Brandon Miller and Michael Jordan trash-talked each other during workout: ‘He told me I’m just a shooter’
We all know who’s going first overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, but the choice between Alabama’s Brandon Miller and the G-League Ignite’s Scoot Henderson for the Charlotte Hornets at No. 2 overall will set the course for the rest of the draft. Reports coming out of Hornets camp is that it’s truly down to those two and whoever gains the attention of Hornets outgoing majority owner Michael Jordan.

Bo Naylor waited 263 days for the moment he finally earned on Wednesday night.
Well, he’d probably been waiting 23 years to pick up his first major league hit—which he did with an eighth-inning single against the A’s—but the wait had to have been even more excruciating for the Guardians rookie after he failed to pick up a hit in five games after making his big league debut last October.
Naylor went hitless in his first three games this season, too, before finally coming through with a clutch knock against Oakland on Wednesday.
One of the key questions of the NBA offseason revolves around the Trail Blazers and their willingness to move on from star point guard Damian Lillard.
Lillard has not formally requested a trade, but has not been shy in answering questions regarding his playing future if it didn’t include returning to the Trail Blazers.
Shedeur Sanders is not attending the Manning Passing Academy this week after all. The son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, who will be the starting quarterback for the Buffaloes this fall, had to pull out.
Shedeur, a rising junior, spent his first two seasons with his father at Jackson State and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in FCS football (the FCS Heisman, basically) last season. This will be his first season on the FBS level.

Hours after honoring Marcus Smart, the Celtics traded him to Memphis
Social media teams for sports franchises work year-round to keep fans engaged, and that work continues into the off-season.
Sometimes, however, that can create an awkward situation.
That was the case with the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Early in the day, the team shared a tribute to guard Marcus Smart, highlighting his hustle, intensity, and prowess on both ends of the court:
“I go out there and leave everything I have on the floor.
LSU baseball is one win away from the College World Series final. The Tigers played their way out of the loser’s bracket to set up a battle of aces on Thursday night.
Wake Forest, which beat LSU on Monday to stay in the winner’s bracket, lost to the Bayou Bengals on Wednesday night. As a result, the two teams will play again to determine which school will face Florida in a three-game series for a national title starting on Saturday.
Paul Skenes, the top pitcher in college baseball, will throw for LSU.
Victor Wembanyama will likely be selected with the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, and the surefire top prospect has been making the media rounds this week ahead of his big night.
The 7’2″ Wembanyama was asked who his favorite player was growing up, and he gave an interesting answer.
“I remember at some point I was a big fan of Westbrook in OKC,” Wembanyama began. “But I have plenty, you know? I never had one big idol.”
The Westbrook answer by Wembanyama was interesting considering how different their games are.
Three of the world’s most terrible people are teaming up to cage fight.
Just when you thought celebrity fights couldn’t get any dumber, we could be approaching the stupidest fight in the history of humanity: Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg in a cage.
