With NBA free agency fast approaching, one of the biggest names available is point guard Russell Westbrook. The veteran endured a tumultuous 2022-23 season with the Lakers and Clippers, but he averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game.
Even at age 34, Westbrook still offers playmaking ability that could help contending teams. On Monday’s episode of ESPN’s First Take, former Celtics star Kendrick Perkins said the fit is clear for one Eastern Conference power.
“I would also love Russell Westbrook on the Miami Heat,” Perkins said.
Last year, when Tony Khan came up with the concept of a New Japan vs. AEW pay-per-view show, called Forbidden Door, there was a lot of criticism with the idea it would not be a success.
The feeling was that while New Japan Pro-Wrestling has some of the best wrestlers in the world, they are known to only a small percentage of American fans. Plus, because so many of the wrestlers involved were not AEW television regulars, the show didn’t have the long-term story lines to grab the audience.
NBA fans always can depend on Kevin Garnett to give them his unfiltered opinion on myriad topics. He often can be harsh, but this time he decided to give some brotherly advice to one of the NBA’s biggest stars—who has made mistake after mistake recently.
The all-time great took some time out with former Celtics teammate Tony Allen, and the two chopped it up while discussing Ja Morant. The Grizzlies star is facing a 25-game suspension to start the 2023–24 season after he flashed a handgun on Instagram Live for the second time.
Women’s sports are under attack. Folks with common sense have recognized the issue with transgender women – biological men – competing against women for quite some time, but now even the New York Times is admitting that men do not belong in women’s sports.
The Times – one of the more liberal mainstream outlets in the country – publishing a column titled ‘The Legal Foundation of Women’s Sports Is Under Fire’ signals that there may be a change in dialogue on the horizon.
The Cincinnati Reds currently lead the NL Central. They won 12 consecutive games before losing to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday and then lost again on Sunday. Despite the back-to-back defeats, they remain firmly in playoff position. And, a major reason why is the emergence of rookie Elly De La Cruz.
The Reds finally called the top prospect up to Cincinnati on June 6.
Going into that night’s contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Reds were 28-33. The team sat 5.5 games back in the division race.
Since then, though, the team has gone on a tear.
Nets forward Cameron Johnson is set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.
Although there’s been some talk that Johnson could be re-signed and traded, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said on a recent episode of Brian Windhorst & the Hoop Collective podcast that he believes the forward is expected to stay in Brooklyn.
With that, it’s possible the Nets could match the lucrative figures that have been mentioned as a potential price to acquire Johnson.
“I think he’ll probably get around 90 [million],” Windhorst said.

Bradley won the Travelers Championship at 23-under-par, and McIlroy was not too fond of the course that produced such low scoring.
The 2023 Travelers Championship was a birdie barrage as seemingly every player went low at TPC River Highlands this past weekend.
Knoxville News Sentinel published an article about a biological male cyclist competing in the women’s sports division. Because, on Sunday, Knoxville, Tennessee hosted the USA Cycling Pro Road championships. And biological male Austin Killips — who two weeks ago won a women’s race by over five minutes — competed in the event.
The writer establishes her position on the issue immediately. The first line of the story reads, “Austin Killips remembered why she loves cycling Friday night.
