmet—the same color as the Mustang.
According to an accompanying graphic, this color has never been worn before in the NFL.
The Detroit Lions’ new helmet is the coolest thing they’ve ever done
For the most part (/glances at Jameson Williams), things have been coming up in Detroit’s favor for this upcoming season. The Aaron Rodgers problem in the division is gone, headed to New York to play for the Jets. Oddsmakers like the Lions to win the division, spearheaded by a physical offense and a defense that improved in a lot of spots last season.
With the hype around Detroit sky high, the Lions released a new alternate helmet to commemorate their 90th season in existence and whew buddy is it CLEAN.
U.S. Soccer didn’t spare any expense announcing the women’s national team for the 2023 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday and the internet loved it. The stellar squad was announced via a nearly eight-minute long video in which celebrities, artists and athletes were given the honor of each announcing one of the 23 names on the coveted roster.
The list of celebrities started with President Joe Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, and then it was off to the races.
Jo Adell showed Tuesday why the Angels made him the No. 10 pick in 2017 MLB draft. He also made history.
Adell, a former consensus top-10 prospect in baseball, leads all minor leaguers with 20 home runs this season. And in the Salt Lake Bees’ game against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys on Tuesday night, Adell hit a truly colossal blast.
His game-tying three-run homer in the eighth traveling an astonishing 514 feet. That’s the longest home run ever tracked by MLB’s Statcast system, which has been in use in the majors since 2015 and at certain minor league levels since last year.
The Dolphins issued a brief statement Wednesday addressing assault allegations about star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who allegedly hit a Miami Beach marina employee last weekend.
“We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with Tyreek, his representatives and the NFL,” the statement read, per NFL.com. “We will reserve further comment at this time.”
Hill is being investigated by Miami-Dade police after he allegedly hit a man who worked at the Haulover Marina following a disagreement, according to Miami’s WPLG Local 10.
Jon,
Though I will be attempting to send this letter directly to Beemok Capital and its owner Ben Navarro, I’m hoping you might want to share some portion of this in the next mailbag. I understand sports are about money, but as a Cincinnatian (now living in Chicago), this hurts. Thanks for listening/reading:
Dear Mr. Navarro,
Please don’t move the Western and Southern Open out of Cincinnati. It belongs in Cincinnati. It’s been there more than 100 years. Thousands of people involved with this tournament would agree with me. I am 46, I grew up in Cincinnati. I was a tennis player.
